I love coffee and I have plenty of experience making different kinds and I thought of this as a nice tool to have for creating different kinds of coffee. It’s easy to use and clearly labeled for those who are intimidated by new alliances. Literally everything is labeled from the pitcher, to the sticker on top of the machine to the included measuring spoon. It’s brews fairly quick enough and allows me to brew at different temperatures depending on iced coffee or hot coffee. The pitcher then goes onto the included blender and the button to blend with keep going for awhile until all of the ice is chopped. I’m very happy with the consistency it provided. The large double insulted tumbler is great to have as well. They've literally included everything to do the job and kept it all labeled with clear instructions. I would recommend this for the transparency in directions, ease of use and how well my frappe turned out.
