Hello from Australia , This was a fantastic video thankyou , ive had my machine for a few months now and have been watching youtubes before i try it and i have to say yours was the best explained thanks so much :)

[@the-gadgeteer]

Hi Kerry, you are very welcome. Have you tried it? Like it? I'm still loving mine!

Does it come out smooth it looks like it doesn't have a strainer

[@hairypawter8475]

Im also wondering if it comes out smooth, does the machine strain it?

Thank you for info. I'm definitely getting one if these babies.

[@gracierivs5621]

Thank you for your excellent demo. I really appreciate the clarity. I have one "on order" but I don't feel good about the lid being plastic, rather than glass. Perhaps I misunderstood, can you repeat if the lid is glass. I don't like to drink or eat substance that has been exposed to any heated plastics. Also I have the concern that a prior comment was made about the blades rusting which might create oxidation to the fresh nut milks. Perhaps I'm too petty and could just cold press nuts the hard way, but I'm still excited about giving this new advanced milk maker a fair chance.

[@the-gadgeteer]

The pitcher's lid is plastic but I don't think the liquid really touches it during the milk making process. As for the blades, they do get a bit discolored over time, but I think if you would get a small brush and scrub them a bit before the cleaning process, that would take care of it.

Julie, can you add more almonds to make thicker/creamier milk? Saw a comment for their sister model would show error message w/more nuts or beans. TY!

The most I ever tried was a heaping 2 tablespoons.

Where is the pulp going?

There isn't any.

[@drich7437]

All around a bad item My family bought this for Christmas for me. I tried it and it worked the first 5 times. I did 1/2 recipes. Then it threw an error code of e15, call the manufacturer. They would not talk to me because I did not purchase it. My son finally talked then into replacing. They asked us to cut the electrical cord and toss. After a long wait we recieved a brand new one. This one only lasted 1 pot before it threw the e15 error. I tried both of them numerous times after the code, but they just don't work. The milk that we got was watered down or chunky. We can no longer return them. Researched a little and they are not designed for use above low altitude. So if you live at 2,000feet it may work. I also did not like that it had to go through the whole milk making process to clean. Each time it would throw an error I would have to unplug it, attempt to clean everything manually and then run a 15 minute cycle to clean it, which usually resulted in another error code. Don't buy

[@debraburgess8665]

Hi I loved your video, but I am looking for information on how to make my almond milk thicker it is a little thin.

[@the-gadgeteer]

Try adding more almonds.

[@MasterKenfucius]

They sell this unit also as Joyoung... same machine. Have you figured out how to separate that "sludge" from the soy milk? I wish I could make it strong and without that thick stuff inside - thin just like the ones from the store.

[@the-gadgeteer]

I don't notice "thick" stuff unless it sets in the refrigerator for several days and then there are particles that separate and float to the bottom.

[@MasterKenfucius]

@@the-gadgeteer Exactly. That's the stuff I don't want. I like the one from the store better because of that. I would filter that stuff out if I could, but it's near impossible.

[@the-gadgeteer]

@@MasterKenfucius They make things called nut bags that are bags made of cotton that you can pour the milk into and then squeeze it out and the larger particles stay in the bag.

[@MasterKenfucius]

@@the-gadgeteer Interesting. I will give that a try. I tried a strainer but it's like trying to separate the liquid from thin yogurt... it just plugs up all the holes and no liquid passes through. Thanks!

[@jenniem6296]

Thank you for the video. I used mine for the first time today. We made coconut milk using shredded coconut per the recipe. The first 10 oz came out nicely then the machine took a long time processing the other 10, but instead of the milk coming out I got an error 15 (grinding compartment heating timeout). It wouldn’t stop beeping so I had to unplug it. The waste water came out the bottom of the machine instead of going into the wastewater bin. Oh and when it first started steaming it shot coconut shreds through the steam valve! Have you tried coconut yet? Maybe I have a defective machine. Thanks!

[@the-gadgeteer]

Yes I have made coconut milk and had no problems like you’ve described.

[@eastmeetswest3330]

The other 10! Yah. Calm down with making it. It’s a machine.

[@foodie4128]

It does not stain it inside does it? I'm thinking if it doesn't strain it it won't be as smooth

[@the-gadgeteer]

It doesn't strain anything. It just blends it very well. I notice almost zero grain/grit (not sure what to call it) when I make almond and soy milks.

[@foodie4128]

@@the-gadgeteer on the out of their video if it looked like there was stuff on the bottom. I have a Vitamix and no matter how long or how hot I use the water if I strain it there's still particles

I am not sure about its availability globally. You might want to contact ChefWave and ask them.

[@AlexAnder-ut9es]

Great review video. This machine is a No for me. Bulky, slow, heats up the product destroying nutrients and overly engineered a simple process.

[@the-gadgeteer]

I agree that it does take up counter space but I still enjoy using it because it's so easy. How do you make non-dairy milks?

[@marshalllake5845]

I agree, Alex. I use a blender to make [any] plant-based milk and I don't strain it, so the fiber is included in the milk. It's fine for me like that.

[@suequinn3468]

You say soy nuts, not soy beans. Can’t you make soy milk from soy beans?

[@the-gadgeteer]

That was a typo (talko?) on my part. I meant to say SOYBEANs instead of SOY Nuts. Sorry for the confusion.

[@YotamGuttman]

andddd? where's the review? how's the texture of the milk? is there any fiber in there? where does the pulp go? can you extract it for baking?

[@the-gadgeteer]

This wasn't a review. It was a demo showing how it works. The actual review is linked in the description.

[@lexyfigueroa5114]

Milk cames cold or hot?

[@saraicontreras2221]

Muy amable en poner los subtítulos en español la veo desde México y me gustó mucho su vídeo.

[@landorasue]

My new Milkmade spews the mixture out the steam vent, down the unit, and all over my countertop. I used 1 tablespoon almonds and 20 ounces water (like the recipe states). In addition to the mess, the Almond Milk is watery and tastes terrible! Any suggestions?

[@808yaya]

I think you need 2 TBS of almonds for 20 0z water, not one. If that doesn't work keep adding a bit more until it tastes good to you. Hope that helps with the watery issue

[@Robdabobsta]

hi there, loved the video. Are you able to tell me. Is the milk filtered or sieved in anyway? Or does the excess pulp that is created come out with the milk itself?

[@the-gadgeteer]

Everything goes into the milk itself. The machine does a very good pulverising everything but there is a tiny bit of particulate.

[@eastmeetswest3330]

Can this be considered ‘raw’ milk?

[@adny02]

I've had mines for several months now. The blade on the inside is showing stains that wont wash out with the auto cleaner. Also the galss (or plastic?) lid shows some residue. I used vinegar as suggested in the manual. but that's not helping much. Is there a way I can take the blade out and scrub the thing myself?

[@the-gadgeteer]

Try pouring some full strength white vinegar into the blade compartment and let it sit for a few mins and then use a toothbrush to scrub the stains. As for the glass lid, I always wipe it out after each use. You might try using a scrubby pad after the cleaning cycle.

[@adny02]

@@the-gadgeteer Thanks! I'll try that!

[@Mamftube]

Great video. Thank you! Is there an option to turn off the heat/use cold water?

[@the-gadgeteer]

No there isn't an option for that.

[@Mamftube]

@@the-gadgeteer Thank you for the prompt response. You are the best.

[@jennykokoful]

Thank you! Question: are you limited to making only the types of milk the buttons allow you to select? For example, if I want to add some black sesame, how much do I add and which type would that fall under?

[@the-gadgeteer]

I've added other things in with the same batch and just use the main ingredient's program.

[@vegangelist]

​@@the-gadgeteer she means doing entirely different ingredients, not just blends. But, to answer that: yes, the cashew or almond setting should work for seed milks. I got one today but it is going back. As nice as it is, I don't want my nut and seed milks heated all the time and there seems to be no way to turn off the steam function. And it takes up a lot of counter space for the amount it makes. My current one makes the same amount and is about the size of a half gallon mason jar

[@the-gadgeteer]

What is the current one that you have?@@vegangelist

[@debbiebell7400]

My instructions say 1 TBS almonds and you use 2. Does 2 provide more of a thicker milk or more almond flavor?

[@the-gadgeteer]

Yes and yes

[@ritamix33]

Thank you for this! Great demo!

[@dawnyang6653]

What's the grinding speed? Does it grind well?

[@the-gadgeteer]

I do'nt have the specs for the RPMs if that's what you want... but it grinds well enough that there's no residue left behind to clean up.

[@Vscounter]

Ever run into a E4 error by chance?

[@the-gadgeteer]

I have not.

[@brookelingottlieb777]

thanks so much for this video. my machine just arrived the other day. loving it so far! I’ve been doing some research but cannot find much on this, do you have any idea if you let the milk cool completely before refrigerating and how long the milks last?

[@the-gadgeteer]

I tend to refridgerate soon after making it. Maybe letting it cool slightly. As for how long it will last, I usually use within a day or 2 at the most and haven't had any issues.

[@sincerelyASL]

Have you tried making oat milk with this machine? Dose the machine cook the oat milk into gooy goop or is the consistency liquid and can drink.

[@the-gadgeteer]

If you drink it soon after making it, the consistency is fine. But if you put it in the fridge for hours or overnight, it can become thick.

[@klevesque]

Can you use soaked almonds?

[@the-gadgeteer]

Sure!

[@mygummybear588]

On your video 2:39 - is the water spraying out from the top lid?

[@the-gadgeteer]

More like steam.

[@Janedoefrommo]

I’d love to see you do oat milk.

[@the-gadgeteer]

I've made oat milk with it and it works fine. However the oat milk is thicker and if you don't drink and put it in the refrigerator it sort of gels over night. I'm sure you can play with oats to water ratio though to prevent that.

[@City-Hiker]

I just bought this machine on the Christmas Day, and just tried it today. What I suggested is that do not place more than 1 cup of nuts into the tank. Otherwise, the milk come out very thick and will make the milk won’t come out, the computer will pop up an error code. In other words, for the best result, it is better to make 1 cup of nut for 10 fl oz a up, and then make the second cup for 10 fl oz if you plan to make you make 20 fl oz of nut milk. This machine is great for cashews milk.

[@the-gadgeteer]

1 cup of nuts is probably too much to add. The recipes call for a max of 2 tablespoons.

[@MineBuildBoom]

As my very first attempt with this machine, I for some reason used your advice, and almond-water mush exploded everyone on my counter, walls, and floors. Thank you.

[@City-Hiker]

@@MineBuildBoom : 1 full cup is too much. Sorry for confusion. You may need to reduced by half.

[@erinfae4276]

[@fapianojewels616]

Thank you for a very good explanation of use. So, silly question but is the Nutramilk the only machine that makes the nut butters as well as the milk?

[@the-gadgeteer]

I've not heard of or used teh Nutramilk. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

[@dorismojica3308]

Silly question, what if I want to make more than 20oz, do I have to stop and unplugged the machine? How do you go about it? Thank you!

[@josefschiltz2192]

I prefer to actually see what is going on and have little trust in these do-it-all machines. I'm going with a Vitamix and a bag method. Besides, you can do far more with a Vitamix or a Ninja. What I see here is a convenience machine that could go wrong after the first few milks and is unrepairable.
