No 07
The CREAMi works backwards from every other ice cream maker: you freeze the pint first, solid, for 24 hours, then the machine shaves it down into ice cream, gelato, sorbet, milkshake or a smoothie bowl. That is why it can turn a pint of protein shake, cottage cheese or frozen mango into something that scoops like the real thing.
It suits the household that is already making it from scratch, the gym person who wants dessert that fits the macros, and a couple who will fight over the last pint. It is the wedding gift that gets talked about at the next dinner.
The NC301 comes with two pint containers with lids and seven programs. The spin is loud for about a minute and the pints take a full day to freeze, so the habit is keeping two or three ready. The price is real, and the people who own one use it most nights.
