Will this work for making almond milk? Trying to avoid using a bag.

I understand that, I'm always looking for alternative ways to do things! It would probably work alright. The holes are a little big for a serious filter, but once you got some almond meal over the sieve, it would help act as a filter. If you wanted it more finely filtered, you could pour the milk through a very fine sieve. It would depend on how you felt about a little almond meal in the final product. It would be easy to clean. Be sure and save and reuse the almond meal. If you were worried about keeping it too long, you could freeze it! :-)

I have been making almond milk for years and I have just run it under hot tap water changing to cold water until it rinses clean. I really don't want to get soap in it. I started using my old bag to strain my kale/apple drink and it is a world of improvement. Now, that stains but I will use that exclusively for the kale stuff. I would never let it sit after using it because it will "sour", not good.

Maybe, but you might try using a regular juicer for coconut milk, too. You can make awesome almond milk and rice milk though!

I did not make coconut milk...I use it to make almondmilk...I soaked 1 cup of almonds overnight...and then drained and rinsed them...put them in a blender with dash of salt and 6 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract and with 4 fresh medjool dates to sweeten...blended for 2 min. ...poured slowly through bag...delicious!

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, I use them all the time to make almond milk. I just soak them overnight and they work great!

I'm having the same problem. I bought this specifically to froth almond milk and it doesn't at all - not even close.

You certainly could, but then you wouldn't have good air flow and I think it would leave a mess in your refrigerator. It would not be my recommendation. However, I have considered (but not yet tried) using one for a extra large nut milk bag...why not? The size is great for a double batch and they wash and dry well on a rack.

Hello Tiffany, I use this to make coconut flour (in the food processor) and combine it with almond flour to make cookies every week. I'm sure you can use it to make coconut milk. You can use your blender to mix the shredded coconut and water until smooth. If you want to make a little sweet, add a little raw honey. Here is a link with instructions I found on the web. I'm going to try this at home as well (my husband can't have dairy).

Yes. It will work much better than putting whole almonds through a blender or food processor. Just make sure you get the BLANCHED almond meal flour.

Yes, I think so. I use it to with almond milk to make naturally flavored coffee creamers and I have had to cut down on the amount of coconut I use because it is so intense.

I haven't used it for that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. There is a little lip on the outside edge, too, which would help prevent any spillage before the milk was frozen.

I make my almond milk with it, but if you squeeze too hard it can tear and break thru. It Is pretty tough stuff and good quality for the price. I would buy again.

You can lock the mechanism that pushes the bag forward, so it won't smash the bags with the spring. That would allow you to store the non-frozen milk. I locked it in the freezer too.

I have only made almond milk. If you want me to tell you how to do that, I would be happy to.

I tried almond milk for my first batch, and it didn't work at all. Maybe operator error, but I thought I followed all instructions. I've also not seen almond milk mentioned in the various makers' list of what milks are workable.Jim Heckman
