I you're going to go to the trouble of having an epic cup of coffee then go all the way and foam the milk or milk alternative.

I love this one. I don't love that no one in my house will clean it when they are finished! This gets pulled out when my hands are really hurting in the winter months and I need as much hands free helpers as possible.
