Do I need an attachment to make nut butters?

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.

No. go to the manufacturer's website, "championjuicerdotcom", under recipes tab download manual, will give all details

There is a youtube video which almonds were soaked overnight and then poured into juicer into nut butter. The almonds were put through the attachment it comes with, like in the picture.

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of almond butter.

This machine can make nut butters with the mincing feature. For best results you should soak your nuts for several hours in water to soften them before processing.

It could grind nuts into a powder or fine grist @ least. As for butter... I'm not surehow it would handle the addition of liquid??? You would then have to PRESS the butter down and into the shoot.

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 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.

The manufacturer says you can make peanut butter with this unit. However, if that is all you want to make, I would look at a different solution. This is primarily a "juicer" that has parts to allow you to make peanut butter.

I use it every other day to make Pommogranate juice. I also tried other berries like Blue-, Black- or Rasberry. But it didn't work outo. I never tried any nut butters. Sorry Rainer

I have only used my for nuts and spices. I have no idea about peanut butter. It's a great machine...

It has plenty of power for nuts. You might have to use pulse mode to mix the nuts up more evenly. IfYou are trying to make peanut butter the problem is it gets so thick it doesn't fall down on the blades so you have to stop and push.

You'll need a nut cracker or you can use a rubber mallet like I do! So good!

No, it doesn't. But it is not needed. I think the small grains attachment is more expensive than it really is. It's only a bottle with holes. You just need a common plastic bottle, like yogurt bottle of 8oz: make a few holes at the bottle's edge (where you pull the lid off), then put it in the hopper, turn it on, then throw the grains into the hopper. It is really simple ;)I hope this helps!

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.

I don't think grinding would be appropriate....unless you are making nut butter.....Mine seems quiet compared to the whine of my Hamilton Beach...which I also loved.

This juicer does not have the proper attachment for making nut butters. The Omega line of juicers, namely the J8003 or J8005 models, contain the proper accessory for that. It called a homogenizer or homogenizing blank - rather than let juice or pulp through a screen, the homogenizer functions as more of a slow blender, creating nut butters or baby food. Hope this helps!
