I ordered this product in January 2023 after my Zulay wire foamer stopped working after less than a year. While waiting for it to arrive, however, I found a tiny screwdriver and took my Zulay apart, and found that the problem was that over time milk had gotten into where the wire rod enters the motor housing, and solidified there, and that was what was stopping the Zulay from working. The other problem with the wire foamers, however, is if the wire rod gets bent even just a little, it dramatically reduces effective power. But with a little cleanup and careful straightening of the rod, I got the Zulay working like new again, just as the Subminimal arrived. Unlike the Zulay or similar, the Subminimal has a thick rod that cannot be easily bent. Also, the propeller and screen of the Subminimal is super easy to keep clean, which is not true of the wire foamers. I like my milk hot, so a certain amount of scalded milk builds up on the coiled wire of the wire foamer (true of all brands, not just Zulay). This doesn't rinse off, so requires occasional soaks and careful scrubbing with a soft toothbrush. To clean the Subminimal I just stick the business end under hot running water and turn it on, then remove the screen and repeat the rinse, then put the screen on and store. For the latte artist, the Subminimal is going to be the preferred tool, and they provide website tutorials on how to get the perfect foam and make those fancy designs. Honestly, I'm about convenience and tasty lattes in the morning. I pour my cold milk into a tall ceramic mug, and heat it in the microwave while I'm making the expresso in an Aeropress. I whisk the milk in the mug and pour the expresso into it, which is opposite from what a barista does. The Zulay wire foamer is FAST. It creates a dense foam of mixed bubble sizes (not ideal for latte art) in about ten seconds. In fact the Zulay is so powerful that it is pretty hard to use in a shallow round cup without making a mess, but it works great in a tall mug. With the Subminimal I get a dense microfoam on top of liquid milk, with less volume overall in the mug. Pros and cons for both. I really hate "disposable" gadgets, so I love the durable quality of the Subminimal. But for early morning ease of use, the Zulay wins. For the absolute best quality foam throughout my mug, I had to use both! The Zulay very quickly created a high volume of mixed bubble size foam, and then the Subminimal churned it creating a high volume microfoam. However... 3 months later the Zulay crapped out again. After a year of daily use, however, the Subminimal is working perfectly. The plastic housing of the screen did break after about 9 months, but replacement screens are pretty cheap on the Subminimal site. The Subminimal isn't as good as a barista's hot steam foamed milk, but it does the trick, is reliable, and quick, and is built to last.
