Ein US-Amerikaner im eidgenössischen Dienst

In der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre entschied sich die eidgenössische, staatliche Post zum Ankauf von neuen Fahrzeugen und erwarb FC-150 Kleinlaster aus der Fertigung des US-Herstellers Willys Motor Company, besser bekannt unter dem Label Jeep.

Als Grund für die Wahl der FC-150 Modelle dürfte höchstwahrscheinlich der Allradantrieb ein wichtiges Kaufargument dargestellt haben. Allrad getriebene Fahrzeuge kamen traditionsgemäß für den Postzustelldienst in den Bergregionen der Eidgenossen großflächig zum Einsatz. Doch nicht nur der Vierrad-Antrieb, sondern auch der kurze Radstand, der eine sehr hohe Wendigkeit auf den Alpenstraßen zuließ, passte gut in das Profil der Schweizer Post.

Es ist auch heute noch gut nachvollziehbar, wie beschwerlich das Verteilen der Postsendungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren in der Alpenregion war. Mag dies in der kurzen Sommerzeit noch einigermaßen problemlos möglich gewesen sein, so dürfte in den Wintermonaten gerade der Allradantrieb in Verbindung mit dem kurzen Radstand des Lastwagens den Arbeitsalltag erheblich erleichtert haben.

Höchstwahrscheinlich wurde der Jeep FC-150 lediglich mit Führerhaus und ohne Heckaufbau gekauft. Die Schweizer Post entschied sich für einen geschlossenen Kastenaufbau, bei dem das Führerhaus vollkommen integriert wurde. Für große Gepäckstücke bekam der FC-150 - wie nahezu alle posteigenen Fahrzeuge - einen großen Dachständer auf einen Großteil des Dachs montiert. Lackiert in den typischen drei Farben der PTT, gelb und silber, getrennt durch einen schwarzen Strich, avancierte der FC-150 ab der zweiten Hälfte der 1950er Jahre bis in die 1970er Jahre zum vertrauten Bild in den Alpen.

Un Américain pour les facteurs suisses

Dans la seconde moitié des années 1950, la Poste Suisse décide d'acheter de nouveaux véhicules et acquiert des petits camions Type FC-150 issus de la production du constructeur américain « Willys Motor Company », plus connu sous la marque « Jeep ».

Sa transmission intégrale a probablement été un argument d'achat important. Les véhicules à traction intégrale étaient traditionnellement utilisés pour le service postal dans les régions montagneuses suisses. Non seulement les 4 roues motrices, mais aussi l'empattement court permettaient une très bonne maniabilité sur les routes alpines, mais également répondaient tout à fait aux attentes de la Poste Suisse.

On comprend encore combien il était difficile de distribuer le courrier dans cette région alpine entre 1950 et 1960. Surtout en hiver !  C’est à cette période que la transmission intégrale associée à l'empattement court du camion facilitait grandement le travail quotidien des facteurs.

Ce Jeep FC-150 a été commandé avec une cabine sans la carrosserie arrière. La Poste Suisse a opté pour une structure en caisson fermé dans laquelle la cabine du conducteur était entièrement intégrée. Pour les colis (gros comme petits), le FC-150 - comme presque tous les véhicules postaux – était équipé d’une grande galerie de toit. Peint aux trois couleurs typiques des "PTT" (Agence Suisse Poste Télégraphe et Téléphone); jaune et argent que séparait une ligne noire, le FC-150 est devenu une image familière des Alpes suisses de la seconde moitié des années 1950 aux années 1970.

Nice shape, highly polished, 200ml, 5+ stars.
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
Very nice, highly polished with the feel of quality for the price. I'm very much an amateur barista. A trip to Italy inspired me to buy an espresso machine. I gained a whole new respect for coffee in Europe. The pitcher with my machine was too big to copy the Euro style cafe. Small quantities of milk were too shallow to froth properly even when tilting. The barista I watched in Italy was using a small pitcher so I decided to buy the 200ml version. It's a perfect size allowing a small amount of milk to be deep enough to froth. I brought back some roasted Italian coffee beans back to USA and wow! I'm very much a beginner but having fun.

Still The Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
I love how it is easy to use, how it holds a charge, and how much power it has. I've only charged it once since I got it & I've been using it on a daily basis!!! Though it isn't a long time, I'm happy with it so far! I definitely will recommend it to anyone looking for a great frother. If you are looking for one, look no further! You won't be disappointed! I've read some comments where they found it to be too strong that their drink spilled everywhere. But for me I have not had any incident of spilling over. I have used it both for my coffee and my matcha tea and it worked great without any spilling over. You just have to start with the lowest power and ensure that you have a large enough container to have a room for your frothing. My sister tried to use it recently during her visit to make us matcha tea. However, she experienced spillage all over the cup, because she had used a small cup. Otherwise, she liked it very much and said she will get one when her battery operated one stops working... Another thing I like about the product was the customer service that I had received. When I got my first order which came quickly, it wasn't working after having charged it over 24 hours. It was not turning on at all. I returned it and ordered a replacement which I received within a day or two. This time after charging it for the recommended amount of time, I was a bit skeptical when I turned it on. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked like it was supposed to and it has been working ever since having charged it only once so far. I may come back and give an update depending on how it does after 6 months of use, so keep in tune... I don't know if there is a way to write a new entry as a follow up to the old entry, so I'm going to add my follow up comment over here. May 23, 2025 - I love my frother more than I can say in words. It's functionality has not changed a bit from the time I have purchased it. It charge lasts several weeks to few months before I charge it again and the power is still the same. Recently I decided to buy another one for my office use. I like the white color and so tried it but that one wouldn't even turn on. And then I got a gray one to have a different color. That one was much weaker than the black one I own. Then I replaced it with another gray one within few days. I tried it and it was exactly the same as the one I already replaced. So then I decided to go with a black one again hoping that it would be the same as the one I have. The black one did much better than the gray ones in the strength or power of the frother. However, it is weaker than the one I already have been using since last August. While I am not very happy with the quality being inconsistent in all of the ones I have tried including the recent pictures of the black one, I have decided to keep the black one because it is relatively better than the gray ones I tried. What I don't understand is why there is inconsistency in the quality of the same product by the same maker. I am beginning to wonder if the black one I purchased in Augusta last year was anomaly of a quality and a good way. Maybe I lucked out on my older black frother, but I'm unsure if quality is going to get better if I were to order another one. I have a sister who is a pro in making coffee drinks and she was the reason I had ordered this frother to begin with. She uses a battery operated one at this time and I have been thinking about getting her one like mine. While I am still skeptical, I am going to give it a shot and order her one sometime soon. If it doesn't work, I guess we will return it back. But one thing that I am grateful is that I have been able to return every one of those that I have tried recently with no issues. I hope that I don't have to return my most recent purchase in black. I was not even able to review the new purchase because of the item being the same color which is crazy.

Outstanding Frother!
Color: Space Gray
Exceptional! This frother is in another league compared to the cheapo push button frothers. The motor is smooth, quiet and powerful. This has an intuitive thumb dial on top that operates smoothly with a wide range of smooth speed adjustment. It’s gentle enough to froth a little bit of milk for a macchiato and powerful enough to scramble 3 eggs. The head is removable for easy cleaning. It’s also rechargeable. I charged this the day I bought it on April first. I use it at least twice a day. It’s September 26th today and I have yet to recharge it and it’s not showing any signs of needing a charge. One minor quibble is that they give you 2 of the same frother heads. They are built so well, that I don’t imagine it ever wearing out. It would have been nice to get a whisk or something different. Not a deal breaker at all though.

Solid unit
Color: Black
Handheld Mixer/Frother Review A Premium Choice That Transforms Morning Coffee I am thoroughly impressed with this handheld mixer and frother. Each morning, I blend cacao and collagen powder into my coffee, and in the past, I always ended up with stubborn lumps using only a spoon or whisk. I had previously purchased a few inexpensive handheld mixers, but they disappointed me both in price and performance, struggling to mix the powders thoroughly—especially at the bottom of the cup. I came close to abandoning handheld mixers altogether, but decided to give it one last try. After reading countless reviews and carefully comparing models, I opted to invest in a higher-end handheld mixer. The anticipation was high—would this mixer truly distinguish itself from the budget options cluttering my kitchen drawer? From the moment I unboxed it, the difference was clear. The mixer felt substantial in my hand, and the build quality reflected thoughtful engineering. While this model cost roughly twice as much as the cheaper alternatives, it proved to be well worth the investment. Initially, I was concerned about the dial at the top, fearing it might be difficult to control. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its intuitive operation. The unit offers a solid feel, plenty of power, and a versatile range of speeds—from a gentle stir perfect for coffee to an impressively fast setting. I had not previously considered using this mixer as a frother, but as a cappuccino enthusiast, I decided to give it a try. I heated both 2% milk and oat milk to take the chill off, then submerged the mixing wand. Allowing the mixer to rise above the milk introduced air and created a rich, creamy foam—an unbelievable result. My homemade cappuccino now tastes like something from a café. The controls are robust, the construction is reliable, and the power is consistent. Cleanup is effortless, requiring only a quick rinse under the tap. The battery life is also noteworthy, lasting through several uses without losing strength. If you are hesitant to spend a bit more on a quality handheld mixer, I wholeheartedly recommend making the investment. This mixer has become an essential part of my morning routine. Excellent product—well done!
