Jenkins Milk Machine

A milkshake (sometimes called a shake in the United States) is a sweet drink made by blending milk, ice cream, and flavorings or sweeteners such as butterscotch, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, fruit syrup, or whole fruit into a thick, sweet, cold mixture. It may also be made using other types of milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.A strawberry milkshake topped with a strawberryAlternative namesThick shake, frappe, cabinetTypeBeveragePlace of originUnited StatesMain ingredientsMilk, ice cream, and flavorings or sweetenersMilkshakes originated in the United States around the turn of the 20th century, and grew in popularity following the introduction of electric blenders in the subsequent two decades. They became a common part of youth popular culture, as ice cream shops were a culturally acceptable meeting place for youth, and milkshakes became symbolic of the innocence of youth.Full-service restaurants, ice cream shops, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare the shake in a specialized mixer known as a milkshake machine. At home, a blender is more commonly used. Milkshakes may be made from any flavor of ice cream; additional flavorings, such as chocolate syrup, malt syrup, or malted milk powder, are often added prior to mixing.Many fast food outlets do not make shakes from the individual ingredients; rather, they use automatic milkshake machines which freeze and serve a pre-made milkshake mixture consisting of milk, a sweetened flavoring agent, and a thickening agent. These are similar to soft-serve ice cream machines, but keep the shake at a drinkable consistency.Terminology around the distinction between a milkshake that uses ice cream and other forms of flavored milk varies regionally. An ice cream-based milkshake may be called a thick shake to distinguish it. In parts of New England and eastern Canada, the name frappe (/fræp/ FRAP) is used.[1][2] Rhode Island residents sometimes refer to milkshakes as cabinets".[3] A milkshake containing malted milk powder is sometimes called a malt. The term concrete is used for particularly thick milkshakes that do not spill when turned upside down

Local organic milk sells itself really

I have been buying fresh milk from the Aberystwyth Machine for around 3 or 4 weeks now, I am so glad that I made this choice as one the milk is organic, and two it tastes like the milk that I used to have when I was a child, I hope that one day that these farmers will go further and make their own butter and fresh cheese, as well as their yoghurts and ice cream, yet to be tasted, the price is right with the farmers getting the right price for their food production, so support your local farmers and buy direct, yes it is more expensive, but you really do get what you pay for, I am very conscious about where my food comes from, by buying milk and meat from two local farmers, Jenkins for Milk and Rob Rattray Butchers for fresh meat, I know that I am doing my bit by ensuring that the food producers get the right price for their hard work. By buying local you are protecting your local suppliers, lets keep it that way, and to Farmer Jenkins and his family, a massive than you.

This is my first experience of anything like this, and I was amazed! (Maybe that's just the townie" part of me speaking) The little shack comes with a couple of walll mounted hand sanitiser units

Such a good idea! The machine is really convenient and the milk is fresh, local and delicious. The reusable glass bottles are also lovely and environmentally friendly. The only thing I would say is the “milkshakes” are a little odd as they are made with artificial flavours, which seems contradictory to the top quality organic milk.

Banana milkshake is highly recommended

Machine didn't work, just spat out some strawberry syrup and no milk. Waste of £1.60

Great idea, fresh milk or milkshakes 24hours a day.

Fresh and delicious milk and milkshakes. Cups readily available.

These machines never disappoint! The milk is great and there is a vending machine for sweets and other food.
