After relying on multiple cups of coffee every day for a decade, I recently decided to scale it back. That said, I still value a high-quality, luxurious cup of decaf in the morning, which I drink in the form of a coconut latte.

The key to my barista-style beverages is the Zulay Handheld Milk Frother from Amazon, which creates thick, velvety foam in just a few seconds. Even better? It is only $10, proving that luxury doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

The Zulay frother weighs just under 3 ounces, but this powerful gadget creates the creamiest lattes in just seconds. While my decaf espresso is brewing (I use a Nespresso Vertuo machine), I'll add about a 1/4 or 1/2 cup of organic coconut milk to my mug and insert the handheld frother  so that the stainless steel whisk is completely submerged. 

With a push of a button, the frother spins rapidly, creating a whirlpool of coconut milk and creamy foam without splashing. It takes just about 30 seconds for the coconut milk to transform into thick foam for my latte. I pour my shot of decaf into the mug, add stevia and cinnamon, and I'm ready to go for the day. It's really that easy.

Cleanup is straightforward, too. All you have to do is run the whisk under hot water and wipe it down with a towel. Sometimes I'll add a bit of soap to a sponge, but for the most part water is enough. There's no need to recharge either—the Zulay Handheld Milk Frother runs on two AA batteries, which I've found last about two months or so. It's also so easy to travel with; I recently brought it on a trip to Hawaii, and my group enjoyed fresh lattes every day. I just rolled it in a small towel and tucked it in my checked luggage.

To buy: Zulay Handheld Milk Frother, $10 at amazon.com

And it seems I'm not alone in my obsession with this affordable milk frother. It has over 14,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, with shoppers confirming how powerful and easy to use it is.

One person called it a "powerhouse" of a machine, writing, "I am absolutely impressed with it and wish I had purchased this frother instead of the others." Another shopper said it surpassed their expectations, and that "within maybe 10 seconds, the jar was filled to the brim with nice, thick fine-bubble foam."

Although the frother works great with coconut milk, other shoppers love it with dairy, too: "You can turn 2% milk into whipped cream-like texture in seconds," someone said.

For a small device that makes a major upgrade, look no further than the Zulay Handheld Milk Frother. It's guaranteed to create deliciously creamy barista-style lattes every time.
