Home made soda!!
I don't drink coffee so I don't know what the foamy milk thing is and I don't like Mojitos, but I bought an AER anyway. I make my own syrups for sodas so I thought this might be helpful, but not so much I'd buy one. However, I LOVE homemade gingerale. I used to make it all the time but it takes so long, but mostly involves more clean up than I want, so I stopped. I bought the AER specifically to make gingerale. Anything else I make in it is a bonus.I wasn't sure if the 5 minutes at high speed was enough to extract the ginger flavor including the real spicy-ness I love, but it does! It made fantastic ginger syrup! I threw the ginger in to the food processor and sliced it up. Then 2 cups water, 1.5 cups sugar and a heaping 3/4 cup sliced ginger in to the AER. 5 minutes later it was awesome ginger syrup. All I had to do was strain it in to a jar and I was ready for gingerale. Cleaned up so fast, I had everything done, washed, sliced, ingredients in, blend and cleaned, bottled and put away in about 15 minutes.Now I need to test seriously reducing the sugar amount and seeing how large the ginger chunks can be to make this work. I know this attachment isn't for everyone, but for me, it is a game changer!

Great container
I bought this container for use of when it first came out and I use it just about every day. This purchase was a gift for someone that just received a Vitamix as a gift and I thought she would really appreciate and use this container. I use it to make different types of lemonade but there are other uses for it too.i great addition for anyone that owns a Vitamix.

Favorable initial impression
I’ve been interested in Aer Disc since it was released but couldn’t justify the investment, so when I needed something to offset a pity-party I opted to take the plunge and give Aer Disc a try.Pros: does a great job producing muddled fruit water (shown), perfect for those times when I want flavor but not a full-on juice.Cons: to date I’ve not been able to produce foamy or emulsified concoctions with non-dairy milk, but I’m still experimenting. Fingers crossed 🤞 that more time and testing will produce that which I seek.Cheers!

Not Inexpensive, but...
...if you want frothy hot chocolate in just six minutes, you've got to get this for your Vitamix. I was really happy to see that it works with my 12-year old Vitamix. Simply add cold milk and your favorite cocoa/sugar, and let it go on high for 6 minutes. This is the easiest hot chocolate I've ever made.

Now THIS is Fun in the Kitchen!
Finally replaced my workhorse Vitamix 750 (12 years old) with a Vitamix Ascent. But this 48 oz aer disc container is stealing the show! Tonight I made hollandaise sauce, chocolate mousse (involving whipping cream and meringue) and blackberry panna cotta. What a blast! I'm not a cocktail person, but can only imagine how fun it would be for that purpose, too. And it came with 2 more of the little 8 oz containers. I thought I would just be putting them in the cupboard, but found I had used them right away--making togarishi and mushroom paste for the seasoning of the hollandaise, and pesto. I feel like I went to cooking school!

More hype than truth
I believe Vitamix use the trust we have for them to put out products without given all information to the consumer. I was excited to use this machine mainly to create cold foam. Nothing I tried worked as advertised. After a while i realized it was the milk. Now on non dairy milk options I was not expecting to be great but it did not do anything at all. But on half and half or whole milk is should have work. But it did not. It only works with non-fat milk. I called Vitamix and told them they should disclose that. They stated they would let their chef’s know the recepies only work with non-fat milk and stated they use that mild for health reasons. As i explained to the rep i understand that however as a consumer i should know I can only use one type of milk with it. We should be informed and companies need to stop using deceitful practices to sell products. I will be returning this.
