Proposed is a milk frother including a milk feed conduit (2), a pump (5) for forwarding the milk, at least one means for heating the milk, as well as a blender element (1) for blending the milk with the frothing medium. The milk is first heated and then air is jetted into the milk. After this, the milk/air blend is fed to a blending section of the blender element (1) where it is multiply deflected and/or decombined to generate high-quality milk froth.
