Customer Review: This Lemonade Maker Will Physically Hurt You
Summary: 1 Stars
The Lemonader. A mere $5 shipped from Amazon, I figured delcious lemonade was finally in my grasp.
Oh, a naive fool be I!
I feel foolhardy for not having pictures from the debacle that was brewing our first pitcher of lemonade. Words will just have to do.
First of all, it's a strangely complicated procedure for making a drink that consists only of water, sugar, and lemon.
First the exact amount of water it tells you to add changes. I was told by fellow lemonade brewers that I just didn't read well, but does this really seem a plausable reason for me screwing up? Doubtful.
The result of this was I poured in far too much water. "Oh no!" you might think "the pitcher is going to overflow and spill hot lemony water all over you! You'll get burned!" No, kids, don't worry. The fine people at LemonCorp knew of this danger and for that reason put a rather sizable hole where you pour the water in. So instead of having watered down lemonade you instead get water all over the place. The best part about the hole is it just comes straight out the back of the contraption. Not into any type of fail-safe mechanism which would catch the water pouring out at a rather rapid pace (seeing as they tell you to put in triple the water you actually need to).
Good design.
Well, whatever, we got that figured out so we turn it on and it starts to `brew' the sugar water. I didn't expect this but the Lemonader is much like a coffee machine, except instead of coffee grounds, it uses pure uncut sugar. Mmmm.
While this is going on you're supposed to put some lemons onto that juicer at the top so as to add essence to the Lemonade.
I start doing so. Everything's fine until around the third lemon.
This is when the machine shoots hot steam at whomever is close enough to it to get painfully burned. Yep, if the water all over your kitchen doesn't piss you off, they burn you too.
Nice.
So after tending to my third-degree burns and realizing I can no longer ream any more lemons (too dangerous!) we let the lemonade maker do its thing.
Aside from a pitcher of rather regular tasting lemonade, there was a nice pulpy mess that made me just want to jump up and make another pitcher.
