Our take
Buy it if
Households that make several milk drinks at once, or anyone pairing a frother with a machine that has no steam wand.
Think twice if
Takes more counter space than a small one-button frother
Advantages and limitations
Advantages
- Induction heating warms milk gently and evenly (per Breville)
- Choose your temperature with the side dial
- Latte and cappuccino frothing discs for silky or airy foam
- Turns itself off when the milk reaches your temperature
- The jug goes in the dishwasher (per Breville)
Limitations
- Takes more counter space than a small one-button frother
- Frothed milk is lovely for lattes, but it isn't the same as the fine microfoam of a skilled steam wand for latte art
Overview
There's something soothing about warm milk on a cold morning, and the Milk Café makes it effortless. Pour milk into the stainless jug, pop in a frothing disc, choose your temperature on the dial and press start. Breville's induction heating warms the milk gently and evenly, and the machine switches off once it reaches the temperature you picked.
Two discs, two moods. The latte disc gives a creamier, silkier texture; the cappuccino disc whips in more air for a lofty foam. There's a measuring cap for adding chocolate or chai while it mixes, which makes it a cosy treat for non-coffee drinkers in the house too.
Its big strength is volume. The jug is roomy enough for more than one drink, and it goes straight into the dishwasher (per Breville). It pairs naturally with brewers that have no steam wand, such as the AeroPress or a Moccamaster, for a homemade café au lait.
Cosy tip: start with cold, fresh milk straight from the fridge. Whole milk foams richest, but many oat "barista" milks froth beautifully too.

Compatibility & maintenance

The jug is dishwasher safe, according to Breville. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and keep it dry. Breville lists a 1-year limited warranty on the US model.
Questions about the Breville Milk Café Milk Frother
Is the Breville Milk Café jug dishwasher safe?
Yes. Breville says you can put the jug straight into the dishwasher.
What is the difference between the latte and cappuccino discs?
The latte disc makes a creamier, silkier milk; the cappuccino disc adds more air for a taller, lighter foam.
Can the Milk Café froth plant milk?
Yes, many plant milks froth well, especially "barista" versions of oat and soy milk, which are made for foaming.
Does the Milk Café turn off automatically?
Yes. It switches off once the milk reaches the temperature you set.
Should I choose the Milk Café or the Nespresso Aeroccino 3?
Choose the Milk Café for bigger batches and a temperature dial; choose the Aeroccino 3 for a smaller, simpler one-button frother. See Milk Café vs Aeroccino 3.
