The beverage frothing device comprises a first beverage passageway comprised of: a first beverage suction chamber (13) in communication with a first beverage suction duct (17) and a first steam inlet duct (21), wherein the first beverage suction duct is configured for communication with a beverage container; an air inlet port (27A); a frothing arrangement for mixing beverage delivered through the first beverage suction duct (17) with air from the air inlet port (27A) and producing frothed beverage; a first beverage dispensing spout (31), wherefrom frothed beverage is dispensed. The beverage frothing device further comprises a second beverage passageway comprised of a second beverage suction chamber (15) in communication with a second beverage suction duct (19) and a second steam inlet duct (23), wherein the second beverage suction duct is configured for communication with the beverage container. A steam feeding arrangement is further provided, which is configured for dispensing steam selectively to the first steam delivery duct (21), for producing frothed beverage, or to the second steam delivery duct (23) for producing hot, unfrothed beverage.

1. A beverage frothing device comprising: a first beverage passageway comprising: a first beverage suction chamber in communication with a first beverage suction duct and a first steam inlet duct, wherein the first beverage suction duct is configured to communication with a beverage container;an air inlet port;a frothing arrangement configured to: mix a beverage delivered through the first beverage suction duct with air from the air inlet port; andproduce frothed beverage;a first beverage dispensing spout, wherefrom the frothed beverage is dispensed;a second beverage passageway comprising: a second beverage suction chamber in communication with a second beverage suction duct and a second steam inlet duct, wherein the second beverage suction duct is configured to communication with the beverage container; a steam feeding arrangement arranged on a displaceable switching member that is selectively movable,the steam feeding arrangement comprising: a steam delivery nozzle arrangement configured to:receive steam from a steam source through a steam entry aperture; andbe selectively movable into one of: a first switching position, a second switching position and a third switching position;wherein the steam delivery nozzle arrangement comprises: a single steam delivery nozzle selectively movable by the displaceable switching member into one of:the first switching position, wherein the steam delivery nozzle is in communication with the first steam inlet duct, for producing a frothed beverage;the second switching position, wherein the steam delivery nozzle is in communication with the second steam inlet duct for producing a hot, unfrothed beverage;and the third switching position, wherein the steam delivery nozzle is in communication with both the first steam inlet duct and the second steam inlet duct wherein one of: hot water and steam is delivered through both the first beverage passageway and the second beverage passageway. 2. The beverage frothing device of claim 1, wherein the second beverage passageway comprises: a second beverage dispensing spout, wherefrom the unfrothed beverage is dispensed. 3. The beverage frothing device of claim 1, wherein the displaceable switching member is displaceable by rotation about a rotation axis (A-A) to selectively move the steam delivery nozzle in one of: the first switching position, the second switching position and the third switching position. 4. The beverage frothing device of claim 1, wherein the displaceable switching member further comprises: a beverage feeding duct, which can be brought in communication with one of: the first beverage suction duct, when the steam delivery nozzle is in the first position and the second beverage suction duct, when the steam delivery nozzle is in the second position. 5. The beverage frothing device of claim 1, wherein the steam delivery nozzle comprises: a first end opening; anda second end opening the first end opening in communication with a steam distribution chamber, which has a dimension in the direction of displacement of the displaceable switching member, such that in both the first switching position and the second switching position the steam distribution chamber is in communication with the steam entry aperture, to establish a flow connection between the steam entry aperture and one of: the first steam inlet duct and the second steam inlet duct, and the second end opening of the steam delivery nozzle has a cross section that is sufficiently small for establishing a flow connection with one of the first steam inlet duct and the second steam inlet duct, depending upon the position of the displaceable switching member. 6. The beverage frothing device of claim 5, wherein in the third switching position of the displaceable switching member, the second end opening of the steam delivery nozzle is facing the steam entry aperture and the steam distribution chamber establishes a communication between the steam delivery nozzle and both the first steam inlet duct and the second steam inlet duct. 7. The beverage frothing device of claim 6, wherein in the third switching position the first beverage suction duct and the second beverage suction duct are closed by a shutter integrally movable with the switching member. 8. A beverage jug comprising a beverage frothing device according to claim 1. 9. The beverage jug of claim 8, comprising: a jug body; anda jug cover, wherein the jug cover supports the beverage frothing device. 10. A beverage-producing machine comprising a steam delivery line and a beverage frothing device according to claim 1, connectable to the steam delivery line, to establish a communication between the steam delivery line and the steam feeding arrangement of the beverage frothing device. 11. The beverage-producing machine of claim 10, wherein the beverage frothing device is supported by a beverage jug.
