How we compiled this
Dataset covers automatic jug, induction-heating jug, and handheld-wand milk frothers; espresso machines with built-in steam wands are excluded. Primary sources are manufacturer product pages and major US retailers (Target, Best Buy, Whole Latte Love, KitchenKapers, The Secura, Maestri House, National Wholesale Supply) plus review sites (Coffeeness, Coffee Slang). Prices reflect USD MSRP or current typical US retail at time of research; capacity_ml is the maximum heating volume (the larger fill line) unless noted; boolean specs (true/false) indicate a confirmed feature, null indicates the information was not verifiable in consulted sources. All 13 drafted products were confirmed to exist; corrections applied to Aeroccino 4 capacity, Secura nonstick/dishwasher (set null — that model is stainless, not nonstick, and the non-detachable 250ml jug's dishwasher-safety is uncorroborated), and Zulay price (raised to published $14.99). accessedAt 2026-06-20.
Last verified 2026-06-20. We re-check published specs and prices on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
