- From the fridge, choose a special cup filled with frozen ingredients (mixtures of various fruits are available, such as strawberry, banana, mango or blueberry).
- After paying the fee (the price is PLN 7.99, it includes both the insert and the mixing service), the lid is removed from the cup and it is placed inside the device.
- The machine mixes the contents directly in the cup within a dozen or so seconds, creating a thick, cool and fresh drink.
