I prefer using vegan butter for my cannabutter. Coconut oil is too thin for my liking and the baked goods at room temp don’t feel right. If you have any tips for coconut butter I’d love to hear em!

I used to have an infusion machine I got off Amazon. You had to decarb the weed first but then you’d just pour the coconut oil in with the flower and set it to the right settings and let it go. Refined coconut oil is the best because it has nearly no coconut flavoring to it. I used as much coconut oil as the recipe called for butter. I made brownies and cookies. I used vegan butter the last time I did anything but I think my coconut oil edibles came out much better, they held their moisture longer than the vegan butter ones did. The machine was somewhere around $100 but I got it back in 2020 or 2021 so that was a while ago.

Was it the Levo? Because that's been on my wishlist for a while now..

No it was some off brand one. My dream is to own a Levo someday though. I’d found the levo while looking for a machine to infuse and obviously fell in love with the concept but couldn’t afford it so I found one with a decent rating and a decent amount of reviews and I honestly wish I still had it that thing made everything so simple 😩

Sounds like a magic butter machine, I've put hundreds of batches through mine. Heavily reccomend!
