Traditional ice cream maker Magimix 11680 RW — 2 L bowl, 180 W, silver

Magimix Gelato Expert 11680RW with integrated cooling and two 2 L bowls is a countertop ice cream maker designed to produce gelato, ice cream and frozen desserts without pre-freezing removable bowls. The built-in refrigeration unit controls the freezing process while the dual-bowl system enables continuous production and easier portioning. Intended for home use and small-scale professional environments, this model combines automated churning with temperature regulation for consistent textures across a variety of recipes.

Advantages

The integrated compressor-based cooling removes the need to store bowls in a freezer, saving time and simplifying workflow. Two removable 2-litre bowls let you process one batch while preparing or cleaning the other, increasing throughput for multiple flavours. Automated mixing and programmable cycles provide repeatable results without constant supervision, and the countertop design makes the unit easy to place in a kitchen or service area.

Suitable for

• Making gelato and traditional ice cream at home
• Preparing frozen desserts and sorbets
• Small-scale catering, cafés and dessert stations
• Recipe development and small-batch testing

When it may not be suitable

This machine is intended for home use and small-scale professional settings; it may not be suitable for high-volume industrial production where larger-capacity or continuous-production systems are required. Users expecting extremely large single-batch output should consider commercial machines with higher throughput.

How to use

Attach a prepared removable bowl and pour the chilled or room-temperature mixture into the bowl up to the indicated fill level. Select the appropriate programme or manual cycle for your recipe and start the unit; the integrated cooling will lower and maintain the temperature while the paddle churns to incorporate air and freeze the mix. When the cycle completes, stop the machine, remove the bowl and either serve immediately or transfer the product to cold storage for further hardening. Clean removable parts after each use following the manufacturer's care guidance.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: suitable for home and small-scale professional use, not for large industrial production
• Capacity needs: two 2 L bowls provide small-batch output—check if this meets your serving requirements
• Space and placement: countertop footprint approximately 290 × 260 mm and 370 mm high
• Power supply: requires 180 W operation—verify compatibility with your kitchen circuits
• Maintenance: removable parts require regular cleaning and occasional defrosting for optimal performance

Usage recommendations

Follow recipe ratios and avoid overfilling the 2 L bowls. Use one bowl while preparing or cleaning the other to maintain continuous production. Allow a short pre-cool cycle if making several batches in a row, and defrost and clean removable parts regularly to ensure hygienic operation and consistent cooling performance.
