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.

This is really a great product. It has save me hundreds of dollars (over time) in not having to buy Frappes from the coffee store. It is also fun to make up new combinations of drinks, not only Frappes but other blended drinks that use coffee. For instance I love a milk shake type mixture that also includes coffee (i.e. not using ice but just ice cream, flavoring and milk). The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the blending process does not break up the ice real well. I usually have to wait until the regular process ends then take the container off the base - shake it up - put it back and use the blender button. I usually have to do this several times in order to get the ice to get broken up enough. Otherwise it is a great product.

My wife and I use this every... single... day! It's very easy to use and we love the ability to put the ingredients in the cafe frappe and then walk away while it does its thing. It is also a perfect way to make great tasting protein drinks in the morning. Put in the coffee, add some fresh fruit to the ice and add your protein powder for a big-time easy breakfast replacement/supplement. For the first time, we don't taste the powder.
The only con is if you add a bit too much ice and milk/water/etc., it can have a tendency to spurt some of the excess liquid out of the small hole in the lid. It doesn't make a huge mess, but it can come out when the blender pulses. Either tinker with the amount of ice and liquid to get the right amount or just slide a napkin over the top of the hole in the lid after the coffee has finished dripping into the blender. Problem solved.
Love this unit!

I thought this machine would be a godsend as I was spending a fortune at starbucks so i was thrilled,after dropping hints, to receive one for my birthday.
I read thru the set up instructions and waited with baited breath. My better half had even built a special shelf for it as i did not want it taking up any of my precious counter top space. I loaded it with ingredients and turned it on .
How quiet it was, for the first few minutes barely a sound. THEN! OMG!! the blending cycle kicked in, it sounded like a lawn mower with several rocks caught up in it and what was that terrible high pitched screaming ???
I have blenders that are ice crushers so i know what that sound is, but this thing was twice the volume of my cuisinart blender. The high pitched screaming was Simone my Lhasa apso who is absolutely petrified by the sound of this machine, Her hang out spot in the kitchen is next to the washing machine so she is not adverse to appliance noise or vibration and I thought maybe with time she would acclimate but no she was having none of it .I have to say it made me jump out of my skin a couple of times when it switched to the second cycle also.
Now back to the results it did an OK job , but its a pity half of it gets sprayed around onto the machine and anything else surrounding it. After mopping up I served up the concoction which was delicious Kind of an annoying amount not quite enough for two servings but delicious never the less. I gave Simone a mild sedative and threw away several coffee soaked rags. I read through the instructions again assuming it must have been a stupid error on my part.
.Episode 2 produced similar results and a very perturbed canine,then I had an epiphany,I decided to move the machine to our ground floor cloakroom to avoid the shank eye simone had been throwing my way all day, I also draped tea towels over the machine so it could not spray out this time . I set it up next to the sink and plugged it in. For some reason that cloakroom has very good soundproofing,for which I'm sure my pet was eternally grateful . I turned it on and closed the door and went about some other tasks before remembering that I should go back and see if third time was a charm.
I could not believe my eyes, the machine lay on its side in the sink the jug empty on the floor the mirror, the sink,the vanity , the walls - all four , the sets of hand towels the beautiful designer rug and the benchseat and the two tea towels i had used as a splash guard all saturated with frappa mix!!!!!! one hours cleanup later and with not a dissenting voice in the house we decided it had outstayed its welcome and it was promptly returned to Walmart. i did in fact try it several more times and although we had no more roll overs it still sprayed out way to much . A poorly constructed machine not sufficiently weighted to balance the ice crushing process, poorly designed jug, etc etc. as someone else already said use your blender instead.Very disappointing, not recommended unless you are a hard of hearing heir to a papertowel fortune!!!Simone gave it zero paws and has taken out a restraining order against this model.

Beware, the blender frightens you upon first using it as it starts up immediately upon completion of the brewing. I agree with most of the 4 & 5 star reviews. The only think I'd like to add is that it does well with the MOCAFE mixes suggested by amazon. But watch those calories. I suggest substituting a little to save on the calorie/fat content.

I love this machine! It is so easy to make delicious iced coffee drinks at home. It is a little loud when grinding the ice but everything else makes up for it.
