Will this unit make nut butters? I'd like to make my own ABC Butter - Almond, Cashew and Brazil nut butter and if so does it make it nice and smooth?

My experience is thatthat it does a wonderful job off smooth nut butter. Lots of videos demonstrating that very thing.Bob

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.

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 make nut butters using a earlier version of this processor, and I accidentally stumbled onto the key to making almond butter in a flash (works with other nuts, too.) I microwaved 3/4 cup roasted almonds (raw works, too) until they were quite warm, but not hot. I put them immediately into the food processor bowl and started it up. I stepped away for a few minutes to make a cup of coffee -- thinking that even with the warm nuts it would take at least 10 minutes to make butter. However, when I stepped back the butter was done! Using the pre-heated method makes smooth butter in a few minutes, with no danger of over-heating the motor.

Oh yea! My wife makes almond butter in this weekly. You will not regret spending the money on this.

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.

The Cuisinart is junk. I bought one and it will not do nuts without jamming the blade. It certainly wouldn't do butter of any kind. It is ok as a spice grinder but for anything else its junk. Carol

I'm sure you could, We made chocolate and it turned out very smooth, Nut butter would probably turn out good. You would probably want to pre-grind the nuts a little but cause large pieces can bind the machine up. the texture you get would probably be close to nuttella as opposed to peanut butter.

It is golden delicious goodness. If you have the idea of a nut butter in your mind--peanut butter, almond butter, etc., now think of a butter made from cinnamon graham crackers. It is to die for. If you like using nutella, as an example, you will love this--not that it's chocolate, but it's so darn good. And if you don't like it, guaranteed someone in your family will.

It takes many, many nuts to make butter. Best to use a food processor. I make sunbutter and pistachio butter often, but I wouldn't ever consider making it in the mortar.

With the Tribest SW-2000-B Slow Star Juicer you use the mincing attachment to make nut butters. The mincing attachment uses the auger and not the screen. When you run nuts through the machine with the mincing attachment on, the nuts will come out almost powdery the first time through. You may want to run the nut ingredients through up to 5 times to get a creamy consistency. The more you run the nut mixture through, the creamery it gets. You also may want to add a little neutral tasting oil to you nut butter to increase the creaminess. Many commercial nut butters have added oil. The oil can be added when the nuts go through the machine or after you are done running the nuts through the machine. I hope this information helps you. VeggieSensations

I don't typically make nut butters, but I can't imagine why this food processor couldn't handle the job. It performs just as well as any other (heavier and more expensive) food processor I've ever owned.

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.

I bought mine awhile ago..I was not happy with this brand..I found it to be very runny..I prefer Artisana Raw Organic Nut Butters...Much better

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.

You don't need anything else. Just follow the instruction. I only did 2 nut butters. I use it mostly for single serving of smoothies
