QR Code Link to This Post
The MB2e features a sealed stainless vessel, internal blending blade, and precise temperature presets:
1 hour / No heat – ideal for delicate oils
2 hours / 130°F – perfect for infused butter
4 hours / 160°F – balanced herbal tinctures
8 hours / 190°F – deeper botanical saturation
Magic Butter Machine (MB2e)--Essentially a temperature controlled solvent extractor with a high‑shear homogenizer mechanism.
Cleaning cycle / 220°F – self‑cleaning convenience
What exactly is this machine and what can it do?
In plain scientific terms, it performs:
1. Thermal extraction
Heating plant material in a solvent (oil, butter, ethanol, glycerin) increases the solubility of certain compounds and accelerates diffusion out of the plant matrix.
2. Solvent extraction
The machine uses a solvent (oil, butter, alcohol, etc.) to dissolve lipophilic (fat‑soluble) or hydrophilic (water‑soluble) compounds depending on the solvent chosen. This MB2e machine can extract, among other things, lipophilic alkaloids (fat‑soluble) and hydrophilic alkaloids (water/alcohol‑soluble). Examples of a few of the alkaloids that can be extracted with this machine's features (heat + solvent + agitation) include: Capsaicin (from peppers), Caffeine (from coffee/tea), Berberine (from barberry), Piperine (from black pepper), Thymol (from thyme), Menthol (from mint), and a vast number of various indigenous plant alkaloids found in North America including those used in traditional Alaska herbalism. And, yes, some alkaloids are psychoactive.
3. Mechanical agitation / homogenization
The internal blade breaks down plant cell walls, increasing surface area and improving extraction efficiency.
4. Decarboxylation‑adjacent heating
Some preset temperatures (160–190°F) are high enough to convert certain acidic plant compounds into their neutral forms (e.g., cannabinoid acid → cannabinoid), though it is not a full decarb oven.
In Alaska, where both culinary and wellness infusions are popular — from legal cannabis edibles to traditional indigenous plant tinctures — this machine offers a clean, controlled, and far more affordable alternative to large distillation setups when the goal is extracting alkaloids from plant materials.
Works perfectly, and it includes an accessory nylon strainer bag, as well as the original product manual.
Located in Wasilla pretty close to 3Bears by KGB & Vine. Pick up, and payment will be in cash.
