Does this work well for making almond milk?

I found it to be ok...I was not happy with how it made green smoothies or almond milk so I upgraded to a vitamix. This is a good blender for the price but if you are doing recipes like almond milk and any other raw recipes you may want to consider a more powerful blender.

I have never made almond milk, but I bet it would work well. Makes amazing hummus.

I tried with Almond Milk from the Fresh Market (house brand), I used the big round device and turn on the froth bottom. It created a lot of foam. I hope you get good result.

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.

It works great for making almond butter. It comes out super creamy. I use raw almonds and do not add anything else.

I have tried a non-dairy creamer and it did work. Sometimes it works better to warm it first. I think the Almond Milk would work.

Almond milk will froth successfully . Just make sure you are using the coiled frothing attachment for your machine.

Yes...I absolutely love this machine. I mostly make almond milk. I also make cashew creamer for my coffee. I line my strainer with cheesecloth when I strain. Tastes so much better than store bought. This is my 2nd machine-the other is a Joyoung from Amazon and I like it just as well. My first one is still kicking after 2 years of constant use and I still use it when I want to make 2 batches at once.

It depends. You definitely save money making your own almond milk (it's about $1 to make a carton's worth). But what you get is different. You add sweetener yourself, it separates easily, and, depending on how well you soaked the almonds, it can come out grainy. You might have to try a few batches before you get a recipe that suits you. Mine has paid for itself a few times over (i've saved so much money, it's amazing!), but I could see some giving up after a few tries.

I tried the almond milk and it didn't froth up very well for me. So far my favorite is Lactose Free Milk which I heat in microwave about 20-25 seconds and then froth up....yum.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!

I have tried heating soy milk and it turned a little grayish and separated a little. Almond milk works better.

My daughter used it with Almond Milk and she said it didn't work as well as with regular milk.

No. I haven't had any problems with that, the seal is really tight. We make almond milk, and it settles, and my daughter (14) does the shaking. I LOVE this item, and having read other reviews, clearly I wouldn't 'make' hot items in it. But duh! It only took me 2 reviews to figure that out! : ) Bottom line, it looks and feels great, and fits nicely in the milk door shelf. Hope this helps!

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything! '

I've used it to make peanut butter, but not almond butter. Really great machine for everything I've tried.

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.

It died early, but they sent me another one. It works better with milk with fat in it than on nonfat. I haven't had great luck with soy or almond milk.
