Sometime in 2020 I listened to Canto Ostinato for the first time, and my enthrallment with the piece had begun. I was transfixed by it's particular amalgam of harmony, repetition, and pacing. By the spring of 2023 I had constructed and released my own solo interpretation, and I assumed at that point my working relationship with the composition had run it's course. But I underestimated it's magnetism. The following year I was back in it's grips, having been invited by Metropolis Ensemble's Andrew Cyr to expand on the foundation I had laid with the piece. Soon I was in Brooklyn, on a team of six with Cyr and the members of Sandbox Percussion, humbled and thrilled to be helping architect a brand new large ensemble arrangement of Canto Ostinato for a summer solstice performance at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We did so, our cohort growing to include the students of The New School's Sandbox Percussion Summer Seminar, as well as composers David Leon, Ben Wallace, and Ledah Finck and the Bergamot Quartet. It was a day we will all remember-sweeping, dreamlike, and what felt like a quintessential culmination. But even then... The piece still beckoned, and it became clear this new orchestration called for the embarkment on a studio album. A permanent document of our now collective ardor. Refined over a year and recorded in New York, 2025, this performance recasts the piece anew in a towering framework of mallet percussion, woodwinds, strings, and piano. It is our truest attempt at conveying Canto's beauty and magnitude in all it's kaleidoscopic harmony, dynamism, tension, and release. I stand once again in awe of Simeon ten Holt's monumental creation; to be a thread in it's sonic fabric is one of the great honors of my musical life. I don't assume we might be so fortunate again... but who knows.

So far. so good.
Color: White
This is my 3rd frother that I purchased from Amazon. The others were brand name frothers that broken within a few months of use. I won't name here (hint: begins with an N and ends with an o) This Milk frother from Maestri however works excellent. Multiple heat and drink settings and makes the perfect foam every time. I especially like how the pitcher is removable from the electric base and can be washed with out worry. easy to use. Just read the manual to understand all the settings, makes a perfect froth in less than 2 minutes. I've only had this for a few weeks but I am impressed.

Loving it so far!
Color: White, Color: White
02 Nov 2025
I've only used this twice and I already love it. My main reason for buying it is for protein hot chocolate I drink twice a day. I previously made it at the stove and that took 13 minutes of constant mixing to reach 160°.
My hot chocolate is 1 cup of milk, 1 tbsp each cacao powder and panela (sugar), 1-2 tbsp collagen powder, vanilla extract, and 1 whole egg. I premix everything before pouring it into the frother because, while it may be able to handle the powders, there's no way that whisk will be able to break the whole egg enough to thoroughly blend it before it starts cooking. I'm totally fine premixing the night before and heating it in the morning. I made the first batch this morning with 2 cups of milk doubling only the cacao and sugar which brought it to just below the top max line, and it came out perfect. It was smooth and there was no burnt taste. I used the recommended hot chocolate attachments, lowest froth setting, and 160° temp setting. I had almost no froth in my hot chocolate which was perfect. I removed the pitcher as soon as it was done to prevent any burning. I checked the temp with a thermometer and the temp was actually 165°. I don't really know if that would impact the taste if there was less milk. For the 2 cups, it was still perfect.
I do wish there was a little more temp control like a 150° or 155° setting. I also wish it was able to give you the temp as it was heating in case you want to pull it off just before it hit the set temp. The bottom right button is superfluous. It helps with the foam setting, but you can also simply press each of those buttons directly.
Cleaning is super easy, just remove the pitcher and attachments. I love that the attachments are magnetic, but I recommend taking them out before pouring because the magnets aren't that strong. All in all, great for the price and perfect for my needs.

Epic. Works great.
Color: Black
Works great every day. Super powerful and smooth compared to my old battery powered one. The shaft is much thicker and is more securely positioned so I can't imagine it becoming tweaked off balance like my old one. And it comes with an extra mixer attachment! I imagine I've put that away for a long time, but we'll see. Easy to turn on and off with one hand, but I can imagine it being less easy than a simple push button for someone with decreased thumb dexterity or mobility. I do wish the lowest speed was slightly lower, but it hasn't caused any splashing or other detriment. The speed adjustment is very smooth and power is abundant. Love the stand, Usb c charge port is solid, battery life is excellent.

You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs
Color: Black
Yes. You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs — buy it now. Don’t waste any more time comparing products.
After hours, days, weeks, of researching and comparing, I ordered this one. I do not regret it. It is powerful. It was less than $25 when I bought it. It has a USB charger port and it feels solid in your hand. It has a turn-knob at the top to control the variable speed immersion blender aka milk frother aka wand frother. Charge battery fully for 2hrs before first use and then you’re all set. It works very well. It functioned as expected and then even better. Yes. It exceeded expectations. I hope it lasts a long time. It feels like it is very well made and high quality. Classiest and best wand frother I have ever owned. And I’ve owned over 3-4 in the past 10yrs.
I got this one at $25 instead of the highest-rated one for $9.99 because those require AA batteries and this frother however is USB-C rechargeable!
So in 1-2 years it will have paid for itself in battery costs alone.
But there’s no price I can put on how enjoyable it is to use this super powerful, super smooth, high quality, wand frother.

Quality Design
Color: Gray
Excellent frother/mixer
Pros:
- Quality feels premium.
- Plenty of power to mix even with a drink packed with ice and peanut butter. Basically a mini handheld mixer.
- Ease of use is great. I appreciated that this had a longer brother so I can mix drinks in taller cups. Also the grip is fantastic and it is easy very easy to change the speed with just one hand so you can hold the drink with the other.
Longevity - So far it's been holding up and hasn't needed a battery replacement.
Cons:
None so far.
