The SM9685 Severin convinced from day one. The milk foam has fine pores and also quite tight. But it is also often dependent on the milk. We have many types of milk and tried to be really really good has proved with 1.9% fat include the pasture milk from Hansano. Another trick is to add a drink lactose-free milk. No idea why, but it works then even better. Another trick is: Only foam cold, then put in the second round to warm.
Another great advantage of the device: The cleaning of the container comes within seconds or you can also just put the container in the dishwasher. Only stainless steel and the ring made of white plastic, which rotates. With other foamers cleaning was much more complex and time-consuming.
What we liked: A combined program, say like 60 seconds foaming cold, then warm up first. We'll do that at the moment still manually, so two passes, until cold, then hot (65 °).
Otherwise, our best recommendation for those who really fantastic froth without much effort wants.
