MUM86A – unboxing

I don’t remember exactly the first time I read about this machine. But I do remember that from that day on, I wanted one.
Badly.
But there was a slight problem.
I already had a kitchen machine. The trusted Siemens MK 1001 with a lot of add ons that my mother had given to me. Most notable here is the flour mill, which I used to use to mill rye floor and prepare my Frischkornbrei (“water-soaked ground cereals with fruit”).
Then, some weeks ago, it stopped working at all.
So, I was ready for a new food-processor!
Ordered last week, it arrived today, in an almost cubic packaging.

When you open the lid, you get a glimpse at just how massive this thing is.

It’s gorgeous. Even Steve Jobs would agree with that 😉

It does come with some accessories. Though, there are some more available. I like to joke that it’s the Mercedes of food processors: you can spend the price of the base unit on top of it for accessories 😉

One thing that is included is a giant blender. 1.75 liters.

Resting on its place in my kitchen. I will need to cover it with something or it will get very dusty very soon.

I’ve still got some bread I bought yesterday, so I will have to wait before I can switch it on for the first time.

It’s coming!

Finally, after a long wait:

Strange how something that originates maybe 20km from my home is first transported 50km or so away from me before being sent back again. It’s madness.
