Almond Milk Maker [Archive]

I have had one for more than a year now and I LOVE it. So much so, that I decided to sell them on my web site. There are 6 of us in my household and we go through A LOT of almond milk. I use my SoyQuick almost every day. It is a work horse. Aside from my dehydrator and food processor, I don't know what I would do without it. I've sold quite a few of them and everyone has told me how much they like it. I haven't heard anything bad yet - so I guess that's the sign of a good product! :)

Rowan - this particular soy milk maker has been designed to make raw nut milks as well - that's another reason why I like it. They have adapted it to be able to turn off the heating element to make quick nut milks. I have never had the heating element on during the grinding process - the whole thing only takes about 3 minutes and it's done. I've used almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. They all work and taste great!

I also recently tried the Raw Hemp Milk Maker made in the U.K. as a comparison - they finally came out with one for the U.S. electrical currents and sent it to me. It burned up on the second use. I don't think they have it quite perfected yet.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Does it make the milk without heating the beans? WOW! :eek:

I've never tried making soy milk from beans. I've only used nuts and seeds - and they work great! And one of the best parts is, shipping is free and there's no tax! You gotta love that!

It's a nice company too. They have always worked nicely with me and ship immediately. I enjoy doing business and supporting a company that has such an efficient and professional work ethic.

I live in England and I have the Hemp Milk Maker. I love it! I just fill one part with nuts, the other with water then switch it on, come back in a few minutes and I've got 1l milk. It's my favourite piece of equipment.
As it's called a hemp milk maker, I felt I had to try hemp milk - but I didn't like it. However I love sesame, almond, brazil, sunflower. All the other milks I've tried have been nice too except flax. I suppose I should have realised flax wouldn't make milk!

If you're talking about the Yoah, I have no doubt that it is a great machine. They just don't have it down for U.S. electrical currents yet. I don't think the motor is properly configured. It burned up on almonds on the second use. They did convert the power cord, but I don't think the motor is right for us. I am glad to hear it works well for you though. They are really nice folks there.

I bought it over a year ago to make my toddlers Soy milk . I was buying a vanilla soy which he really really likes - but no matter what I tried , just couldn't make anything to please his taste buds or even compare .
I also use to make tofu with it , which was interesting .

When making the Soy the water did have to heat to 170 degrees . Plus SOY really isn't good for us ( I have heard )

I tried useing it for Rice milks , and also a few RAW nut mylks ... but once again my little guy just doesn't like homemade compared to the stores .

I then bought my Vita-Mix and it seems to mix up in no time at all - with much less clean up the the SoyQuick . Mine is now packed in a box ready to SELL .

I would really appreciate hearing from others who have PERFECTED with the flavoring .... I have tried , agave , honey , vanilla ,maple syrup and coconut .

maraw ... May I ask what exactely you do or add to your almond mylk so the children actually enjoy it ?? I would luv to get my boy off of SOY and over to almond mylk . The best I can do is hide it in his smoothies ..if we happen to run out he will agree to drink hemp mylk ...that's a start .
thanks for any advice ..

maraw

01-05-2007, 10:10 PM

...and see, I didn't like the mess with the nut milk bags. I tried the Vitamix for a while, but got tired of the bag! I just make it too often for that. The clean up is much easier for me with the SoyQuick.

My kids didn't like it much at first either. It took a couple of months to get use to the transition. However, to the raw nut milk (and my family likes an almond/Brazil nut combo best by the way), I add about 2 tsp. of agave nectar and about 1/2 tsp. sea salt. I sometimes add vanilla, but not always. They are not wild about the vanilla taste - reminds them of ice cream they say, and that doesn't go well with everything...

I hope this helps some.

Thanks for the input everyone!! I am getting tired of the bag as well and I could easily have this in my dorm room and make almond milk in there, along with other milks, like brazil nut.

I like almond milk but Almonds cost about $6.00 us per pound here. Where is a better place to buy that does not cost so much. My family drinks a lot of milk. They like the nut milks but it would just cost sooooo much. Thanks

Yeah, they are pricey here too! I've thought about buying in bulk online or whole sale because of the price!

I understand that nut/seed milk wont taste like cows milk, but which raw milk do you think tastes the best. I've tried almond milk which I dont mind, But Im nervous to try any others :p

Hi maraw~ :)
I was wondering if the almond milk made in the milk maker is any different than that made in the vitamix or is it primarily the ease of making it and clean up that you like most?

berrymarymac

01-06-2007, 01:18 PM

I just bought it for $99.99 only, which I thought was good, and no taxes. So I'll be trying it out when I get back to school!

Hi maraw~ :)

Definitely just the ease part. As I said, I make it almost daily - somewhere around a quart and a half. I just got tired of doing the bag thing. It tastes the same though.

trinity082482: I really like adding to the almonds Brazil nuts and sometimes hazelnuts. My family/kids really like Brazil nut the best.

berrymarymac: I'm glad you bought one, I think you'll be really pleased with it. I wish you had checked with me though - I sell mine for a little less, and there's still no shipping charges or tax because it ships directly from SoyQuick.

Anyhow, I know you are going to love it!

Can anyone tell me how the machine works and the quantity of nuts versus output is? I have yet to invest in any kitchen machines yet...I have a wonderful blender that was a gift, though. I have nut bags, but to be honest I am one heck of a busy/lazy mom and if I have spare time I like to spend it with my family/napping/something that doesnt involve cleaning. :) I am sure you understand! Anyways, I look forward to learning about this nut milk maker. :)

This sounds really great, thanks for sharing guys. I too am really tired of squeezing nut milk bags and cleaning the bags, etc.

Maraw, how much is shipping to Canada for one of these babies?? ;)

I don't suppose anyone knows of a similar type of unit that will make nut butter? I know there are juicers that do it but they're expensive and not in the budget right now. I've thought of trying it in my Vitamix but I don't have a dry container/blade and I'm scared of wrecking the regular blades, LOL.

The only downside of mine is that it leaves very little pulp. So for the almond bread recipe I'm going to have to make almond milk the old-fashioned way.

I like almond, sesame and brazil nut milks best.

Hmmmmm... Does the SoyQuick leave very little pulp too? Because that would mean the milk is more gritty then doing it the nutmilk bag way, and I don't like my nutmilk gritty... :confused:

mongomango

01-06-2007, 03:24 PM

So the pulp is incorporated into the milk?

yes, ditto! I cannot even stand pulp in juices. LOL, either I must have a blended drink or the juice/milk must be totally without any residue.

01-06-2007, 03:26 PM

RawFoodieMom Debra... do you have a food processor? That's what I use to make nut butters. I actually stopped buying jarred tahini because they somehow taste different from brand to brand and once I realized it's MUCH MUCH cheaper to make my own... that's what I do. You can do one of two things. You can just grind the dry nut until it forms into a butter. You'll have to scrape the sides continuously. It's a bit of work but I don't mind it. If the nut butter is for a recipe then I'll just grind it until it's sticking together and use it as is. If you want a creamier nut butter you can add a bit of oil or honey to help it move along. I never do this but have read some recipes online.

trinity082482 Not sure about thicker milk as you are straining it but for different/stronger taste try adding more nuts to the same amount of water.

Bobbie

01-06-2007, 03:45 PM

Yes the pulp is in the milk but its not gritty, its powdery. It tastes like powdered milk.
Sesame leaves pulp, but almonds and brazil, hardly any, and cashew leaves none at all.

(1.6 quarts ) capacity
It has a stainless steel blade and filter cup to which holds 2 cups of soaked nuts ..

I did not find the milk to be grainy at all ... I just haven't perfected the flavoring to please my toddler --- I'll just keep trying

All this talk about the mylk maker , I had to go make myself a batch . I had RO water installed in my house about a month ago - so OH My this does taste much better now , than the Soy I had been making with it before ..
I did as u had suggested , but my wee guy drank about 1 oz. and said " that's enough mommy " :confused:
I used all almonds as thats all I had soaked for today ... Do you use the leftover nut pulp for anything at all ?? I have heard of others dehydrating it and useing later in other dishes . Or do you chop up the whole almonds a bit before you attempt to fill the filter cup ??? That was the most difficult part , just getting it attached .
will add a little more agave for him and see what happens ... :)

Take care when making the nut butters in the food processor. I have found that without taking breaks that the butter heats up to an unacceptable level.

01-06-2007, 05:47 PM

Take care when making the nut butters in the food processor. I have found that without taking breaks that the butter heats up to an unacceptable level.Yes, very good point. I never let anything run too long at a time. With the almond butter, I found I needed to stop and scrape the sides a few times so it didn't have a chance to heat up too much. The almond butter was slightly warm though when I was done, but not too hot. But if I'd let it run longer, it might have gotten too warm. So it's definitely a good thing to keep an eye on.

Yep... same here. I don't let it run long enough to heat up. I like to make it in the food processor because I don't have to add anything. In my K-tec blender I'd have to add oil and I'm not into that... so, until, if ever, I get a homogonizer(sp) juicer, then I'll have to use the food processor. I have a Cuisinart LLP (Little Pro Plus) and it's actually pretty good... never overheats and I use it everyday.

berry, I got the Soyabella for Christmas and it's great. Apparently one of the best out there. It makes nut milk without heat, but is a lot easier to clean up than using the blender and a nut milk bag. Very easy clean-up. I put soaked figs in with the almonds, and it handles it fine. We also make soymilk for my husband with it, but that does heat up the beans b/c you really don't want to make soymilk without heat (makes it bitter and hard to digest).

Maraw do you taste any of the nut pulp in the almond milk? Myself and my family don't like any pulpy taste or texture to ours. Can you let me know since we are interested in getting one? Also what do you have to do to clean the machine once you're done? THANKS!

emily

02-10-2007, 02:58 PM

Oh, and I think the figs/almond/agave nectar combination tastes really good - I drink it straight which I don't usually do with nut or soy milk whether it's homemade or store-bought. I tried putting sesame seeds in too, to add more calcium, but it makes it taste a little bitter. Somehow the store's milks seem to taste better, but I don't know why that is, and the idea bothers me. In any case, we're spending about a 1/3 to a 1/5 of what we used to spend on buying nut and soy milks, using no packaging (except, of course, the box the soyabella came in) and really enjoying making our own. I hugely recommend it. www.soyabella.com.

Do you have leftover pulp using a nut milk maker? I love using almond pulp flour in recipes...but I hate using a nut milk bag. I'm curious to buy YET ANOTHER appliance :rolleyes: Maybe I'm a junky.;)
I love almond milk with dates blended in.
For the mom of the toddler who won't drink almond milk: Maybe try blending the nutmilk with a fresh or frozen banana...with agave, etc....to make it sweeter?? My kids love banana smoothies. His could be mostly milk....with alittle banana?? OR even another of his favorite fruits??? Good luck.

Trinity, I've never been much of a 'milk' drinker but I did read somewhere that if you want a creamer or thicker nut milk that you should use less water. Try that and let us know!

The only thing is...the pulp is very wet. Do you fill it up to the top with nuts or about halfway up?

I usually let mine drain in the cup for about 10-15 more minutes. Then I dump the contents on a teflex and dehydrate for about 10 hours - throw the remains in a freezer bag and leave it for pie crusts, cookies and cinnamon rolls.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it. :)

Yes I gathered it was the American electric-thingy-majigs they hadn't got right yet. The people who make it sound very ethical and I think on the leaflets guide they recommended people eat a raw diet, which is rare and nice to see. But I think they're a small company - my machine says mold where it should say mode!

My praise for the yaoh was intended to be praise for any nut maker, I'm sure they're pretty much the same. I'd recommend anyone buy one.

Does anyone know if its possible to make raw milk from sprouted soya beans?

Hi Bobbi,
I guess it is possible to use your Yaoh to make soya milk, but soya should always be fermented before eating, and only taken in small doses, ie. occassionally or daily in a small amount. You could possibly ferment the milk... or beans first..
I expect Tim at Yaoh will know.

I just made my first batch of almond milk with this amazing machine and I am soooo impressed!! It is equal in quality of machine and product produced to my Vitamix and Champion juicer. (Although for making different things!) And I am so glad I bought it!

Quick and easy to make and clean up. In fact I thought it might go through more cycles so I watched and waited, but nope it was done and ready.

For those who have this, I read on page 10 about how to disable the heating unit and assume I did it right as nothing heated up at all. So you press the motor button 4 times and then the start button. That is really all there is to it??

Amazing, another wonderful fun kitchen gadget to play with. Thank you Anna for offering this at such a great price, I will get tons of use out of it!

OK, now I'm thinking of getting one of these, too. My 15 month old is suddenly averse to the texture of smoothies, and I had been putting the nuts or seeds right into the smoothies rather than making him "milk" separately. I bought some boxed soymilk just to test him and he loved it, while he rejects even a smoothie made from just bananas and strawberries, his favorite foods! It's kind of sad because for a few months he was guzzling the greenest of smoothies in under 60 seconds!

Parents of toddlers: what are some favorite nut milks? I hope to avoid the expense of having to order truly raw almonds...would it be better to use pasteurized almonds or is there another seed/nut that children seem to go for? Most anything is probably better than store milk or soy milk...I tried straining homemade sunflower milk and nobody would drink it even sweetened nicely...hemp was not much better, though my 2-year-old accepted it after I added cocoa and some banana.

I tried useing it for Rice milks , and also a few RAW nut mylks ... but once again my little guy just doesn't like homemade compared to the stores .

I then bought my Vita-Mix and it seems to mix up in no time at all - with much less clean up the the SoyQuick . Mine is now packed in a box ready to SELL .

I would really appreciate hearing from others who have PERFECTED with the flavoring .... I have tried , agave , honey , vanilla ,maple syrup and coconut .(Going through old threads looking for almond pulp and flour stuff ...)

Wow, that's a toughie. I love the milk and once you get weened from the store stuff, _nothing_ tastes as good as the real deal, imho!

I find the trick is having the right amount of sweetener first and foremost! I make "date paste" as I call it. I have a Magic Bullet, so just dump pitted, "cooking" dates into it (that's the kind I use, that's their name) and then fill with water to just cover. Put the cover on the blender cup and put in fridge door and come back 24 hours later and it's ready. Pop the blade on the MB blender cup and whir it up and, voilà, date paste.

Agave nectar would work, but it's just so expensive for this type of thing. When there's not a lot else but the liquid and the sweetener, i.e., lemonade, I'll use agave nectar. But with nut mylks with banana or other, date paste is the easiest and cheapest way to go that still tastes great!

To another MB blender cup and when I'm ready to drink I'll add almond mylk, about 2 T of date paste and any "flavourings" I want like a whole banana or 1-2T carob and whir it all up and it's great! Nothing on this earth, to me, tastes as good!

Good luck! :)

I saw this question asked a couple of times, but if there was a clear answer I overlooked it.

How does the end-product compare in texture to commercial soymilk?
Do any particles settle to the bottom in the refrigerator?
How does it compare to nut milk made in a vitamix and filtered through a nut bag?
How does it compare to nut milk made in a vitamix and not filtered at all?

Whoops. That's four questions, isn't it? All replies appreciated!

Thanks,

Susan
