This sleek machine can mix juice cocktails or real ones (age permitting) on command and looks great on your counter.
Volumetric vs Ratio Mixing
Ratio Mixing
Use: For juice mixes
Liquids are simultaneously pumped at different rates. For example, when asked to make “Tropical”, orange juice would be pumped at full speed while pineapple and mango are pumped at 10% speed creating a 10:1:1 mixture of juices. This allows you to fill you glass as long as the pour button is depressed and is ideal for juice drinks.
Volumetric Mixing
Use: For alcoholic beverages
Liquids are combined in specific quantities. This only works for drinks of predetermined size, but is more practical for alcohol as it can be quite expensive to waste and (to a limited extent) unhealthy to over consume.
Each Monday is ArduinoMonday here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Arduino related products. Adafruit manufactures the Arduino right here in the United States in cooperation with arduino.cc. We have a huge selection of Arduino accessories and all the code and tutorials to get you up and running in no time!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
