I have ground almonds to make almond flour for macarons using only small batches

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

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.

I have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

I don't really know. I'm guessing this won't work but if you have another recipe you can use the nuts for, in case it doesn't make peanut butter, I'd say go for it. I do bet a good food processor might give you something akin to peanut butter, however.Perhaps there are attachments for this machine that will do that; just don't know.

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

It can make coarse almond flour, but it's not going to be fine like the stuff you would buy. I have used it for that and the coarse flour works fine for me.

Ok, I did get chance to try the chopper to attempt to make some almond butter. It did struggle with the nuts. I pulsed it until it had a chance to break down some of the nuts and then turned it to full "on" button and the unit sort of wobbled to where I had to hold on to it to stabilize it. So, I would say that for this sort of thing, you would definitely need something a bit more powerful. Hope this helps. I actually learned something myself trying this out. :)

I've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

I find it works very well. Just make sure you use a recipe that calls for two cups of flour only. I use it for making biscuits and one pie crust. Butter blends in just as good as in the larger units.

I've used this processor to make almond butter without problem. Depending on if your almonds are raw or roasted will determine the processing time. I've let this thing run about 15 minutes and it does get warm. I immediately clean the bowls, lids and blades after use and if you're making butter be extra attentive to where food particles can lodge.

Yes, it is suppose to make nut butters; however, I have not made any yet. I can't imagine there would be any problems. This machine is fantastic.

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.

I would think so. Haven't tried mincing except nuts and you would keep pulsing it until you get the texture you want. Love my bosch Universal Plus and the attachments. Just made an Ultimate chocolate chip cookie, oreo, brownie bars. Yum. What breeze with this machine.

No. The unit really heats up. So you'd have nut butter, but not really as the machine would likely seize up. It was only designed for wheat, rice, bean flours and the like. Honestly, as I don't eat beans rice or wheat anymore, I got rid of the machine.

Yes, very easily. Be careful though, it chops things so quickly that you may have walnut, almond, pecan, peanut butter! Enjoy it.

I just read a review by some other customer about this product different brand "Compact Table Top Grinder -110volts 2 Ltrs". She has already bought and tried it for producing nut butter. I have copy pasted her question/comment. Since she has already bought it, You can probably ask her user experience. Normally, in my country we use this primarily for grinding soaked rice, lentils, beans and black gram etc. 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...
