This ice cream maker is just right for a single serving. It is also easy to use. I love the color! The design is okay, but it could use some improvements. For example, the box says this is a pint, but the instructions say not to exceed 1 cup of liquid. The mug also takes 24 hours to freeze, which makes it hard to use frequently. It made my ice cream but left a thin layer inside the ice cream maker. It was fun to enjoy a homemade treat, and it was not noisy! This ice cream maker is fun to use, though if I were to use it more frequently, I would find something with more functions.
