Musso Lussino 4080 Piccolo ice cream maker in stainless steel Made in Italy

Easy to use, just a clockwork timer, and separate buttons for the paddle and freezer. Robust, heirloom quality build. Comes with a simple recipe booklet and you can make a 0.75 litre batch of ice cream in 30 minutes starting from a chilled custard. Easy to see what's happening. You can hear when the batch is ready as the motor has to work harder. The fixed bowl has to be wiped out with warm water...fairly easy. Great machine, I love it!

Great ice cream. We ordered the 4080 model. The company contacted us immediately to inform us that they were out of stock of this model but we could have the larger STELLA model immediately and for the same price as the 4080. Otherwise we could have the 4080 model in about 3 weeks. We agreed to take the larger Stella model. It produces wonderful frozen yoghurt, ice cream, sorbet, gelato. Seems to be well manufactured. We have not had a single issue. We have produced about 20 different batches of ice cream, sorbet, etc. At 30kg the Stella model is heavy and for most kitchens might be a bit bulky but this does not detract from the quality of the product. Given that the company also produces commercial grade ice cream makers I consider this a plus. Have had some friends and family test the final product. We all love high quality sorbet and gelato. Some consider the end result better than some of the gelato we get at ice cream shops around the city. It seems to produce the final product in about 20-25 minutes vs the advertised 30-40 minutes but I think this depends on ambient temperature and original ingredients.

In just 20 minutes you can have an amazing creamy gelato

Very good so far

Having made a variety of different types of ice cream, and sorbets - I have had wonderful results and am delighted that I decided to buy this particular ice cream machine. It looks good, is very well made, simple to use and the price reflects the quality. I wish I had bought this machine years ago ! Really delighted.

Machine arrived promptly. I made my first batch of ice-cream (pistachio) using Musso lussino recipe. Very easy to use and easy to clean. I made just over 1 litre of Ice-cream and it only took 30 mins to churn.

Very expensive for what it does is it the best available probably is my last machine was a quisin art and it was rubbish this does freeze a lot quicker and smoother but is it really worth 700+ probably not

It was a shock to find this has an EU plug and no UK plug. It is way too big and heavy for me to take to a PO.

Nach 5 Monaten Erfahrung: Top-Maschine! Kann alles von einfachem Milch- und Fruchteis über Joghurteis bis zu komplexen Rezepten à la Ben & Jerry’s mit groben Schokoladenstücken, Krokant, Nüssen und/oder Keksen drin. Mit etwas Übung schafft man auch einen Karamell- oder einen Marmeladen-Swirl wie bei Ed von Schleck.Also Geschmack, Cremigkeit und Vielfalt mindestens wie aus der Eisdiele… mit qualitativ hochwertigen Aromen (siehe Movito Eispaste) und etwas weniger Sahne und Zucker als in den üblichen Rezepten angegeben sogar besser.Absolutes Highlight: Die Maschine kann in 5 Minuten wieder blitz blank gereinigt werden.Einziger Gedanke, dem man sich vorher stellen sollte: 750 ml sind für 2 Personen okay. Wir haben jetzt immer 3 Sorten aus Vorrat. Wenn man öfter Gäste oder mehrere Kinder hat bedeuten 750 ml dass man ggf. wöchentlich nachproduziert.

Me llego antes de los esperado y muy bien empacado, tenía mis dudas por las reseñas que pusieron que parecía usada la maquina pero en mi caso llego todo excelente, se ve que es completamente nueva y hasta ahora funciona de maravilla.

parfaite, turbine mécanique, disign sobre, stable, efficace (30 min pour transformer), TRES facile a nettoyer, le top du top. glace maison qui fait fureur et d'un coup on est plus limité en gout saveur texture, c'est la folie à la maison. glace et sorbet .fr ouvre des perspectives étonnantes. le genre de machine qui devient nécessaire à avoir. Aucun regret pour cet achat.

Es una maravilla. No soy un experto en la elaboración de helados como me rima fino que la mayoría de los que estén pensando en comprarse una heladera. Hasta ahora me arreglaba con el accesorio helador de la kitchen aid. Y no tengo queja. Aunque es cierto que tienes que disponer de espacio de sobra en tu congelador para que el accesorio esté en el punto óptimo de temperatura. Sin embargo con la musso no existe ese problema, la enchufad y la dejas enfriar unos 10 minutos antes de verter la base de helado en ella. Y en 20-30 minutos tienes un helado impresionante (fundamental una buena receta claro). Además puedes hacer varias tandas de helado seguidas ya que se limpia fácilmente con una esponja y un poco de agua tibia. No hace casi ruido. Y el helado sale súper cremoso. Para que quede perfecto debes dejarlo unas 4 horas una vez hecho en un recipiente en el congelador. Aunque se puede tomar recién elaborado, con una textura más tipo sundae. Pese al precio merece la pena

Amazon had a sale on this item at considerably less than list price, and I decided to take a flyer and ordered one. I paid a little extra, with Prime, for 1 day delivery, which is probably worth it when dealing with a product like this, because air shipping is probably going to subject an item like this to less potential "in-transit trauma" than going through the truck distribution system. It arrived in fine condition.The item itself looks very presentable and will fit in with a high end kitchen containing stainless steel appliances. From what you can see from the exterior, it appears to be well-built. The "instruction manual" that ships with the product is really not a manual at all; it has a page or two of instructions and the rest of it is a small recipe book. One comment on the recipes given for standard ice cream is that there is no reference to food safety, such as the need to cook the basic custard to a certain temperature to kill potential salmonella that might accompany the raw egg yolks called for in the recipe, so beware; you don't want your purchase of this thing to make you sick. Maybe they don't raise chickens in Italy the way they raise them in the US, so perhaps that was not a concern for whoever made the recipes.I have now made 4 different frozen desserts in the few days I've owned this product; 2 standard flavored ice creams, using the custard base recipe in the enclosed recipe book, plus 2 frozen yogurts from another ice cream book ("The Perfect Scoop"). All have come out very well, and have better textures and more intense flavors than even high end product you can buy in your grocery store. Frozen yogurt is especially easy to make as no cooking of the base is necessary before you put it into the machine.One note on recipes is that when you start using consumer recipes in books aimed at the general public, these recipes generally assume that you are using a much lesser device, often one without a self-contained refrigerated chiller, and as a result they can call for taking the base and chilling it in the fridge for an hour before putting the contents into the ice cream maker. With this Lello machine, you don't really have to do that, you can just plunk the base right into the maker and turn it on; the machine will do the rest and it can deal with ingredients that are room temperature rather than pre-chilled. I would not, however, put a hot 170F degree base into the machine without letting it cool down to room temperature, even if the machine could overcome that.The purchaser needs to consider that there is no way he or she will ever amortize the cost of this appliance, because the ingredients needed to make a high end frozen dessert are expensive, and likely will add up to what you would pay for a premium frozen dessert in the grocery store. If the goal is to make a cheap dessert, I can assure you that a little searching at your local market will lead you to much cheaper product than you can make for yourself. Therefore, the only reason to go to the effort to make your own frozen desserts is that you value freshness and control over the ingredients used that can only come with something you made for yourself. Even if you have a large family to feed, this machine is not going to save you any money, no matter how many batches you make per day or per week. There is no economy of scale here, unless maybe you have your own dairy cow out in the back yard.My only reservation about this machine is that I do not think that they are really designed to be repaired, and I do not know how long you can expect them to operate before they end up in the dump. If I had paid $700 for this machine, then I would be very upset if I only got a couple of years of use out of it, however having gotten the product at a reduced price, I'm willing to take that risk. Everything I have read about machines in this class leads me to believe that unless you don't use it often, a lifespan of 5 years would be unduly optimistic. I have friends who have owned several similar machines in this price range and who stopped buying them after they came to the conclusion that none of them will last more than a few years and that none of them can be economically repaired. The manufacturer of this machine has only a very token presence in the USA, through a distributor, and I have read "uncharitable" comments about them when it comes to repairs, albeit of different models than this one. So my advice would be not to buy this thing if you are expecting it to last for 10 or even 5 years, no matter how durable it might appear on cursory inspection. I would strongly suggest buying it with a credit card that will double the manufacturer's warranty such as a Visa Signature card, and then to register the purchase immediately with the respective "warranty manager-type" service, to be sure that you will get at least 2 years use out of it for your several hundred dollars.With this caveat, I do recommend this item for purchase, and if it continues to work for me in the way it has worked so far, I will be very happy that I bought it.
