Milkshake Mixers & Machines FAQs

What’s the difference between a milkshake mixer and a milkshake machine?

A milkshake mixer (often spindle-style) blends made-to-order drinks quickly and suits coffee shops and smaller counters. A milkshake machine is typically built for higher volume and faster throughput, helping busy sites keep results consistent.

Which commercial milkshake machine is best for a coffee shop?

If you’re making shakes to order, a compact spindle mixer is usually the best starting point. For busy sites with frequent shake orders, consider a higher-output commercial milkshake machine designed for speed and repeatability.

Can I use a milkshake maker for frappes and dessert drinks?

Yes - many milkshake makers can handle thick shakes, frappes and dessert-style drinks. Add toppings and takeaway cups to build premium drinks that sell well.

How do I reduce waste and keep drinks consistent?

Standardise your recipe (scoop size, milk volume and blend time) and train staff to follow it. Consistent portioning and repeatable mixing reduces waste and keeps every drink tasting the same.

What else do I need to start selling milkshakes?

At minimum you’ll need a mixer/machine, milkshake powder and serving cups. For the fastest launch, use a starter kit or bundle, then expand your menu with extra flavours and toppings.
