DREO BaristaMaker Air — DREO / DREO

DREO’s newest release to their BaristaMaker collection, the BaristaMaker Air, makes milk frothing at home easier than ever. With 8-in-1 versatility, this sleek and efficient milk frother can easily froth dairy and plant-based milk to make any café-style coffee drink imaginable. From cappuccinos to macchiatos, the BaristaMaker Air uses AeroSilk™ Technology to create an ultra-fine microform like your favorite coffee shop. This new launch joins DREO’s other leading coffee tools, designed to elevate your home coffee bar.

Using a patented Impeller Tip Max impeller blade, the BaristaMaker Air can cut large bubbles into a silky microform that is only 0.5 mm fine (just half the regular size). Meanwhile, the anti-burn propeller prevents overheating and ensures a rich froth without scorching your milk. The device’s multi-stage frothing program is designed to expertly control temperature, time, and speed for the smoothest possible froth. Just a few uses and you’ll wonder how you lived without this sleek and innovative milk frother.

The intuitive touchscreen display allows at-home baristas to switch between symbols to change frothing modes. Modes include options for dairy and non-dairy milk, giving you the flexibility to change your coffee routine without purchasing a new device.

The DREO BaristaMaker Air also makes cleaning up after making coffee easy. The device features a water-based, non-stick coating that allows quick cleaning with water, preventing clumping and scorching. Plus, this milk frother’s compact and sleek design is perfect for even the tightest of kitchen coffee bar areas. The DREO BaristaMaker Air is available at select retailers and online on Amazon.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

Vodka

I’ve been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I’ve learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka –this is especially true when both are unaged. In appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. The same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff, the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.

That also means you have to spend significantly more time with people. And, if you are like me, most of these parties get a little too peopley for me, causing me to need a bit of liquid social lubricant. Whether you are like me, or you know someone like me, spirits are a great way to show someone in your life you care. So, here are our favorite gifts for the man in your life with spirit.
