If you have the 10-lb. tilting melanger, the maximum/minimum numbers are:

 

1. Minimum capacity 3lbs/1.3kg
2. Maximum capacity 10lbs/4.5kg

For small amounts, the micro accessory is recommended, as the large version does not work well with a small quantity.  There is a splash guard (did you install that?).  From others' reports I expected splashing, but so far I have not had any splashing at all.

I have the 8lb one which tells me 1 kg was plenty for that. I didn't buy the small because all I want to make in the melanger is mainly almond and hazelnut praline, and flavor some couverture with coffee and maybe freeze-dried fruit I would think pretty "safe" recipes but haven't tried them yet. Did you try flavoring couverture in there? If yes what was your experience? ( I know people have made flavored chocolates from scratch but haven't seen anyone just flavoring couverture in the thread yet).
