Can you make almond butter with this machine?

I've used it to make peanut butter, but not almond butter. Really great machine for everything I've tried.

Sorry, but don't know. Simply have never tried using it for this, or any other butters yet. Great for everything we have tried thus far though.

Yes. But it will take at least a half hour with the "s" blade. Almond butter is not a quick process.

I have pulverized almonds to a fine powder in it, but it never attains the consistency of a butter.

Yes, you can. The time will vary, but as long as you keep at it, this machine will make almond butter. At first it will look like a lot of chopped nuts, possibly powder. Let it continue. It'll start looking clumpy and slightly wet. After a while, it becomes smooth. Mine takes less than 15 minutes.

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

Yes, does a great job making almond butter. I've not made peanut butter, but have the impression that almond butter is more challenging for a food processor. I've made it (almond butter) 3 or 4 times. It takes about 12-15 minutes, & doesn't seem to stress the machine. (I do let it rest in ~30 second increments after running for 1 - 1.5 minutes at a time, just to avoid any problems). Once it reaches creamy consistency, let it go for another 1.5 - 2 minutes & it'll get creamier (& easier to stir into other foods, etc.).

I haven't made almond butter with them yet. But I would at least soak then rinse them before grinding.

Yes.. I made almond butter today. It takes probably 10 minutes or so. It first grinds to a powder then you have to scrape and blend more, scrape and blend more and continue. I let it rest after a while but it never smelled hot. After a while you will begin to see the oil appear. Continue a few more times.. Perfect almond butter. Be patient.

Yes! And it tastes amazing! About two measures (it comes with a measuring cup) of almonds, water and ca. 15 minutes in the machine. Best almond milk ever. I love it.

No it does not make but butter. It is predominantly used to make batter using rice and different kind of dhals. This batter can be used to make dosa or idli

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.

I have made almond butters that are amazing. I did have to add oil, just as with a Vitamix. Almonds are hard, and more difficult to process than other nuts. I tried soaking raw almonds and it did not work. just became a gooey mess which I threw out. With the roasted almonds I find I have to pulse manually and use the stick, and it takes longer than the advertised minute. But, end result is great. Cleaning is easy. warm water a drop of dish soap and use the cleaning program. Then again with just warm water.

Yes you can, I regularly make nut butters. For me it takes about 20mins at the most to get the nuts I've used so far to a smooth consistency (peanuts, hazelnuts). The blades do get build-up from process, so if you plan on making several batches, just wash the blades between batches in order to get the best results each time.

It takes many, many nuts to make butter. Best to use a food processor. I make sunbutter and pistachio butter often, but I wouldn't ever consider making it in the mortar.

I make nut butters using a earlier version of this processor, and I accidentally stumbled onto the key to making almond butter in a flash (works with other nuts, too.) I microwaved 3/4 cup roasted almonds (raw works, too) until they were quite warm, but not hot. I put them immediately into the food processor bowl and started it up. I stepped away for a few minutes to make a cup of coffee -- thinking that even with the warm nuts it would take at least 10 minutes to make butter. However, when I stepped back the butter was done! Using the pre-heated method makes smooth butter in a few minutes, with no danger of over-heating the motor.

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

We tried it and it does grind almond. We like this machine , it is durable and easy to use. Nahla

Yes you can make almond milk. It is very good. Just remember to push the mill button not the milk button. It's very fast.And my children can run it. We are happy with our Soyabella. Linda

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!
