soy milk maker

This nut milk maker is sturdy and works well. It has different settings you can use, with or without heat. I love the glass liner and window so you can see what's going on inside.The instruction packet was very beautiful and impressive when I opened it. A cleaning brush is included to get to areas around the blade. They are sharp, so watch out!I made almond milk first since that is what I drink the most. This setting does not use any heat. It did seem to grind up my almonds finer that my blender does. I usually soak the nuts for several hours prior to making almond milk in my blender, so just dumping them in was different.This machine only makes about 1 cup at a time, so I made four batches. The setting for almond milk takes 6 minutes.Nowhere in the instructions does it say anything about straining the almond milk after the machine is done! I always strain it through a fine mesh strainer. (See video) You can use the strained bits of nuts in baked goods, like muffins, or feed it to your farm animals. (My chickens love it!)Flavor: I personally prefer the flavor of store bought almond milk. The texture is different. I do not want the extra added ingredients from store brands, so I make my own. But this is perfect to blend in smoothies or protein drinks.Second, I used it to boil water for a cup of tea. The setting for that is 8 minutes. You can see through the glass window to see when it is boiling.Third, I made a batch of rice milk. It turned out thick! It actually cooks the rice in the machine and blends it. I do not enjoy rice milk, but you might!It has a cleaning cycle. You can not get the milk machine wet, so you pretty much have to run the cleaning cycle, rinse very carefully, and dry with a towel.The machine will not operate without the lid on.In conclusion, this nut milk maker is well made. It would be good for someone who just uses a cup at a time.That would not be me!

I ordered this product to be able to make my own nut milk (without the additives, stabilizers, and sweeteners that store-bought includes). I was a bit surprised to discover that it only makes a single serving (maximum 2 cups) at a time - but that’s ok because it is SO fast to make. (And 2 cups is more than enough for our breakfast cereal!) The machine is very easy to use, pretty intuitive. Also, the user manual is straightforward - but a little spotty on some things. For example, it tells how to program the self-cleaning mode, but doesn’t mention how/when to use it - like adding detergent. (Though this mode doesn’t heat up the water, so I’m skeptical on how clean it really gets.) And there are only a few recipes included in the manual - not even all the items mentioned on the product photos (like coconut milk, oatmeal milk). Wish the maker included more recipes, especially to help me understand how “versatile” it is beyond nut milks.I tried making almond milk for the first time - very easy, just throw in a few ingredients, set the machine, and about 6 minutes later, it is done. It looked pretty creamy and tasted good (a bit watery, but I can adjust the water/nut ratio next time). However, there were some small bits in the bottom that didn’t get processed all the way - not a huge amount, but some. I think that if I soaked the nuts ahead of time, they would process more smoothly - and supposedly you get more nutrition out of the nut that way. Looking forward to trying a “smoothie” (room temperature?) from the recipes - maybe see if it will also chop up ice for a real smoothie!Basically, this little machine is a good quality, electronic bullet blender with option to heat. At this point, I’m not sure that it is worth the high price.

This personal nut and oat milk maker is such a great find. It has a glass insert. The machine comes with 6 presets versatility and ease of use: boil & blend single servings, keep warm, self-cleaning.It is listed as black. I'd say is more of an off-black/graphite finish. You can see this in the stock photos.The instructions were easy to follow, although I am having some fun experimenting to enrich the flavors a bit more -- e.g., The one thing I will do the next time is add a dried fig. Many experienced almond milk makers on Pinterest say that enhances the favor greatly instead of adding sugar or other sweeteners.

I'm trying to experiment with different milk alternatives, so this nut milk maker is perfect. It saves me money not having to buy and waste store bought milk, while I figure out which, if any, nut milks I want to drink. It allows me to control the quality of ingredients that go into my milk and also the level of sweetness and flavor, which have kept me away from so many options in the past. It's also nice looking on my counter so I find myself leaving it out rather than storing it away. However, I have to dock a star for not having a built in strainer and not being too easy to clean thoroughly. I'd recommend cleaning it immediately after use.

It looks nice and feels well-made. I tried the almond milk recipe, and it turned out tasting gross (too watery). I drink almond milk all the time from the grocery store and at least from following the directions included (which are too fancily packaged, a simple booklet would be fine, thank you) the result here is not the same. Curiously, the listing advertises oat milk, but the included recipes do not have a recipe for oat milk. I am giving this four stars because it is multi functional (you could use it as grinder or a kettle, at the least) and I don't think it's fair to give it less just because the almond milk didn't come out well. It also says not to clean it under running water, but rather to pour a cup of water into the mixer repeatedly until it gets clean. This is a little tedious but it did get clean and I understand why they instruct this, but then again I don't understand why they didn't design it with a removable cup, how hard could that have been to do?
