Abstract: The invention provides a device (100, 200, 300, 600) for whipping or agitating a liquid to give the liquid a more solid or frothy nature, comprising: an inner container (120), which inner container is suitable for receiving the liquid, a main body (110) comprising an opening (116) adapted to releasably receive the inner container; an agitation element (136) for agitating the liquid when the liquid is received in the inner container and the inner container is received in the opening of the main body; a driving element (132) for driving the agitation element; and an electrical connection (154, 152, 111) for providing electrical energy to the driving element wherein the inner container (120) comprises a handle (112).

Abstract: The invention provides a device (100, 200, 300, 600) for agitating a liquid, e.g. a milk frother, comprising: a main body (110) comprising an opening (116) adapted to releasably receive an inner container (120), which inner container is suitable for receiving the liquid; an agitation element (136) for agitating the liquid when the liquid is received in the inner container and the inner container is received in the opening of the main body; a driving element (132) for driving the agitation element; and an electrical connection (154, 152, 111) for providing electrical energy to the driving element. By providing an opening for releasably receiving an inner container, a separate container can be used in conjunction with the device. This container is releasable, so it can be put in a dishwashing machine or a sink with water without any risk of damaging the electrical components of the device. In this way, the container can be easily, hygienically and conveniently be cleaned.

Abstract: Methods and devices for frothing milk. The device includes a main body that forms a container for the milk, a cover fitting onto the main body, an agitator for frothing milk and a driver for driving the agitator. The driver is received at least partially in the cover. The driver is provided with a driver electric contact. The main body is provided with an upper main body electric contact and a first recess for receiving at least partially the driver. The first recess and the driver are shaped in such a way that electrical contact between the driver electric contact and the upper main body electric contact automatically is made when the cover is fitted on the main body and the first recess receives at least a part of the driver.

Abstract: Methods and device for frothing milk. The device includes a main body forming a container for the milk, a cover fitting onto the main body, agitation means and drive means for driving the agitation means. The drive means are received at least partially in the cover. The device further includes a base plate provided with a first electric contact. The main body is provided with a second electric contact, which makes electrical contact with the first electric contact when the main body is placed on the base plate. The drive means are provided with a third electric contact. The main body is provided with a fourth electric contact, which makes electrical contact with the third electric contact when the cover is placed on the main body. The main body is provided with an electric conductor which forms an electrical connection between the second electric contact and the fourth electric contact.
