iSi Gourmet Whip (1/2 Pint) - Multifunctional Food Whipper for Warm & Cold Application, Stainless Steel Cream Canister - Includes 3 Decorating Tips, Dishwasher Safe - Professional Culinary Tool

We paid more than I was initially hoping to for this make and model but it has worked flawlessly with the iSi 0085 chargers I bought. Materials and construction are excellent and it looks like it'll last a long time. We did find, however, that some whipping cream products work better than others. Probably variation in butter fat content. We add a few teaspoons of vanilla extract to a pint of cream along with about 1/8 teaspoon of pure stevia powder for sweetening, stir and pour into the cold canister making sure the nozzle is attached, then charge, shake 6 - 8 times and store in the fridge. We use it each evening for our low-carb dessert topping. Cheaper and better tasting than the canned whipping cream product we'd been using. ============= Update Aug 28 - we use this daily and it has worked flawlessly, saving us lots of money and reducing waste versus buying a canned product. Paying more for something that works well and that you use every day is worth it to us

well, come on this is the epitome of gourmet whipping cream. This is probably my eighth one to purchase over the years. I’ve given many as gifts as well. Are they pricey, of course, but buy the best and only cry once. If you’re looking for something substandard, they won’t last for years buy something else but just spend the money and get this. They’re awesome.

Got mine (1 pint) from warehouse, so the price was more than fair and almost cheap considering how exceptionally well crafted this is. Yes, after you work in the price of nitrous canisters, it can be a bit pricey, but it's likely not something you'll use every day. And will be incredibly happy you have it on the days you do. There's many, many uses for it beyond whipped cream, but even if that's all you use it for it'll be the best whipped cream you've ever tasted. NOTE -- the 1 pint size will hold two cups of liquid and use 1 nitrous canister, which is likely more than enough for whatever you're making unless you're catering a large event. Whatever you make will store well for a while in a cold fridge, but remember the obvious -- if you make too much, and want to use it for something else, you lose the liquid and the nitrous the second you open it. So better to make a second batch of something if you really need it than waste the left overs.

My order arrived quickly and packed well for the shipping. Everything seems to be working good.

I can tell I have bought a quality product. I love how sturdy this feels. Big plus because it's stainless steel and it's iSi brand. Honestly before looking into getting whip cream maker, I didn't know who iSi was. But after google searching for quality brand in that specific area, I found iSi filled the first page of results. Yes, it's a bit on the heavy side compared to aluminum, but I know it is strong and made to last. When you fill your whip cream maker, prior to use, you have to shake it a few times. I know if I shook it and dropped it, it would not have any dents in it. I wouldn't trust aluminum in that department. Especially with product that will have pressurized gas inside, and may go through accidental rough handling, stainless steel is definitely my choice in material. Grip on the top lid is nice. It's very easy and comfortable to dispense. It comes with 3 dispenser tips. 1x stainless steel tip for regular use. 2x for decorating. 1x brush for cleaning. 1 manual. It does NOT come with flavor injection tips for flavor injecting poultry and such. That would be nice, but I hardly will ever use it for that. Recipe I follow is as follows: 1 Pint (2 cups), 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar (confectionery), 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Expensive as heck, but this is definitely a case of getting what you pay for. **Very nice high end professional quality.** Super easy to operate, wash, assemble. Cream stays ice cold in the thick walled barrel. I'm thrilled (most) all the parts are stainless steel ..w/exception of the extra tip options included. Not sure why those are plastic, but they're very nice. I'm glad I spent the extra $$, I'd rather have a quality piece for the rest of my life & never have to think about it or pay for it again. The only learning curve int your ingredients correct before closing up & adding your cartridge. Even after all the reviews & trying to avoid first timers mistakes.. I was fastidiously following the written directions, I completely forgot to add sweetner! There went my 1st pint of pricey organic heavy cream & 1st N2o cartridge. Argh! The next time, I simply added too much sweetner.. Also, don't make the mistake of buying half n half, as someone did for me.. it doesn't work either! I have it down now.. Approx 3 tbsps sweetner/sugar to 1 pint heavy cream!! (I also seemed to have received someone's return the 1st go-round & it was swapped out & reshipped quickly & painlessly!)

We bought this right before Christmas with Amazon Prime, along with a 50 pack of iSi chargers. We have used it at least once a week. So far we have only used it for whipped cream, though we may try other uses eventually. It does a good job with whipped cream. The first few seconds with a new batch (and the end of a batch) often come out more liquid than whipped, and we've definitely had some messy splattering. This may be due to the shaking technique, though we did read the instructions and we now have some decent experience with it. We do put a couple teaspoons of vanilla and a couple teaspoons of sugar along with a pint of Stonyfield Organic Whipping Cream. The taste is fantastic and the cream does not deflate for quite some time. It comes with a stainless tip and two plastic decorator tips. We use one of the decorator tips regularly and it seems very sturdy. It also cleans well with the included tip brush. I would never go back to Redi-Whip. All in all I am happy with the purchase, which is saying something given that we paid about $20 more than the current Amazon price due to buying during the holiday season. We have recommended it to family and parents have already bought one for themselves.

This makes fantastic whipped cream and foams. If you use the CO2 cartridges you can make even more things!

J'ai hésité à cause du prix mais vraiment je ne regrette pas car avec mon ancien syphon combien de crème jeté sans parlé d'utiliser deux recharges de gaz ! Bref beaucoup de gâchis pour un résultat plus que médiocre au niveau de la chantilly. Là on a clairement à faire à la Rolls des syphons car en plus d'avoir une chantilly au top je n'ai besoin que d'une recharge de gaz !

Il sifone isi, si sa, è un po' la ferrari dei sifoni presenti sul mercato e in effetti il prodotto è fatto molto bene ed è molto elegante. Il sifone è tutto in acciaio, materiale antibatterico per eccellenza. Sulla testa del sifone è presente una fascia di silicone rosso antiscivolo che lo rende molto comodo. Nella confezione sono presenti - 1 scovolino piccolo per pulire molto bene anche il buco da cui esce il prodotto montato oltre che i beccucci. - 3 beccucci di cui uno in acciaio e 2 in plastica, ma con la parte che si avvita alla testa, in acciaio (ottimo perchè la plastica con il tempo si sarebbe consumata e la filettatura si sarebbe magari persa). - 1 piccolo libretto di istruzioni Il sifone funziona con normali cartucce di protossido di azoto (N2O) che servono per montare creme, ma, sebbene esista un sifone apposito per le cartucce di CO2, l'ho visto usare in alcuni video youtube, anche con queste ultime. Il bello di questo sifone isi è che è che essendo molto conosciuto e molto usato in ambito professionale, troverete sempre pezzi di ricambio. Inoltre esistono accessori da acquistare a parte come dei beccucci a forma di ago per riempire ad esempio bignè o per fare decorazioni molto piccole o ad esempio un beccuccio infusore. Il sifone esiste sia da 1/2 litro (quello in questione) o da 1l. Può essere usato sia con creme calde (può essere scaldato fino a 75°) sia con creme fredde. Ha un'ottima resa. Io ci ho fatto una mousse di crema di mascarpone divina. L'utilizzo è molto semplice. L'unica raccomandazione è di filtrare molto accuratamente il liquido che inserire nel sifone con un colino a maglie strette per evitare che eventuali granelli intasino il beccuccio erogatore. Se dovesse succedervi che questo si intasi fate estrema attenzione e procedete svitando la testa pochissimo per volta e facendo sfiatare molto lentamente, perchè all'interno la pressione è molto alta e rischiate l'effetto bomba. Il prezzo è molto elevato rispetto ad altri prodotti equivalenti, ma il prodotto è fatto per resistere nel tempo ed è molto solido e ben fatto.

The product is working fine and the quality seems excellent. So far I’ve made drink foam and warm sauce. Looking forward to be using this product for years to come.

Well made. Holds one cup of cream. Easily fits in the fridge unlike the taller units available. For two people, holds just the right amount of cream before it expires. Large families would want to get the bigger unit. Comes with several different nozzles and a cleaning brush. Expensive, but worth it to get the quality. Would buy again.
