I like to make lattes with black tea. I usually boil the milk, water,
spices, and tea in a large pot.

I'd like to start just making a cup for myself and not necessarily have to
use pots or pans. Has anyone found a good reliable hand held steamer that I
could use to heat the milk.

Thank you

I have never seen one however I do know that in the larger espresso
machines a high pressure reinforced chamber holds steam in at high
temperature to offer an effecient steaming delivery and i cant think
of how a hand held version would house such a chamber. If you come
accross one I would like to know. Maybe a personal cappacino machine
can work there are several on the market that have the steamer spout
on the side.

Thanks for the response. On the weekend, I was eyeing some of the lower
cost expresso machines and will probably pick one up.

Try Bialetti, I have seen one that they made. Sits on stove like a
mocha pot. Has the wand and made to create steam for cappucinos Try
