I can't answer your question but I do know this Waring MBB520 motor burned up in less than a year I put it in the garbage.

Not enough power to make nut butter easily. You would have to add extra oil.

Yes. I put almonds in it to make almond milk. I just have to add them in with water. If you want to make nut butter you'd have to use the mincer attachment.

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.

Get a Cuisinart food processor. They are amazing, and worth every penny. I have a 14 cup size, but you can get something as small as a 7 cup and it will still work for you. Good luck! I make nut butters all the time. The motor on this grinder is not meant for that work.

Hi DukeofURL sure you can ' ALMOND & peanut butter ... For the almond you need lots of patience takes like 20 to 30 minutes to the almonds to release the oils ... In the Peanut department it's way more easy and fast just make sure the peanut selection is very fresh and make intervals so you can scrap the sides and run it again ! Good look. Be healthy

As someone said, this juicer handles seeds without problem. So, if you're wondering whether you can juice fruit without removing seeds, you definitely can (watermelon, apples, oranges, lemons, etc). But, if you want to get the essence of the seed (like grape seed oil), this juicer can't do it. In fact, the instruction manual says you can make nut butters (peanut, almond, etc), I tried and all I made was a huge mess, and I wasted a lot of money in nuts.

I have not used it to make peanut butter from raw nuts, but it did puree dried figs (quartered and soaked in Marsala) very nicely. It should work on nuts.

No but you can make delicious amazing nut butters with a food processor or the vitamix.

Not sure what you're trying to make, but I'd say no. I put in peanuts (only), turn it on, and get peanut butter. I'm not making any additions, nor is there anyway to grind the nuts less. It is good peanut butter though.

Absolutely anything. salsas, mole, one of my relatives used to even make peanut butter. It is very versatile.

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

There are a few online videos about making nut butter with this product. I have not personally made any but for the most part the nut butter comes out more chunky. If you want a smooth nut butter you should use a food processor.

It makes less noise than your typical non-professional blender but it does make quite a bit of noise, nothing too significant. Yes, it can make nut butter, peanut butter is easy but almond butter is a bit more complicated to do.

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, 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.).

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

You can make "ghee" using a centrifuge, using raw butter...but that technically makes it butter oil, since it is almost a perfect method of seperation. and you also lose the nutty flavor from the traditional heating process used.
