CASO Design IceCreamer 5-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
The CASO Design IceCreamer is a compressor-based ice cream maker, which means it contains its own refrigeration unit and does not need a pre-frozen bowl — a significant practical difference from the more common freeze-the-bowl type. Pour in your mixture and the machine chills and churns simultaneously, producing up to 2 litres of ice cream in 30 to 60 minutes. Four automatic programmes cover ice cream and yoghurt, with the yoghurt programmes running for 5 to 8 hours at a controlled temperature. A 60-minute aftercooling function keeps the finished ice cream at serving temperature after churning is complete, and an ingredient hatch on the lid lets you add mix-ins during operation without stopping the machine. Compatible with dairy and plant-based milks. Includes a removable ice cream container, measuring cup, and scoop, with a two-year guarantee.
Features:
Compressor technology, no pre-freezing required: The built-in 180W compressor chills the mixture as it churns, eliminating the need to freeze a bowl overnight before use. You can make ice cream on demand without planning ahead.
Ice cream in 30 to 60 minutes: The compressor brings the mixture to the correct temperature and churns it simultaneously, producing up to 2 litres of ice cream within 30 to 60 minutes depending on the recipe and starting temperature of the ingredients.
Four automatic programmes: Four programmes cover the main use cases: ice cream and yoghurt production, with the machine managing temperature and timing automatically for each.
60-minute aftercooling function: After churning is complete, the aftercooling function keeps the ice cream at serving temperature for up to 60 minutes, giving flexibility between the end of the programme and serving.
Ingredient hatch and dairy or plant milk compatibility: An ingredient hatch in the lid allows mix-ins to be added during churning without interrupting the programme. Works with both dairy and plant-based milk bases.

Care instructions:
After each use: Remove the ice cream container and wash in warm soapy water. Wipe the interior of the machine with a damp cloth once it has returned to room temperature. Do not immerse the machine in water.
Ice cream container and accessories: The removable ice cream container, measuring cup, and scoop can be washed by hand in warm soapy water. Check whether the container is dishwasher safe in the instruction manual before placing it in the dishwasher.
Exterior: Wipe the stainless steel housing with a damp cloth. A soft dry cloth removes fingerprints and water marks without scratching the surface.
Ventilation: The compressor requires adequate ventilation to operate efficiently. Ensure there is clearance around the machine, particularly at the rear and sides, and do not store items on top of the machine during operation.
What to avoid: Do not operate the machine without the ice cream container in place. Do not tilt or move the machine during operation. Allow the machine to rest for a few minutes between consecutive batches to avoid overworking the compressor.
Questions and answers:
Why does a compressor ice cream maker cost more than a freeze-bowl type?
A freeze-bowl machine requires the bowl to be frozen solid before use, typically overnight, and can only make one batch before the bowl needs re-freezing. A compressor machine contains its own refrigeration unit, so there is no bowl to pre-freeze and consecutive batches can be made without waiting. The higher price reflects the compressor mechanism, which is the same technology used in a fridge or freezer. For regular use, the convenience difference is substantial.
Can I make sorbet or gelato as well as standard ice cream?
The source data specifies four programmes for ice cream and yoghurt but does not list specific sorbet or gelato programmes. Sorbet can typically be made in a standard ice cream programme using a fruit and sugar base without dairy, but the precise results will depend on the recipe. Gelato typically requires a slower churn than standard ice cream. The instruction manual will have the most accurate guidance on which recipes work best with each programme.
How long does the yoghurt programme take?
The yoghurt programme runs for 5 to 8 hours, which is within the typical range for machine-made yoghurt. The exact duration depends on the type of milk used and the desired thickness and acidity of the result.
What is included in the box?
The machine comes with a removable ice cream container, a measuring cup, and an ice cream scoop. The two-year guarantee is also included as standard.
