The MilkEasy Plus is not sold in the US. Lavazza launched it in 2026 through its UK shop and retailers in the UK, Europe and Australia, and the cable in its manual ends in a European plug. It is on this site because people ask about it and because the way it works is worth knowing before you buy any jug frother.
What is the Lavazza MilkEasy Plus?
It is a small electric jug frother that sits on a power base. You pour cold milk in to a marked level, press one button to pick a preparation, and the whisk inside spins while the jug warms the milk from below. When the cycle ends it beeps and switches itself off. Lavazza publishes four preparations: hot milk, foamed milk, hot cappuccino and cold cappuccino.
Because it is not sold in the US, treat this page as a guide to what the maker publishes rather than a shopping recommendation. If you live in the UK or Europe, it is sold on the maker page and on Amazon UK. In the US, the closest match on this site is the Nespresso Aeroccino 4, another four-recipe jug that makes cold foam. For frothers sold in the US, see every electric milk frother we rate.

How the MilkEasy Plus froths and heats milk
The jug has two fill lines. The upper MILK line is for 180 ml and the lower CAPP line is for 90 ml. The manual tells you never to fill below the CAPP line, because the appliance may overheat, and never above the MILK line, because hot milk can splash out. It also says not to run the jug empty.
Hot milk and foamed milk use the full 180 ml. The two cappuccino modes use only 90 ml, which is the reason for the lower line. Cold cappuccino skips the heating and, according to the manual, needs milk straight from the fridge at roughly 0 to 4 degrees Celsius. Milk that has already been heated should not be reused.
A single magnetic whisk handles every mode, so there is no second attachment to swap in or lose. It lifts out of the jug for washing, and the manual warns you to keep it from falling out when you pour.
Cleaning the MilkEasy Plus: what goes in the dishwasher
This is where the marketing and the manual need to be read together. The maker page lists the removable lid and whisk as dishwasher safe, and the cleaning table in the manual agrees for the lid, its sealing ring and the whisk. The jug itself is rinsed under running water and wiped, and it must not be immersed or put in the dishwasher. The power base can only be wiped with a damp cloth and dried. The manual also says the jug, whisk and lid must be washed after every use.
The PowerLix handheld, for comparison, has no jug at all, so there is less to wash, but its maker says the electric body must not be put in water either.
Lavazza MilkEasy Plus vs PowerLix Milk Frother Pro
These do different jobs. The PowerLix Milk Frother Pro is a battery-powered handheld whisk with a stainless steel rod that you hold in a cup of milk you have already warmed. It is listed at $25.99 and it does not heat anything. The MilkEasy Plus warms and froths in one step, runs a timed cycle without you holding it, and offers a cold mode, but it needs a mains socket, takes up counter space and holds a fixed 90 to 180 ml.
If you only want foam on top of a latte and already heat your milk some other way, the handheld is the simpler tool. If you want a hot cappuccino from cold milk at the push of a button, a jug frother is the format to look at, and in the US that means a different brand than this one.
Is the Lavazza MilkEasy Plus worth it?
Lavazza lists it at £79 on its UK site, which is a premium over basic frothers and pays for four preset modes, the single magnetic whisk and the Lavazza name. Nobody has tested it for us, so there is no claim here about how good the foam is. What the maker does publish is a mix of strengths and gaps. The capacity of 180 ml means one large latte or two small drinks at most. Lavazza does not publish a warranty term or say that replacement parts are sold, which matters on a countertop appliance with a heating base and a spinning part. The unit also has a European plug and a 220 to 240 volt rating, so it is not a product to import to the US without an adapter and a voltage check.
Who should buy the Lavazza MilkEasy Plus (and who should not)
Buyers in the UK or Europe who want one button for hot milk, hot foam and cold foam, and who mostly make one or two drinks at a time, are who it is built for. Lavazza says it froths dairy and plant-based milk, and the manual adds that a barista-style plant drink is advised and that plant drinks do not guarantee the best results.
It is not for anyone in the US, since it is not sold there. It is also the wrong tool for hot chocolate made from powder, because the manual says soluble powders can block the whisk and damage the parts. And it is not for large batches, as the maximum is 180 ml.
