Rafow 4-in-1: what works, what doesn't?

What works well

  • Four real modes: thick foam, fine foam, warm milk and cold foam, covering everything from cappuccino to cold brew
  • Cold milk foam: unlike pure hot frothers, the Rafow also makes cold foam for iced coffee and cold drinks
  • Auto-off: the appliance switches itself off after 1 to 2 minutes, so no scorching and no supervision needed
  • Non-stick inside: the non-stick coated stainless steel inner wall makes rinsing out much easier
  • Insulated double wall: the double-layer wall keeps the handle cooler and protects the worktop

Points of criticism

  • Small foam quantity: only up to 130 ml for frothing, enough for one or two cups, but not for a whole family
  • Whole milk recommended: for a good foam result the manufacturer recommends whole milk with over 3% fat, and with skimmed milk or plant-based drinks the foam turns out thinner
  • No-name brand: Rafow is a little-known brand; the warranty and spare-part situation is harder to assess than with established manufacturers

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Rafow 4-in-1 in everyday use: Four real modes (thick foam, fine foam, warm milk and cold foam, covering everything from cappuccino to cold brew) and Cold milk foam (unlike pure hot frothers, the Rafow also makes cold foam for iced coffee and cold drinks). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: small foam quantity, since it is only up to 130 ml for frothing, enough for one or two cups, but not for a whole family.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Rafow 4-in-1 Milk Frother: four real modes and cold milk foam, and the trade-off is the small foam quantity. At 7.8/10 a fair deal from €30.”

Frequently asked questions about the Rafow 4-in-1

Can the Rafow also make cold milk foam?
Yes. One of the four modes produces cold foam without heating, practical for iced coffee, cold matcha drinks or cold brew. That means it can do more than a pure hot frother.
How much milk fits in?
Up to 130 ml is intended for frothing, and up to 300 ml for heating alone without foam. Markings inside show the respective maximum fill.
Which milk works best?
The manufacturer recommends whole milk with over 3% fat for the densest foam. Low-fat milk and plant-based drinks can be frothed but tend to give less stable foam.
Is it easy to clean?
The inner wall is non-stick coated stainless steel and the lid has a large opening, and a cleaning brush is included. According to the manufacturer, you should clean the jug by hand rather than in the dishwasher.
