Gelato without a lab: made fresh and served at the counter

For a long time gelato was for businesses with a lab, a pasteuriser and a display case. With machines that work right at the counter, it also works in a café, a hotel or a kiosk.

In short

Gelato without a lab works with a machine that makes, stores, displays and serves at the counter, all in the same visible cylinder. On the Miles machines each cylinder holds 5 litres; according to Miles the first batch is ready in 12 to 18 minutes. You work with ready mixes, water and pastes or fresh fruit.

What a classic gelato lab needs

For a gelateria with a wide choice that is the right way. For a café, a hotel or a kiosk that wants gelato as a second line, it is often too much.

  • Pasteuriser, batch freezer, blast freezer and display case
  • A room of its own that meets the hygiene rules
  • Someone who masters recipes and produces every day

How it works at the counter

  • Stir the ready mix with water, add paste or fresh fruit
  • Fill the cylinder and choose the programme: gelato, ice cream, sorbet or granita (according to Miles)
  • According to Miles the first batch is ready in 12 to 18 minutes
  • The machine keeps stirring and holds the gelato at temperature
  • You serve from the same cylinder the guest sees

Which size fits

All models are air-cooled (according to Miles). All data is with the gelato machines.

The ingredients

We speak of Italian-style gelato: the mixes and pastes come from our partners, the fruit by season. What is available is under Ingredients. With the machine we also pass on how the mixes worked for us.
