The coffee machine is same old and I love it but let’s talk about the blender part. It’s genius and amazingggg. It blends ice so well, felt like I’m drinking frappe straight out of Cinnabon (sorry Starbucks, their frappes rule) lol. It came with a booklet full of recipes. The machine is pretty easy to use and straightforward. Just put all the ingredients first and then put the syrup through the small top. The built in feature is super cool and mess free!!!
