Comparisons
The Caspresso frothPRO 202 Automatic Milk Frother is a similarly sized and priced product, with three presets much like the Gourmia GMF235. It also boasts a transparent lid, so you can see exactly how your milk is frothing.
It has a much higher capacity: 8oz and 12oz, respectively, for froth and heat, so if you find yourself needing a little more from your frother, the Caspresso frothPRO is a comparable alternative.
The Epica Automatic Electric Milk frother and Heater is another comparably priced milk frother with three options for frothing or heating. It has a bit less frothing capacity than the Gourmia GMF235 at 4.25 and 8.5 oz, respectively.
This product also boasts a warranty of two years.
