This is the container I keep on my machine. Every morning I fill it with distilled water to the top of the lines, add 1 lemon cut in slices and process this for 1 minute, then strain it into water bottles to bring to work: SO much easier than juicing lemon and adding zest as the muddling extracts the oils. I drink this daily to keep my body alkaline, and have not had a viral infection in three years. 
   I have made white sauce: so glossy and white! My husband loves his coffee and cream whipped up in here. It is even easier to make whipped cream in here than thawing out Cool Whip, not to mention flavoring it any way your fancy takes you. 
   Did I NEED to buy this? No, but am I glad I bought it, YES!
