Have you found using a coffee frother affecting the flavour much over stirring?
Have been put off using them as they add some much air to the liquid, and worry that will dull some of the aroma molecules and nicotine.
I tried a frother last year while making some custard.
Made 100ml and decanted 50ml into another bottle (i use wide neck glass jars)
I used the frother on 1 bottle and just left the other to steep.
Iirc i seen this recommended on a Lordy video, and he said to froth until cloudy, leave till clear and froth it again.
After 1 week, the frothed custard was darker, as i presume the frothing introduces more air bubbles, and speeds up oxidisation.
However it tasted virtually the same as the unfrothed custard, oh and not ready lol
I tried them every week after, and at 4 weeks both custards still tasted the same, but as before the frothered one was darker.
So its just my opinion, but i dont think it speeds up steeping.
