   @zachleat what makes it “nugget”?

      @jobelenus

      > Instead of freezing water into solid cubes, nugget ice makers rely on an auger system that forms tiny flakes of ice. Then, the flakes are collected and compacted into small nuggets.

      > Since each nugget is composed of minuscule, snow-like flakes, the resulting texture is light, airy, and addictive!

                  @jobelenus ooh good question, I didn’t make note of the brand name (and it was unfamiliar to me)

                     @zachleat @jobelenus Sharing is caring, Zach: there's an upcoming birthday here (mine!) and maybe I can start leaving small hints in the house what could be a good fit… 😉 As you're happy with the machine, it would be nice to drop a line what model it is.

                        @arndissler @jobelenus I’m also hesitant to vouch for something that I only have a few days experience with!

                        I would be more comfortable reporting back in a few weeks or months!

                        Okay fine I also didn’t want to leave me office to check—it is an Euhomy 😅

                           @zachleat @arndissler let’s set a reminder for a month. You use it every day?

                              @jobelenus @arndissler yeah, absolutely (family of 4)

                           @zachleat @jobelenus Wise words - then I will check back end of February, as my birthday is in March ☀️ Thanks for sharing the brand so far!
