I bought the Are Disc for my husband for Father's Day so he could make his bullet proof coffee. This machine is amazing at frothing! I started using it to make different flavored waters with fruit and herbs. Cannot wait to start using this for different types of sauces!
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Power
I quite like this container and have had fun trying out different drinks. If you are someone that likes to experiment in food/drink preparation you may enjoy the aer disc. One limitation I found is there are not that many recipes that came in the accompanying book. Also if you like to use the Vitamix app (with scale) it doesn’t appear to have any recipes for the aer disc or the ability to add this container for new recipes. Hopefully Vitamix will add the aer disc to the app.
Pros: Programability, Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
I'm really trying to love this container however it falls short of even the most modest expectations. I have yet to have to it muddle as indicated it could. I followed a specified recipe as well as trying my own. I did try to whip/froth almond milk for my coffee (the 2nd reason I purchased) but have since learned almond milk is a poor choice. I love my vitamix but I'm afraid this container leaves a lot to be desired.
Pros: Durability

We hope you find these tips helpful. When muddling, typically a lower speed is best. Skim milk is needed to make cold and hot foam. The foaming process works as a result of the amount of fat, protein and sugar in skim milk.
It's not as useful as I thought. Especially for the price...should have just bought the 64 oz container.

I have yet to fall in love with this. My meringues have not turned out, the strawberry lemonade is good but this seems like a lot of money to make lemonade.

DRINKS GUYS!
Freshly brewed coffee, half & half, few teaspoons sugar, 1oz irish whisky per final product serving, on high in this thing for a minute plus, pour into clear mug, you'd never know it wasn't made by a barista.
Whipped cream in masse! Pour in heavy cream, set to 4, go, watch it and make sure the waterfall in the center is falling back onto the disc and it'll make 100% of it into whipped cream WAY faster than any stand mixer.
Mix anything on the rocks without arm cramps!
Beware mayo! The vitamix might be too fast for any olive oil use so pick another oil or the bitterness creeps in.
I bought the container to make shakes/smoothies and its even better than I imagined. It multiplies the contents to almost twice its size and everything is lighter and smoother. Ice melts into the shake and disappears and the drink is not as cold as using the regular disc.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Power
