An apparatus for agitating liquid foodstuff, comprising: - a whisk, including: - a liquid foodstuff agitator; - a rotor of an electromotor assembly, wherein the rotor is connected to the liquid foodstuff agitator, and includes at least one rotor magnet; - a main body, including: - a liquid foodstuff container, configured to at least partially receive the whisk such that the whisk is rotatable around a rotation axis thereof; - a stator of the electromotor assembly, said stator being configured to electromagnetically drive the rotor in rotation, characterized by including at least one magnetic sensor configured to provide a signal that reflects positional changes of the at least one rotor magnet relative to the magnetic sensor; and - a controller, operably connected to the stator of the electromotor assembly, and configured - to detect an initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk around its rotation axis from the signal of the magnetic sensor; and - once the initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk is detected, to operate the apparatus in dependence of said initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk. - a whisk, including: - a liquid foodstuff agitator; - a rotor of an electromotor assembly, wherein the rotor is connected to the liquid foodstuff agitator, and includes at least one rotor magnet; - a liquid foodstuff agitator; - a rotor of an electromotor assembly, wherein the rotor is connected to the liquid foodstuff agitator, and includes at least one rotor magnet; - a main body, including: - a liquid foodstuff container, configured to at least partially receive the whisk such that the whisk is rotatable around a rotation axis thereof; - a stator of the electromotor assembly, said stator being configured to electromagnetically drive the rotor in rotation, characterized by including at least one magnetic sensor configured to provide a signal that reflects positional changes of the at least one rotor magnet relative to the magnetic sensor; and - a controller, operably connected to the stator of the electromotor assembly, and configured - to detect an initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk around its rotation axis from the signal of the magnetic sensor; and - once the initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk is detected, to operate the apparatus in dependence of said initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk. - a liquid foodstuff container, configured to at least partially receive the whisk such that the whisk is rotatable around a rotation axis thereof; - a stator of the electromotor assembly, said stator being configured to electromagnetically drive the rotor in rotation, characterized by including at least one magnetic sensor configured to provide a signal that reflects positional changes of the at least one rotor magnet relative to the magnetic sensor; and - a controller, operably connected to the stator of the electromotor assembly, and configured - to detect an initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk around its rotation axis from the signal of the magnetic sensor; and - once the initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk is detected, to operate the apparatus in dependence of said initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk. - to detect an initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk around its rotation axis from the signal of the magnetic sensor; and - once the initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk is detected, to operate the apparatus in dependence of said initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk.
