Can it make ice beverages?

It certainly couldn't crush ice or anything like that. I guess it would aerate cold beverages, but on the other hand, it heats at the same time as it froths, so I would say no, it can't make ice beverages.

It can mix cold beverages and has a temperature gauge for adjustments in drink temperature preference. Although the milk does not come out as frothy on the cold setting, it does aerate and add some froth on the cold setting. I typically prefer skim milk, so I am not sure whether other varieties would offer you different consistencies. I would not put any actual ice in the machine, although, presumably you could pour your beverage over ice. I primarily use the hot function to make lattes and at times, hot chocolate using powdered mixes.

It has a "cold stir" setting. Instruction book says that setting "allows you to stir already cold or hot milk without additional heat". I think if you tried to put ice into the mixing jug you'd probably break the machine. And it doesn't chill any ingredients. But if you operated the unit on the cold setting, your cold ingredients should come out about as cold as when you put them in. The cold setting operates for 60 seconds, and you have the option of re-selecting the cold stir setting for another 60 seconds if you need to.

Nope. In fact, I have found that if the liquid is too cold, it won't even stir the ingredients.

It only cold stirs for a 60 second time. Frothing takes place by heating the dairy product. Ice could certainly be added to the final product in the glass, however, you certainly defeated the entire purpose of frothing since that actually involves heat.

The temperature is adjustable from a cold stir up to 160 degrees plus. I don't know how much froth you'd get if you used the cold setting but it wouldn't heat the milk.

This frother is designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and other dairy alternatives and is not intended to whip, thicken or heat other foods such as oil, eggs, butter, heavy whipping cream, soups or gravies. It is also not designed to mix or melt a large quantity of dry ingredients such as cubed chocolate or ice cubes. You can use the "cold stir" setting to make froth for a cold beverage such as an Iced Coffee or an Iced Chocolate.

It has a non heat setting, which usually works, but I don't think you can add ice.

I would think carbonated water would increase the problems that already exist with this machine. It makes ice....slowly...but water continues to drip everywhere all over the ice after it's made.

I seriously doubt it. The spigot is not that durable and I don't think it would last very long, we didn't get much use out of ours with just ice tea and fruit water.

It does make super fine ice. It's really nice. My only complaint is the water drainage is a little lacking but if you prop up the internal tray just a bit it drains well. Hope this helps!

I don't see why not. Just like regular iced tea, you may want to brew it stronger to make up for the ice melting.

Not that I am aware of. It should make ice until you manually cut it off by pushing the arm all the way up until it locks in place.

I don't think it brews iced coffee as far as I know. But it does make great lattes!

this thing might be able to do it. i never put ice in it but i have put peppercorns in it and it obliterated them!!

Yes! Small freezer to make ice. Freezer does have to be defrosted too! Sorry answer so late in being sent.

Yes you can make ice cream with it, I had no problem making ice cream with mine, but you have to remember that you need to put a bit of liquid as well. You can watch some you tube videos about making ice cream with a blender. Thank you

Yes, but it'd be an expensive ice tray. I would rather use it to freeze lemon juice or something that would require a lid, but it can also make regular ice cubes.

I never did, but the fact that it locks liquids in probably would work. I Don't think I would use ice though.

No it can't blend ice this mixer is meant for liquids only protein powders etc

Yes, can make sun tea or use Lipton's cold brew...would not put extremely hot liquid in it

It can use that type of ice, I've used ice cubes from my refrigerator and it worked just as good as with the molded ice. Although, since it's several different pieces the top part will move around a lot so make sure you press down and hold it in place and it won't move much. Other than that little detail, "ice cubes" will work.

It could be used that way, but it would not hold a lot with ice and it runs the risk of leaking, as other users have mentioned. I have not had any leaking issues though!

Yes, it can! Awesome fridge and has been used at many camping trips!Keeps our items cold without ice.
