Hi Fina71, welcome to the forum. You sound like me when I first started out, wasn't happy with anything much but once you learn where you went wrong you start to get the hang of it and it is onwards and upwards from there. I am amazed at how some people take delivery of their machine and get stuck straight into cooking and baking without any mishaps. It is the simplicity of just making a drink every now and then which really brings it home to you just how versatile the machine is. I also love making lemonade.
