The invention relates to a mixing device with an input container that is
configured for receiving a product that includes a fluid component and a
second component. A whipper with a conical whipper surface has an axis is
configured for aerating and frothing the product. The whipper surface
extends between first and second end portions, with the first end portion
having a smaller diameter than the second end portion. The whipper
surface is preferably oriented at a surface angle to the axis of about
between 5.degree. and 65.degree.. A motor is in driving association with
the whipper for rotating the whipper about the axis at a speed sufficient
for aerating and frothing the product. A product exit conduit is disposed
downstream of the whipper and is configured for dispensing the product of
the fluid and second components.
