More than eighty years ago, Hamilton Beach introduced the DrinkMaster to the commercial food-service business. Now you can bring the same nostalgic look to your kitchen and open a soda fountain whenever the mood strikes. Malts and milk shakes turn out frothy, thick, and delicious; this machine also makes a fine yogurt-and-fruit smoothie. In comparison tests, DrinkMaster milk shakes were preferred over shakes made in a blender. The unit has a two-speed motor, a tilting head for easy removal of the stainless steel container, and a removable mixing shaft for easy cleaning.
