Ich finde das Eis eigentlich immer gut. Was mich aber gerade wirklich überzeugt hat war, das Plastikbecher (für z.b. Spagetti-eis) und Löffel mit DIN 13432 angemerkt sind, wodurch diese von nur Wasser nach 6 Monaten schon zu einem Großteil in co2 zersetzt werden. Sehr gut!

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Das Spaghetti Eis war sehr gut, aber meiner Meinung nach etwas klein für den Preis.
