From the Editors

Go ahead, indulge. These thick, tasty drinks will perk you up, ravish your sweet tooth, and whip your taste buds into a frenzy. They can even be made with decaf for those who prefer the taste without the jitter. A Frappe is really any sort of icy, blended drink. It’s usually made with coffee, but there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the ingredients. A Frappe can be wildly imaginative, wonderfully exotic, thoroughly classic, or somewhere in between.

Customer Response

Great Until the plastic bottom chipped.
I love this machine and use it everyday. I bought it in January 2010 after I had purchased one for my son. Yesterday I got up as usual and started my coffee - my husband noticed that the milk etc. was all over the counter. When we turned the machine off and took the container off he noticed that part of the bottom was chipped off in two places. I found the plastic pieces on the counter. This, to say the least was not a good morning without my coffee. My husband being incredibly smart got on line as I was having a melt down. He was able to purchased the blender/container from Mr. Coffee - of course it was a total of $30.00 with shipping. I gave the product 3 stars because of the poor quality - but I do love the machine and hope that they design an upgraded model.

Messy and Leaky
I can manage to make a good frappuccino, but this machine has problems. First of all, before it is all blended and all ice crushed up, it starts spinning in place. Only a little bit on the bottom is being chopped while the rest seperates and sits there doing nothing while the blade is wildly spinning. Thus I have to turn it off, open it and I use a long wooden spoon to push the 3/4 on the top back down. I have to do this many times, so I basically don't let it automatically blend, but push the button myself. I have to put a cover on the hole of the top so liquid doesn't spurt out of it. Even with that, sometimes the ice is shoved to the top with such force a lot of liquid will escape from around the edges of the cap. And this is with the level at the max mark. I don't know if it would do better with less, but that is the amount I like to make. Also, even tho this is just irritating, it does leak from the bottom. Not so much that it is all over the place. But it does dribble off the bottom. I have taken it apart and cleaned it and made sure the rubber ring, which is suppose to prevent leakage, is correctly in place and it still leaks. Since this is the only frappuccino maker I can find, I have learned to get around all the frustrating setbacks, but I do love the end product. I have tried making frappuccinos with my blender and they just don't turn out as well.

Great machine!
This machine is wonderful! So easy to use. Read the directions and you will have no problems. I love the recipe book the comes with it. It has been alot of fun making new drinks and sharing them with others.

Not worth the money
I purchased this as a Christmas present for myself. It worked to an extent but not nearly as well as the reviews had led me to believe. Some reviewers compared it to what you would buy at Starbucks but that is not what I experienced. I was very disappointed in the consistency of the frappe's that I made. Even with experimenting, I was not able to duplicate something that would make me quit buying them elsewhere. To me it wasn't any better than using a regular blender. After it's fifth use, the base of the blending jar cracked. The cheapest replacement was $19.99 plus $9.99 for shipping. I didn't like the appliance enough to invest another $30.00 into it and threw it away. Save your money.

Don't need it
A Magic Bullet and Mocafe is all you need ... and a lot easier to clean up.
