I used this to make hot chocolate and iced tea and it was really great for me because I feel like I am saving money by not buying it from a store and I won't make too much and end up throwing it away. It was very easy to set up and use which was something I was a little nervous about initially (I figured I would mess it up). The only con about this product is that it took me a couple of tries to get my ideal water to product ratio. I used too much one time and my hot chocolate was a little watery, but with a little experimenting I got it perfect.
