is it good for almonds?

I have used the Texan York Nut cracker on pecans and it worked real well cracking the nuts. I have not done many almonds yet I know the blades are quite sharp and would do almonds very well. you will not go wrong with this cracker. It will work good for you.

I just used it for at least fifty almonds. I've tried different ways to open the shells, and because they're usually soft, it's kind of cumbersome. You can still open the almonds just fine, but they might get a little "stuck" since the shells are again, soft.

It will work great for almonds. Just cut the large end and the nut will slip right out.

I have used this product for baking almond bread, and it's fine- I did not encounter any problems and the flavor was good.

Probably, although I haven't had occasion to use it for nuts. Have mostly used it for parsley, onions, carrots, other veggies.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

Yes, we can guarantee that. Feel free to contact us via the contact seller link Amazon provides if you should have an issue with your almonds. I think that reviewer must have gotten a missing bag or another customer's return, which again is Amazon's policy. Unfortunately, the reviewer never contacted us so we could attempt to resolve the issue.

No you should not do it , because manufacturer suggest that you should not grind anything that has oil as far as I know almond does contain oil.

it's big enough for many nuts. we're using it for almond milk, and can accommodate about 3 cups of almonds after hydration. that is - 3 cups of dry almonds, hydrated and ground fit just fine.

Yes but you have to watch it closely so that the blades don't grind the almonds further down to a denser consistency.

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.

It can make coarse almond flour, but it's not going to be fine like the stuff you would buy. I have used it for that and the coarse flour works fine for me.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

I use this mainly for gluten free baking, I would say no ...this almond meal/flour should not directly replace regular wheat/white flour, depends on your recipe(s)

I have not tried it - but my vegetarian daughter says you can use it successfully on Almond Milk.

I only have used this grinder on almonds. It is very easy to clean if you do it immediately. Hot, soapy water does the trick. The outer surface is not as shiny as when new, but a metal polish may fix that. Be careful that the glass jar does not become unattached during use. Just carry by the bottom. Enjoy!

I use mine to make almond flour all the time. It's perfect, and you get the benefit of the almond "skin" unlike in your store bought almond flours. If you run it too long you can get close to making almond butter.

Hmmm I doubt it. I've never tried to make almond flour, but it seems best suited for coffee beans and spices.

Yes! It works great in a fruit smoothie. You can also just add it to almond milk, but it is not as tasty.
