Still loving the gelato maker. I can't bring myself to buy mass produced ice cream. As a matter of fact, I am making more vanilla crema, berry, and coffeeto restock my freezers. I need to figure out how to make pistachio for my wife. Did I say I love this machine a few times ;)
I've made the crema vanilla, dairy vanilla, berry with blackberry and raspberry, coffee, and pumpkin. The coffee is all of the grownups favorite, mine too. I always strain the mixes a couple of times before freezing. Better consistency then. Also, temper any egg mixture by putting the hot into the bowl with the eggs a little at a time, then move it all to the stove. I am extremely satisfied with the machine though. -D
Well, it has been a couple of months that I have had the machine. It does everything that the glossy says it does. The machine is a little bit loud. I get around that by putting it in another room if we have company. I did try to put it in the garage at a friends house and saw a small issue not wanting to freeze so you need to be aware of the ambient temperature. When using the recipes that came with the machine I always made double. This would give you roughly 4 cups of "mix".
Is the machine noisy? I have a cuisineart but its super noisy and gives out an unpleseant motor smell when churning, so i never use it indoors. If this is better, i'd sell my cuisineart away for this =)
@MightyRoy - the De'Longhi gelato machine is in fact less noisy than the Cuisinart ice cream maker. Our machine runs at 70 decibels, the equivalent to conversation in a restaurant, whereas the Cuisinart machine runs at 75 decibels, the equivalent to a garbage disposal. The motor on the De'Longhi gelato maker is contained within the unit, so it does not give off any unpleasant odors. Please let me know if I can answer anymore questions.
prowlman: there is an hermetic seal on the lid, so you cannot blend air into the mix. however, you can substitute cream for the milk; the taste will be similar to ice cream, but the consistency will be creamier like gelato.
I have just bought one of these and am going to try it this evening. I would really like to be able to get some air into this so I can make traditional ice cream. Any ideas of how I should go about doing this?
I just bought one from sears.com so I hope it's a good ice cream maker. All the reviews on amazon.com and other searching seemed to indicated it was a good one.
Also, you say the Cuisinart machine runs at 75 decibels, can you confirm which Cuisinart this ice cream maker is please. Thank you

Is this the same model as the De'Longhi ICK6000 Ice Cream Maker sold in the UK? (looks identical and both say Gelato on them)? Many Thanks

How does this machine compare to the Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker?
They are both comparative in price, however I have never used one before so I can't decide between the two

It looks pretty soupy when it is being scooped out of the machine. Does it thicken if you leave it in longer, or is that as good as it gets??

@prowlman
How is your machine working?
Please post your own experience. Did you make ice cream with it? Does it work to make ice cream ?
Is the plastic churner kind of flimsy? I would have liked that to be made of stainless steel too.
