From coffee enthusiasts yearning for barista-quality mugs in their kitchens to latte art lovers, the new DREO BaristaMaker promises to transform your home coffee experience. Set to hit Kickstarter for purchases starting August 13, this smart milk frother is engineered to produce professional-grade froth capable of crafting intricate latte art.

The BaristaMaker integrates a series of innovative technologies and features specifically tailored to elevate the art of coffee-making at home. With its patented Impeller Combo Design and Micro-Level Screen, it ensures a precise milk flow and transforms ordinary bubbles into dense, rich microfoam. For those preferring plant-based options, the BaristaMaker offers an algorithm tuned to handle different milk types without compromising foam quality. Not fancying a cup of Joe? Set the machine's settings to froth matcha, hot chocolate, and more instead.

Designed with the user in mind, the frother doubles as a professional stainless-steel pitcher post-frothing, complete with a specifically designed spout and handle for executing perfect latte art. In fact, it looks brilliant, and is something I'd definitely want sat on my shelves above my kitchen worksurface. And thanks to the fact that the top is removable from what I assume is the heated and powered base, it's dishwasher-safe, solving the age-old dilemma of scrubbing burnt milk manually from the bottom of your device.

Highlighting the product's market entry was a pre-launch showcase on July 16 in New York City. The event drew coffee experts and media personalities who tested the BaristaMaker, solidifying its anticipated success with positive reviews.

Of particular note are endorsements from notable figures in the coffee industry such as Michael Jasin, Anthony Douglas, and Dale Harris—all former World Barista Champions. Their backing, especially a glowing review from Anthony Douglas:

"If I'm focusing purely on the quality that I get from BaristaMaker it would have to be a 10 out of 10. It's the best milk I've experienced and it'd be pretty hard to top."

Kickstarter early adopters benefit from a Super Early Bird offer, discounting the retail price of $99 by up to 30%. Additional perks include a $3,200 grand prize and a $15 launch sign-up discount redeemable on DREO's website. Post-Kickstarter, the BaristaMaker will continue to be available at its full price on dreo.com and select retailers from September 15.

Joshua Gunn, DREO’s VP of North America, said the following:

"It is an invitation to elevate your coffee-making experience and bring the art of perfectly frothed milk to the consumer. We believe that great-frothed milk should be accessible to everyone and BaristaMaker is our way of making that possible. In the future, DREO will continue to invest in and develop new technology within the coffee category and revolutionize the home beverage experience."
