Can one make bean paste, such as red bean? If so, which setting is ideal for that?

Well, I guess the bean paste is too thick for this machine to make. consider this machine will boil/heat the combination of crushed beans, sufficient water is a key element. Too less water will cause demage to the pot itself. I made soy milk with this machine and it works pretty good, every time after the soy milk is filtered out there are some gounded beans left, that is very thick, like a paste. But that is a by-product.

The paste is spicy. If you follow te recipe you'll get all the heat you need. The red is the most, followed by the yellow, then the green. Add more coconut milk to make it less spicy.

We use it for spice. Not sure, but think it would depend on how moist and fibrous the bean.

I use Trader Joe's French Roast and grind it to an expresso grind ... very fine ... I serve it at my B&B; and everyone loves it. Just be careful to keep all the grinds in the container and don't allow any to get caught between the container and its cover, or it will make a mess. Use any kind of coffee you like ... not instant!

The indgredients list is: Water, soybeans, rice, salt, ethyl alcohol. Soy bean paste is basically fermented, ground soybeans, preserved with salt. The rice is probably rice flour, to give the miso a paste consistency.

Have no idea what kind of beans are used. I found it mild actually. It mixes well for pancakes.

This coffie maker has no provision for actually grinding beans. You can use either canned ground coffie or fresh beans at your grocery store. Be sure you grind fresh beans at the store and rebag. You could also purchase a grinder to grind fresh beans at home before using. This coffie maker only uses beans once they are already ground.

Using oily beans will create build up in the grinder that will cause it to fail over time. Medium roasts are best with super automatic machines

I utilize it in about anything I can. If I am feeling like soup I mix if with Bobs Red Mill Bountiful Black Bean Soup Mix...cook it in chicken stock seasoned with bay leaves, salt, white pepper, onion, garlic, but before all that I render some bacon in the pan. I also use this in Rice and in stews.

Yes, this can be also called Kochujang and is what you are looking for. But note that Gochujang is hot pepper paste while miso is sweet bean paste.

All of the recipes specify the proportions for a variety of bean dishes adapted just to this cooker. The exterior of the cooker then lets you press a button that automatically times the cooking to the type of bean you have selected. I have a pressure cooker as well but never used it for bean recipes from raw-bean stage after finding it burned a layer on the bottom the first time I tried. I just fine the bean cooker easier, more resistant to accidental scorching, more convenient for interrupting to add vegetables or rice to the beans, and for some reason easier to clean up. I suppose if you find you can make bean and bean/rice dishes easily on your pressure cooker, you'd find this cooker unnecessary.

I suppose it depends on the consistency you desire. The unit is designed to make fine powderish-like product from things like coffee beans, dried rice etc. If you want the herbs "chopped" this is probably not the right product.

You can choose any coffee bean. There is a wide variety available from different countries, roasted as indicated on the product. You may even get the beans loose in some outlets. You have a good machine. Your taste preference will decide for you. All coffee, prepared properly, tastes good. Go brave, have fun.

I don't use the default settings, but rather use times recommended in instruction booklet. When I've encountered undercooked product, I just add a few more minutes manually. I've noticed differences in degree cooked, tho using same type of bean, from one product name to the other; also notice differences with changes of ambient temp & humidity. Be sure you're using amount of water recommended in the instruction booklet, and don't forget to add the oil... Hope this helps.

Yes, I'm made it several times with garbanzo beans. To get it really smooth, you've got to let it go for a few minutes.

Yes just cut them in half except for about a half inch so it stays together. You can scrape out the inside of the beans and add it in separately but it works fine without scraping too

Sure, my wife and I do that all the time. I figure it's better to keep beans in the bag rather than sitting in the hopper, and plus we switch between regular and decaf. You get used to about what level to pour the beans to in order to make different amounts.
