The DrinkMaster, and why the cup is the point

Check price on Amazon Opens Amazon.com · affiliate link

Hamilton Beach has made this drink mixer, in one form or another, since the 1930s. The shape has barely moved, and the reason is the cup.

A spindle mixer does not chop; it shears. That only works if the vessel is narrow enough to force the liquid back through the blade, which is why the 28-ounce stainless cup is fixed in the design rather than an accessory. Two speeds, both slow by blender standards, and a motor that sits above the cup instead of beneath it.

What we like about it

  • Two speeds, both deliberately slow — a blender this is not
  • 28 oz stainless cup, part of the mechanism rather than an extra
  • Metal housing on the classic finishes; the coloured ones are painted metal, not plastic
