Smeg's new Mini Milk Frother is small, stylish and surprisingly versatile
The Mini Milk Frother is available in six different colorways and can be used to make hot froth, cold froth and warm milk, making it ideal for virtually any milk-based drink you could hope to create.
Smeg's Mini Milk Frother MFF02 is under four inches wide and eight inches tall, making it suitable for even the smallest kitchen counters. It's also nearly half the price of the brand's first milk frother, retailing for £99 (which equates to $130).
Available for European markets from today, the Mini Milk Frother is set to launch in the U.S. from September 1st.
Available now direct at Smeg.com, the Mini Milk Frother has a maximum capacity of 180 ml, making it well-suited to lattes or cappuccinos.
The Smeg Mini Milk Frother doesn't necessarily do anything other milk frothers can't. It uses a removable whisk to texturize milk while heating it, and its cold setting and warm setting allow you to either whisk without heating, or heat without whisking.
We've tried smarter alternatives, such as the Subminimal Nanofoamer Pro Gen 2, but where the Smeg Mini wins is style and size. It's insanely compact. You could slot it next to the narrowest Nespresso machine and have a complete coffee setup that would happily serve all your iced latte and cappuccino needs.
You could even use it to make matcha lattes or hot drinking chocolate. And thanks to its removable whisk and nonstick coating, it should be easy to keep clean.

We'll be testing the Smeg Mini Milk Frother ahead of its U.S. launch in September, but it's available to buy directly at Smeg for £99 for U.K. readers.

Wall Street gains, as oil ends lower in volatile trade
Wall Street indexes gained on Wednesday on largely upbeat corporate earnings, and U.S. yields also rose, while European shares closed flat and broke a two-day winning streak. U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on goods from India, saying the country has imported Russian oil. Oil prices seesawed and finished down, as Trump's remarks about progress in talks with Moscow created uncertainty on whether the U.S. would impose new sanctions on Russia. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe rose 0.65% to 933.23. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq Composite led gains, rising 1.21% to 21,169.42 as Apple shares climbed after news of its plans to announce a domestic manufacturing pledge. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.18% to 44,193.12 and the S&P 500 rose 0.73% to 6,345.06. 'Earnings are seeing a mixed reaction. Particularly for a few of the AI names, expectations were just extremely high, but by and large, the earnings in aggregate have been good enough to keep a floor under the market,' said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird. Europe's broad STOXX 600 index closed 0.06% lower, dragged down by healthcare stocks after Trump announced a tariff plan for the pharmaceutical sector. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed lower by 0.08% to 654.33, while Japan's Nikkei rose 0.60% to 40,794.86. The health of the U.S. economy is a major focus for markets, and Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday after data showed services sector activity unexpectedly flatlined in July. That reinforced the message from Friday's soft jobs data, which caused markets to significantly increase bets on the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September. 'There's this tug-of-war going on between the more concrete signs that we have seen that the U.S. economy is slowing and the fact that rate cuts are coming, which removes some of the pressure on valuations,' said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Lombard Odier. Traders have been focused on tariff impacts. 'The market is more focused on the fact that we're not getting maximalist tariffs, but I wonder if it isn't focusing enough on the fact that we are still getting something moderate, and more could be coming, pharmaceuticals for example,' Chaar said. Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips in the next week or so, while the U.S. would initially impose a 'small tariff' on pharmaceutical imports before increasing it substantially in a year or two. He said the U.S. was close to a trade deal with China, and he would meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping before the end of the year if an agreement was struck. Brazil's government has filed a consultation request at the World Trade Organization over U.S. tariffs. In the government bond market, Treasury yields gained ground. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 3.4 basis points to 4.23%, from 4.196% late on Tuesday. The yield on the benchmark German 10-year Bunds DE10YT=RR rose 0.2 basis points to 2.644%, from 2.642% late on Wednesday. Fed funds futures imply a 94% chance of a rate cut next month, with at least two cuts priced in for this year, according to the CME's FedWatch. Investors are waiting for Trump's pick to fill a coming vacancy on the Fed board of governors. Trump said the decision will be made soon, while ruling out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a contender to replace current chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026. The euro was up 0.68% at $1.1653. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell 0.5% to 98.24. Brent crude futures fell 75 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $66.89 a barrel, while U.S. crude dropped 81 cents, or 1.2%, to settle at $64.35.

Trump could meet Putin as early as next week, reports say
President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in person as early as next week, according to multiple reports, just days after a Trump-imposed deadline on Putin to end the war in Ukraine expires. Trump will meet with Putin and then with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the New York Times first reported, adding that the plans were disclosed in a call with European leaders on July 6. The White House did not confirm the meeting, but indicated the "Russians" were pushing for a meeting. 'As President Trump said earlier today on TRUTH Social, great progress was made during Special Envoy Witkoff's meeting with President Putin," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "The Russians expressed their desire to meet with President Trump, and the President is open to meeting with both President Putin and President Zelensky. President Trump wants this brutal war to end.' The Washington Post also later reported that a meeting between Trump and Putin would occur. On July 28, Trump announced that he would be giving Russia 10 to 12 days to end its three-year war on Ukraine or face "stiff tariffs." That deadline falls on Aug. 8. Trump has threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" of up to 100% on countries that trade with Russia, particularly those in the energy sector. The president signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on imports from India in retaliation for the country's Russian oil imports, doubling India's U.S. tariff rate to 50%. set to go into effect Aug. 7. Trump's Aug. 6 move marks the first time the president has deployed his so-called "secondary tariffs" on Russian trading partners. Trump has grown increasingly impatient with the Russian leader since May, when he said Putin had "gone absolutely crazy" after Russia launched a barrage of 367 drones and missiles at Ukrainian cities a week after he'd had a two-hour chat with Putin, seeking an end to the war. White House envoy Steve Witkoff met Aug. 6 with Putin in Moscow in an effort by the Trump administration to convince the Russian leader to end fighting in Ukraine ahead of the deadline.
