edmon, it is 110V, and our house is wired for both 110/220V. But if you only have a 220V plug, there are voltage regulators that can convert that to 110V. Most American appliances are 110V, so if you want to use them, its a good idea to have dual plugs in your kitchen so that microwaves, blenders, food processors, etc. can be used easily…

I remembered the coffee mangosteen! The best! Just wondering where you found the barako coffee? Would you know where I could get organic coffee here in manila?

Ernesto, I haven’t checked lately, and our machine is nearly 10 years old, but if I had to guess somewhere around $150+. Artisan, I used whole milk but pasteurized. And the cream was from Australia, but I suppose it was pasteurized too, but not UHT and off a grocery shelf, rather from the chiller section… Katrina and Mila, hahaha, I didn’t even THINK about the caffeine content of the ground beans AND espresso… yup, I guess they were bouncing off the walls… :) peterb, I am not sure who carries an ice cream maker locally, but perhpas the home section of SM or Rustan’s would have it. I am wary of the smaller home versions however as I often get mixed results. The old-fashioned White Mountain set up has always yielded good results… Maricel, try not to let the salty water hit the motor area. Rinse the whole contraption out with fresh water soon after making the ice cream. Ours is nearly 10 years old and stored at the BEACH, with salty air and it is still in good working condition. Dew, yes, there are ground beans in the ice cream…but trust me, you wouldn’t really know that unless I told you so…
