If you don't want to spend a lot of money and are hoping for a simple milk frother, the ElitaPro Powerful Milk Frother Wand is the perfect choice. It is a handheld milk frother that comes in a large variety of colors and even comes with its own stand to hold it up when not in use. The whisk itself is stainless steel and rust-resistant, making it easy to clean.

With the handheld frother, you are able to control the amount of froth that you create. The longer you place the frother in, the more froth you're going to get. It's also an added bonus to manually froth your own milk, as you can visually see when you've reached your ideal froth.

Since the cup is stainless steel, it's easy to handwash, or it can be placed in the dishwasher — which is another plus as well.
