Has anyone tried frothing almond milk?

No, but I would like to give it a try. Trader Joe's vanilla is an almond milk we like. Sorry to take so long to reply. The notice was buried in to much e-mail...

Yes. The frother will froth Almond milk, however, Soy works better. Moreover, I would guess Almond milk's frothing abilities differ by brand. For instance, with Soy, Organic Valley froths better than some varieties of Silk. I just tried the Silk brand Almond milk and the result was acceptable, but nowhere as good as I can get it with Soy. Coconut milk frothes the least well.

Sure, that is all I use. It works best if you warm up the milk on the stove until it steams but do not let it boil!

No, but its my understanding that the right fat % is what makes it froth well. I tried with a dash of cream in my 2% milk and it wouldn't froth. Usually froths really nice with the 2% alone.

I've been using it for almond milk and half and half. It works better on half and half but still works ok with the almond milk. Works best when the milk is warmed up too.

You can froth both almond milk and soy milk. Someone mentioned earlier that the Almond Breeze brand froths much better than the Silk brand.

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

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

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!'

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.

Yes, it should work satisfactorily with Almond Milk, but some brands of milk froth better than others.

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!

I tried it on almond soy. The frother worked well. I just don't care for soy. lol

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

I'm sorry I don't know, I looked this up on Yahoo! and found that soy milk can be frothed but that the quality will suffer due to the fat content. Hope this helps :-)

I have used almond milk many times with good success. And no accommodations were needed. I have never tried coconut milk.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk. The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank. I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk. If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers. Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it. (I'd be surprised)

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.
