The quick answer
The MB2e is well built and makes up to 5 cups per run. But it doesn't decarb, and its blender grinds herb into the butter, so every batch goes through a filter bag, and owners often strain twice. Grinding also pulls plant material into the butter, which can turn it green and give it a grassy taste. LĒVO activates and infuses in one machine with your herb sealed in a pod, so it comes out ready to use. Want big batches? The LĒVO C makes up to 6 cups per run.
Choose if
- You want decarb and infusion in one machine, with no oven step
- You're done squeezing butter through filter bags
- You want butter without the green color and grassy taste grinding can cause
- You want parts that go in the dishwasher
- You want the right size for you: 2 cups (II+, Lux) or up to 6 cups (C)
Choose MagicalButter if
- You already decarb in the oven and don't mind straining
Up to 6 cups per run and a 1 oz Jumbo Pod: the LĒVO sized for MB2e-style batches. Prefer smaller everyday batches? The II+ makes 2 cups with a sealed carbon-filter lid.

LĒVO vs. MagicalButter: questions, answered
Is LĒVO better than the Magic Butter Machine?
For most home infusers, yes: LĒVO activates and infuses in one machine and keeps your herb sealed in a pod, so there's no oven step and nothing to strain. The MagicalButter MB2e is a solid machine and tops out at 5 cups per run. If you want big batches without the straining, the LĒVO C makes up to 6 cups per run.
Does the Magic Butter Machine decarb?
No. MagicalButter says the MB2e automates infusion only, and decarb happens first, in an oven or their DecarBox. Every LĒVO has a built-in Activate cycle.
Do you have to strain Magic Butter?
Yes. The MB2e's blender grinds herb into the liquid, so you strain it through a filter bag afterward, and owners often report straining more than once. LĒVO keeps your herb sealed in a pod, so the infusion comes out ready to use.
Which makes bigger batches, LĒVO or Magic Butter?
The MB2e makes 2 to 5 cups per cycle with a 2-cup minimum. The LĒVO C makes up to 6 cups per run with a 1 oz Jumbo Pod, and the LĒVO II+ and Lux make up to 2 cups, so you can pick the size that fits how much you actually use.
Is the Magic Butter Machine hard to clean?
The pitcher has a self-cleaning cycle, but owners note the motor head can't be submerged or put in the dishwasher, so it's wiped by hand. Every removable LĒVO part (reservoir, stirrer, drain tube and pod) goes in the dishwasher.
Can LĒVO make gummies?
Yes. Every LĒVO makes infused oil and butter you can use in gummies, baked goods and more, and pairs with the LĒVO Gummy Mixer and mixes.
What warranty comes with LĒVO?
Every machine carries a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty, and extended coverage can be added at checkout or within 90 days of purchase.
How do I know how strong a batch will be?
The free LĒVO app includes a potency calculator that estimates strength from your herb amount, its percentage, and how much oil or butter you're infusing.
