Bellman CX-25S Stovetop Milk Steamer

The Bellman CX-25S is a stovetop milk steamer that makes real steamed milk and microfoam at home, the way an espresso machine's steam wand does, without needing an espresso machine. It's a sealed stainless steel boiler: you add water, set it on the stove, and the heat builds steam that you release through the wand to texture milk for cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites. Solidly built from 18/8 stainless steel, it's a straightforward, durable tool for anyone who wants proper steamed milk alongside their coffee.

How It Works

Water in the base boils and builds steam, which you direct through the steam wand into a jug of milk, heating and texturing it in one step. It gives you the hands-on control of a real steam wand, so you can build anything from dense cappuccino foam to silky latte microfoam, and it works no matter how you make the coffee itself. There's a safety valve built in, and the bakelite handle and knobs stay cool enough to handle.

Compatibility

The CX-25S works on gas, electric and induction stovetops, but induction has one important requirement: the burner must closely match the 10 cm (4 in) base of the steamer. A burner that's too large can stop the induction from engaging at all. Bellman advises a small burner for best results, though a medium one may also work. On gas or electric, match the flame or element to the base as you would any small pot.
