I literally stop by a certain fast food place every single day to get a frappe. A lot of times I am told they are unable to make them and its quite annoying wasting a trip there for nothing. I got excited seeing there was a machine to make your own frappe. Not only does this save me a drive into down to be let down often, it saves me gas, time and money being able to make em at home. I like that it comes with a tumbler style cup as well. It is easy to use and the instructions are pretty clear. I've been looking up different drinks to make with it. So far I have stuck with frappe style drinks but you don't have to just make frappes.
