Does this frother work with unsweetened almond/coconut milk?

Yes! I use it for Chai as well. It is simply adding air to the liquid this causing a frothing effect. And it works great.

Hello Tiffany, I use this to make coconut flour (in the food processor) and combine it with almond flour to make cookies every week. I'm sure you can use it to make coconut milk. You can use your blender to mix the shredded coconut and water until smooth. If you want to make a little sweet, add a little raw honey. Here is a link with instructions I found on the web. I'm going to try this at home as well (my husband can't have dairy).

I don't know. I make dairy yoghurt with whole milk. Coconut milk would likely make a very sweet yoghurt as coconut milk is in itself very sweet but whether the starter would work (I use Bulgarian starter which is meant for dairy milk and the one that comes with the Yogotherm) and if the temperatures needed would be the same are questions I can't answer. You might investigate starter cultures before purchasing a yoghurt maker.

I used unsweetened coconut milk and it seemed to work well. It did turn out a bit grainy so I'm not sure what I did to cause that to happen.

Haven't tried that but I have used chocolate milk which worked perfectly. I see no reason it wouldn't froth almond milk.

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

Yes it works with canned coconut milk! You let it settle out in the refrigerator, pour the liquid off the top and use the thick cream from the bottom.

Yes, but it doesn't always come out as thick; sometimes your grains will get all temperamental when you switch things up on them (like even just switching milk brands can throw them off a batch or two). I use mine to make almond milk kefir and coconut milk kefir but it only ever comes out thicker if I add a tsp or 2 of coconut sugar (separation happens regardless). Sugar and minerals are what kefir grains ultimately feed on, which is why I add a tiny amount of coconut sugar (it's rich in minerals). It's also a good idea to do milk batches every once in a while, otherwise they'll starve.

I Have tried this with the almond milk and I didn't like it, didn't do so well. My problem with this frother is that the finish is coming off and I don't like that even though I don't scrub it with anything harsh. Love the way it froths tho. Wish I could get one with a stainless steel finish.

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)

I'm sure that it can froth powdered milk, since I use it solely for powdered cocoa. I froth in a mug everynight.

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.

I haven't tried it that way, though I usually shake my milk before pouring it into a mug to heat it, then I transfer the milk to the frother, fill my mug with coffe, and pour the warm frothed milk onto my coffee. I use a ratio of about 3:1, almond milk and flavored half&half; (usually coffeemate); It works fine for my expectations of a latte with froth on top. If you want a cappaccino, then I don't think this device is a good fit. I'm very happy with a bit of froth on top...very much like when you order a latte from a coffee shop. Hope that helps!

I never tried froathing with almond milk. Can't hurt to try. For the price, this one can't be beat.

Again, depends on how yoou define 'problem.' It's not the hottest you will find but reasonable. You need to clean the inside well then let it air dry or hand dry. Surprisingly, I found that real soy milk froths better than regular milk-almond milk, not so much.

For what it's worth, I have an Aeroccino and the almond frothing there is finicky and spotty, too - sometimes it's great, sometimes not - often depends on the brand of milk (but now, after about 1 1/2 years, none seems to work well...)
