Magical Butter MB2E Starter Bundle – Infuser Machine with 8 mL Gummy Mold & Spatulas for Oils, Butters & Gummies

I have never attempted edibles because making butter sounds so daunting! This made it seem simple enough even I was finally willing to try.I received my infuser from Magical Butter via amazon and it came several days sooner than originally estimated, whooooooo!! I did a first batch using 28g of pretty good (stinky/sticky) flower with 2 cups of coconut oil. I opted to try oil first because the whole "clarifying" butter process seems like another potential step for me to f*** up so I figured I would start simple. I did run it for the 2 hour "butter" cycle instead of the 1 hour "oil" cycle.Oh and I of course first decarbed the flower in my oven with a thermometer which confirmed my oven has practically no thermal regulation! I kept it set at 200-210 because the actual temp consistently rose to around 240 and I was afraid for it to go too much higher. I kept an eye on that for 45 minutes, and meanwhile, i wiped down the infuser and washed out the filter really good - it smelled like plastic and had yucky fuzzies in it, so don't forget to turn it inside out and clean/rinse it really well!!I threw 2 cups melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of soy lecithin granules, and the decarbed (and cooled in the freezer) flowers into the infuser, hit 160 degrees, hit 2 hours, and watched it light up. It made no noise for awhile which made me nervous. Then eventually we heard the little blender go. I can't believe anyone would say that is loud - I found it to be so quiet I couldn't hear it from the next room over.I expected clean up to be a nightmare based on some reviews, my familiarity with coconut oil and melted butter, and further by the fact you can't use water or immersion to clean this thing - only a damp rag. I put wrapping paper over my island, had a big glass plate handy to set the top part on and I had a bunch of little silicone spoons and spatulas set out to really scoop and wipe all the oil into the filter and subsequent containers.When it beeped it was done I unplugged and set it on the island by all my supplies. I pulled the top unit (the "head") up but kept it over the pitcher and let oil drip for a minute while using a silicone (cake batter) spatula to help push any oil on the head elements into the pitcher. Then I set the head unit onto a glass plate where it continued to drip.I similarly used the spatula to push oil and herb that had collected up the sides all around the inside of the pitcher down into the mix. I set the filter in a glass pyrex bowl and then poured the oil in. The herb was kind of packed in the bottom, so I had the mister hold the filter so I could again use the silicone spatula to to wipe all the oil and the herb nicely into the filter and bowl. Then i just let the pitcher sit and cool while I kept working.The oil wasn't too hot to squeeze with the glove so I did it right away. We put the squeezed-out herb into another little glass pyrex storage container and we may try to use it for something. It was pretty crumbly - we were really able to get the oil out with the glove and filer. The glove and filter squeezing was also really easy, took minimal effort, and resulted in minimal mess. I washed the filter again right away really good with really hot water and soap, and turned it inside out to really get it good. Took a couple minutes of flipping it back and forth but I got it nice and clean for the next use.I set aside some oil for brownies and I used a funnel to pour the rest into a measuring glass, again using silicone spatula (my point is have these handy - they're amazing for this task!) to make sure i got as much as possible. I determined I got my two cups of oil back with no measurable loss!I switched gears at this point in clean up to start my brownies (I had already waited so long!!). I replaced the "vegetable oil" in the recipe with my magical oil and I also used my oily spatulas and the plate that was collecting oil to grease the brownie pan with all the drippings :)Once I got the brownies in the oven, I turned back to massive clean up. I used dry paper towels to initially wipe off the excess oil and dried herbs from the head unit and elements and also the inside of the pitcher - this removed most of it. Then I used a really hot damp rag to give it all another wipe down. Actually cleaned up way easier than I expected. The entire thing is back in the box and looks like brand new! Then I pulled up the wrapping paper I set down and it was like NOTHING HAPPENED! Other than my house smelling dank and delicious all night long!! This whole decarbing, infusing and baking process definitely resulted in my house smelling and I LOVED it!The brownies taste amazing with a hint of nutty coconut. So if you don't like that, then you want to stick with butter. But with this coconut oil, today I will try to make gummies!!My first impressions of the Magical Butter Infuser are this is the coolest thing I have bought in a long time! It opens doors for this gal who has no skills in the kitchen because it's so simple. Clean up is pretty breezy given the inherently messy ingredients you're working with. Should my impressions change, I'll check with Magical Butter first and share any helpful info about the experience.Happy New Year and Happy Infusing!

I have the Levo2 and was not happy. The Magical Butter Machine is AWESOME. Very simple to use, cleans up easily. Without a doubt I would recommend the Magical Butter over the Levo.

This thing is amazing when used correctly. I used 12-14 grams of some alright (my roommate got the 1/2 ounce) weed. I decarbed the weed (as recommended) at 220 F for 20-25 minutes. Once decarbed, threw my activated weed and two stick of butter into the base of the machine. Then I put about 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil instead of the lethicin stuff they recommended. Popped the top of the butter machine on and set it to 160 and let it go for 2 hours. Since I am a college student, I was looking to be as discreet as possible. I had to make this in my room so I wasn't sure how it was going to do smell wise. It blew my expectations out of the water. This thing had almost no smell (it was near a window and a fan blowing outside) and what you could smell was mostly melted butter. Once the 2 hours went by I unplugged the machine and let it cool for 5 minutes. Once that time passed I took the lid off and was instantly hit with a very strong cannabis smell. If you're trying to be discreet like myself, definitely open near a fan and window. Then with the included strainer and glove, poured the buttery mixture through it into a measuring bowl. The best part of it, I got my full 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter back. No butter was lost what so ever.As for the potency, it defintiley depends on the bud you are using and if you decarbed it or not. I baked a pan of brownies using 1/2 a cup or 1 sticks worth of butter. When they were done, my roommate and 2 of my friends are about 1/2 a brownie each. About an hour went by and let's just say, we didn't know which way was up. They defintiley worked and I'm really happy with the product. The best part is that I have one sticks worth of butter remaining to bake into even better goodies;)
