You don't need an espresso machine for a good latte or a dedicated tea station for hot water on demand. A handheld frother and an electric kettle cover most cafe-style drinks in very little counter space.

Buying guide: what to look for

Handheld frother

Battery wands foam hot or cold milk and also mix matcha and protein powder.

Electric kettle

Look for automatic shut-off and a wide opening for cleaning.

Non-dairy milk

Oat and barista-style milks usually foam better than thin almond milk.

Frequently asked questions

Can a handheld frother froth cold milk?

Yes, handheld wands work with hot or cold milk, including many non-dairy milks.

Is an electric kettle faster than the stove?

Electric kettles generally boil small amounts of water faster than a stovetop kettle and shut off automatically.
