Bonnie Coleman at the Shoreline Coffee Shop in Mill Valley, California makes the best milkshakes I’ve ever encountered. The secret, she insists, is top quality ice cream and a special two-step mixing technique. Although Bonnie agrees that a blender can produce a satisfying shake, she prefers to use a small home milkshake machine. You can find one wherever small appliances are sold.
