The kit is very nice for the price and it comes with everything you need except for bottles and fruit. Some of the parts are cheaply made but functional. The instructions are very vague as if someone made them in a rush. Several steps need to be added to the instructions as well as when to add each ingredient. The book that comes with it is not very useful unless you want to mix fruits and make a particular blend. Other than that there are no futher instructions in the book. Since this is a beginner's kit I would suggest they write the instructions step by step and have someone inexperience go threw the process with them.
