milk steamer
Barista's heating wand
A milk steamer is a device that heats and froths milk, typically used in espresso drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
Most coffee machines include a steam wand for this purpose, though standalone milk steamers exist for home use.
The steam aerates the milk while heating it, creating the characteristic foam: She used the milk steamer to make microfoam for latte art.
