This sophisticated milk frothing device, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category in 2021, represents a significant advancement in beverage preparation technology. The design features a classical appearance inspired by traditional milk bottles, incorporating horizontal ribs that provide both structural integrity and visual harmony. With dimensions of 96mm x 96mm x 173mm and weighing 0.9kg, this compact appliance offers versatile functionality through its ability to prepare both hot and cold milk froth, as well as heated milk, with a single intuitive button interface. The device's thoughtful engineering includes a magnetic whisk system, a coated vessel for easy cleaning, and a transparent lid for preparation monitoring, while its backlit button with a colored ring enables seamless integration with other appliances. The product's technical specifications demonstrate its practical efficiency, featuring a power rating of 420-500W, operating at 220-240V and 50-60Hz, with carefully considered capacity limitations of 60ml minimum and 180ml maximum for milk heating. The design process, which spanned approximately 15 months in Turin, Italy, involved extensive conceptual research, 3D modeling, and prototyping to achieve an optimal balance between ergonomics and functionality. The appliance's construction utilizes high-quality materials including textured and glossy ABS plastic for the main shell, complemented by rubber components for stability and sealing, while the metal ring on top enhances pouring precision and cleanliness.
