Immersion blenders

Has anyone found a good cordless one? How are they to clean? I'm thinking of getting one almost exclusively for BPC, do you really just blend directly in your mug?

    I dont know about cordless but we got a cheap $15 off amazon that broke the first day. Then we got a $50 Kitchenaid one for $30 at costco and that thing is a workhorse! We love it. We make mayo and mustard with it but it mostly gets used for BPC.

    I use a quart widemouth canning jar to mix my coffee in. It is tall and thin, just enough for the immersion blender to fit and easy to clean. But then again, when i make BPC it is for 3 people so a canning jar might be over kill for one person...maybe, it is BPC after all :D

    As far as cleaning, really easy on the one we have. The attachments pop off so you can clean them separately but if you are getting an all-in-one just immersion blender then just put it in the warm soapy water and turn on for a few seconds and it comes clean. Wipe the outside down a little and done.

    I have a Hamilton Beach that generally has done pretty well, but the low gear died last time I used it and the middle fills with water when I wash it, so the part that doesn't touch food is rusty.. I'm considering splurging on a Cuisinart one.

    There is a good battery operated "frother" on amazon someone posted that they said works great for BPC. I don't have an immersion blender at all anymore, and when I did, I just had a cheap one. To clean, I just ran a cup of hot water, a couple drops of soap, then blended the hot soap water, rinse, and set on the towel to dry. I can't imagine any others being that difficult. I want to get a stick but the thought of a rechargeable one is intriguing. Gonna go look again!

    I use my Braun immersion for foodstuffs, and I use the "frother" that Knit referred to for my BPC (I actually have two, one for work one for home). I don't think I paid more than $10 or $12 each for them. Mine are battery operated...in retrospect, I should've sprung for the rechargeables because I've gone through some AAA batteries! lol I've heard good things about the Aerolatte frother...around $20 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

    I've got an ancient Moulinex immersion blender that I've had since 1985 and it's still going strong 30 yrs later. It's got a cord of course. But it works very well.

    I use a 5$ battery powered milk frother to blend coconut oil into my coffee.

    Whenever I tried to use a blender, my coffee spilled everywhere, so now I just stir it by hand. Not frothy, but still good. ;)
