    Use A Machine To Make Your Edibles

    If you are new to making cannabis edibles, you know that it can sometimes feel overwhelming and time-consuming.

    For traditional edibles like brownies or cookies, first, you must decarb your flower.

    Then, you will need to infuse butter or oil. Only then can you make your homemade edibles.

    Maybe you've wondered if there's a better, quicker way to make your edibles?

    If this is the case, you might find an infusion machine handy. These machines can bring ease and convenience to the entire process.

    But, with so many machines out there, it can be hard to know which one to pick.

    Read on to learn more about the most highly recommended cannabis infusion machines recommended by real consumers AND get my exclusive coupon codes to help save money!

    Do You Need An Infusion Machine?

    An infusion machine is just that, a machine that does the work for you by infusing cannabis into butter or oil.

    Many infusion machines will also decarboxylate for you, although not every machine offers this benefit.

    While these processes can easily be done without fancy equipment inside your kitchen, many prefer the ease of a done-for-you machine.

    These machines remain extremely popular inside my Cannabis Community for those who want an extremely easy and convenient way to make edibles.

    Note: These infusion machines are not to be confused with extraction machines, like the Source Turbo, used to make homemade tinctures and concentrates.

    Unfortunately, there are many different infusion machines on the market today, making it difficult to know which one to invest in.

    This guide will run through the pros and cons of each machine and include suggestions from my community members, so you can decide what machine will be the best investment for you.

    We will review the following machines:

    • The Ardent Nova & FX Machine
    • The LĒVO II Machine
    • The Magic Butter Machine
    • The STX Infuzium 420 Machine
    • The Herbal Infuser Machine
    • The Active Gear Guy Machine

    Ardent Machines

    Ardent Cannabis remains one of the most highly recommended brands in my community, AND I also have a coupon code (EMILY30) to help save you $30 off your purchase!

    Ardent offers two different infusion machines, the Ardent Nova and the Ardent FX.

    Both machines decarb cannabis and infuse butter or oil. The difference between these two machines is the capacity.

    The Nova can hold up to one ounce of cannabis material, while the FX can hold up to four ounces. 

    However, what gets people extra excited about the FX machine is that you can bake directly in it. That is why they call it the Easy-Bake Ardent.

    The FX is so big; you can make mini cakes, pies, and tarts right in the machine!

    Price: The Nova retails for $260, while the FX retails for $350. You can purchase both on Ardent's website. Don't forget to use the code EMILY30 to save $30!

    Ardent Machine Pros & Cons

    • Pro: Decarbs AND Infuses AND bakes all in one
    • Pro: Its larger capacity makes the FX perfect for large batches
    • Pro: Ardent has a helpful website with great resources
    • Pro: My community members report a great overall experience with great customer service
    • Pro: I have a Coupon Code Available! Use EMILY30 at checkout to save $30
    • Con: The Ardent FX highest priced infusion machine reviewed here

    LĒVO Machine

    The original LĒVO got great reviews, so the brand created the new and improved LĒVO II, AND I have a coupon code (EMILY 10) to help save you 10% off your purchase!

    This machine is sleek, stylish and comes in five different colors to match your kitchen decor.

    It comes with three different settings: dry, activate, and infuse.

    With the activate setting, you can easily decarb up to ¼ ounce of cannabis at once. You can double that capacity with an extra add-on. 

    On the infusion setting, you can infuse up to 19 ounces of butter or oil at once.

    This means that you'll have plenty of cannabis-infused oil in no time, so you can get to cooking sooner.

    The LĒVO II is great for people who want to make small batches of high-quality oil all in one high-tech machine. 

    Price: The LĒVO II retails for $299.99. You can purchase on the LĒVO website.  Don't forget to use the code EMILY10 to save 10%!

    Magic Butter Machine (MBM)

    The Magic Butter MB2e Machine is one of the most popular infusion machines on the market, and for good reason.

    These devices have a long lifespan and are very reliable.

    It's important to know, though, that the MB2e does not have a setting to decarb your cannabis, so if you want a machine that does that for you, this isn't a good choice.

    The company does offer an add-on for decarbing, but you'll still have to use your own oven. 

    The best part about the Magic Butter Machine MB2, though, is its capacity. You can infuse up to five cups (40 ounces) of oil at once.

    Huge batches are great if you want to stock up on cannabis oil or plan to make a lot of edibles. 

    Price: The Magic Butter Machine MB2 retails for $259.95. You can purchase the Magic Butter Machine MB2 from Amazon here.

    Magic Butter Machine Pros & Cons

    • Pro: Its larger capacity makes it perfect for bigger batches of oil or tincture
    • Pro: The Magical Butter Kit comes with a two gummy trays, one butter tray and a master pack spatula set
    • Pro: Can be purchased on Amazon with Prime shipping
    • Con: Does not decarboxylate

    STX Infuzium 420 Machine

    Many of my community members recommended the Infuzium 420, a fully automatic and state-of-the-art microprocessor.

    This machine infuses by milling, blending, heating, and steeping your herb precisely at the correct temperature and in the correct sequence each time.

    The Infuzium 420 is durable, user-friendly, and safe, with features like an overheating auto shut-off and a self-cleaning function.

    Perfect for those who want to make smaller batches, the Infuzium 420 allows you to explore your butter, oil, & tincture, infusing imagination with as little as 1 cup of butter (2 sticks, often considered a mini-batch).

    Price: The STX Infuzium 420 Machine retails for $159.80. You can purchase directly from Amazon. 

    STX Infuzium 420 Machine Pros & Cons

    • Pro: Infuses butter, oil, AND tinctures
    • Pro: Its smaller capacity makes it perfect for smaller, craft batches of oil or tincture
    • Pro: Also includes 4 purifier filters, a silicone butter mold, a silicone kitchen mitt, 3 silicone spatulas, 2 square gummy molds, the Infuzium 420 Cookbook

    Herbal Infuser (HI) Machine

    The Herbal Infuser machine has been recommended several times in my Cannabis Community as well.

    Designed with proprietary technology for maximum potency, speed, and simplicity, this machine is one of the most cost-effective way to utilize herbs to their fullest capacity.

    The Herbal Infuser can help you make months’ worth of herbal infusions with a single infusion process.

    The Herbal Infuser has been modeled to fit perfectly on a counter or table, as well as have an attractive appearance that will be the center-piece of your kitchen.

    Active Gear Guy (AGG) Machine

    The Active Gear Guy Machine is another recommended automated electric infuser machine that can extract and infuse the active ingredients of your herb into a variety of products.
