At-Home Ice Cream Machines

There’s a wide range of ice cream machines in the market. They can range anywhere from $99 to $20,000 without sounding dramatic.

If you’re just getting into ice cream making or simply need a machine for fun or recipe testing, we recommend sticking to the range below.

The thing with ice cream is, that a large part of the making process depends on the efficiency of the machine. The longer the machine takes to churn, the more prone to ice crystals the ice cream is. The faster the machine freezes the product, the smoother of a product that you can have.

Think about hand-churning a machine in a bucket with ice versus pressing a button and having a built-in compressor do the work. Option A might take 45mins and Option B might take 20mins. That difference will give two totally different products.

Like anything else, if you want to start your ice cream journey, invest in something that’s going to last.
