Very cool machine and I have a Nespresso machine. Quite original. Having a blender is quite uncommon. I tried making an ice coffee and a hot coffee. I was able to personalize my ice coffee with chocolate syrup. Nice texture. I didn't blend much because I wanted a texture in between liquid and slushy. It's thoughtful that you get a different button for coffee for when you want a hot coffee and another for ice so it doesn't splash and the flow is much slower and smooth. The plus : it comes with 2 lovely tumblers!
