How is it for making nut milks?

I'm not sure. It comes with more of a chopping blade, I sourced a blending blade (sharper blades) from a different Krups blender, that would probably be your best bet. The motor is very strong though, and very quiet.

I used it mainly for blending ice for smoothies, and it was great. I used it daily though and wore it out in a year. now I have a vitamix and love it.

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

I make nut milk by soaking raw almonds in purified water until they are barely sprouted. They crack open and you will see a small sprout peeping out. I take the sprouted almonds and put them in my vitamix and add more purified water depending on the amount of almonds you used and blend until the consistency of milk. Start with one cup of almonds and cover with purified water until sprouted over night and then blend with soak water and add water 1/2 cup at a time until it is the consistency you desire. Then strain with the nut bag. Save any nut debrie and add to cookies etc.

I've only made almond milk with mine. It comes out cold as I start with cold distilled water. Making milk only grinds the nuts you've soaked overnight and combines the "juice of the nut" with the water. There is no heat in this process. Maybe doing something else with it uses heat.

I grind seeds and nuts with no problem to make different nut milks. I start with the seeds or nuts without water and it turns it into very fine meal. I then add water and it turns it into milk. My wife just puts the water and nuts in together and it works just as well.

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

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

It's not too bad if you mix it with a little almond milk. I was mixing it with juice like they suggested and it was terrible.

I personally haven't tried it for making cheese and don't know what the process involves. I have only used it to make nut milks and have had good results. The mesh appears very strong and able to hold up against a good deal of pressure from squeezing. Don't know if that helps.

Sorry to get back to you late. I haven't tried almond milk but it works great with 2% and Soy milk, so I would think it would have no problem. As long as its still a liquid and not a pulp. But it is really strong, for example if you have it going and you touch the bottom it'll buzz your finger, and keep going. It doesn't stop easily. I've whipped through a marshmallow, thick coco powder, its fast enough to create froth so I think it should work for your purposes. I hope this helped! :)

I use almond milk usually. I also use Califia Farms toasted coconut and almond milk and it tastes like a vanilla shake.

I would not use this grinder to make nut butters. (I make my own nut butters all of the time, in my 14 c. Cuisinart Food processor, which does an amazing job. In my experience, you need at least a 7 cup food proc. to make any nut butter). This little grinder is not meant for the motor to be running for as long as it takes to make nut butter.

No I have never used it to make nut butters however I've used the whip attachment to make mayonnaise? I would think you would use the multi-purpose blade to break up the nuts to a paste, then may be use the mincer or something to smooth it out? Probably would help to use a tall narrow vessel such as the 600 mL beaker.

I never tried to make almond milk but it does pulverize things to the point of almost turning onions into a liquid. A blender might be better for almond milk.

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.
