New to the world of infusing and now sure where to begin? We were in the space boat so we researched about a dozen herbal infusers to figure out which were the best ones. The verdict? It really depends on what you’re using your infuser for.

Thanks to weed being legalized in many states, many are looking for a cannabis infuser to, well, infuse their weed into a variety of foods. Others are looking to infuse herbs into things like butter and oil. Finding the best one for you doesn’t have to be such a tough task.

What Do Infuser Machines Actually Do?

What exactly are infuser machines? These miracle contraptions will allow you to infuse oil or butter with herbal flavors of your choice, in the comfort of your own home.

Typically your infuser will allow you to take your recipes, whether CBD, food or beauty related to the next level. Various settings will infuse your butter or oil with herbs at different potencies, provide aroma control, purify, and more. So you can dry, activate, and infuse! The amount of time it takes to infuse will vary – depending on the herb you choose, as well as the oil you choose. So, while many (most?) people may be using them to tackle their weed deeds, CBD oil, and budder, you can also kick your cooking up a notch with herb infused oils, power up with smoothies, or up your self-care game with lavender infused oils, scrubs, shower steamers or candles – even matcha. In fact, we’re all over this recipe for infused cheddar bacon scones, and are ready to serve them at our next outdoor brunch.

Can You Use Them With Weed?

After doing a bit of research, it didn’t take us long to figure out that these machines are also typically targeted towards marijuana users. So many people seem to be on the hunt for CBD anything these days, and as a result, these hit the mark for those looking to infuse their own CBD oils. And, sure, if you have a little cannabis you can whip up some amazing weed butter, pot-inspired brownies – you name it! Of course, that’s not the end all, be all here.

One of the most popular brands in this unbelievably fast growing market, is Levo, and they don’t necessarily market strictly to cannabis users, but rather focus on food, beauty products, and even muscle rubs and shower steamers.

Are Infusers Really Worth It?

One thing we noticed when researching different infuser machines? People really seem to love them. Most of the ones we came across received glowing, five star reviews. So if you’re looking to check these out, and need a place to start, we’ve found some great options below, including:
