frother

Milk bubble device

A frother is a device that froths—typically a small handheld tool for frothing milk for coffee drinks: She used a frother to make foam for her latte.

The word also describes someone who froths with excitement or rage, especially in Australian slang where a frother is an enthusiast or fanatic: He's a real frother for vintage motorcycles.
