We've (2 of us) had this for a few years now, and we use it almost daily, mostly for smoothies, but sometimes for sauces and soups. I'm about to try and grind coffee with it as I cannot find my grinder and bot whole beans. Expensive yes, but all those green smoothies have been so healthy and delicious. Sometimes that is all I'll eat for lunch/breakfast: quick, delicious, healthy. Can't beat that! You deserve it too! Nice size for two people.
