Bought a $60 manual milk frother that just sits in my drawer now
I got really into trying to make cafe-style drinks at home about six months ago, so I ordered this fancy handheld frother online. It worked okay for a week, but then I found out my regular French press can froth milk just as well (and it's way easier to clean). Has anyone else bought a single-use gadget they regret, or found a better way to froth with stuff they already own?

Ever think the real waste is the mental space these things take up? Like, just seeing it in the drawer makes me feel bad for not using it.

My sister gave me one of those as a gift and it felt so wasteful. The real issue is that these gadgets create more trash when they break. My frother's cheap plastic handle cracked after a few months. Now I just shake hot milk in a mason jar, it works perfectly and I don't have another thing to store. The whole single-use kitchen tool trend is kind of a scam lol.
