    I wonder what will be posted first, something about an ~$800 device that makes butter from nuts not being a bargain, or that nuts don't contain nipples therefore they can't produce 'milk'.

      Friggin' $800!?! Sacre bleu. Thought it was another $50 impulse-buy to join the chocolate fountain buried behind the tuppaware after one use.

  Interesting product. I have a question about the % of nut in a nut milk.

  If you look at the ingredients of your average nut milk, taking Vitasoy as an example, it claims a minimum of 3.8% of whole almonds in their 1 litre .

  https://soy.com.au/product/almond-milk-unsweetened/

  Based on the instructions above, 475grams of nuts into 2 litres of water is about 19% nut composition (475/ 475g nuts + 2,000g water).

  That seems like a much higher nut:water ratio compared to the commercial product. Is the nut milk going to be chunkous? Are commercial producers ripping people off?

  Further musing:

  Using a 19% nut composition and paying around $13 per kg of almonds (woolworths spot price), you'll end up paying the same price as the commercial product (when it's on special)

  1kg nuts at $13 per kg 5 litres of nut milk (using, 1kg of nuts + 4 litres of water) = $2.60 per litre
  - $13/5 litres

  BUT, if you are able to only use around 3.8% of nuts, you'd recoup the cost of the machine much more quickly! Using 5% to make calculations a little easier:

  1kg nuts at 13 per kg = 21 litres of nut milk (using, 1kg grams of nuts + 20 litres of water) = 60 cents per litre
  - $13/21 litres

  (Yes I'm procrastinating at the moment!)

    Bonus points if someone else who is procrastinating can calculate how long it will take to recoup the cost of the machine, based on x number of commercial cartons used per week, etc etc.

      Assuming your previous calculations are correct.
      Assuming Vitasoy Almond Milk Unsweetened purchased from Woolworths and not on sale (ie $3/L).
      Assuming 2x cartons per week (ie. 2L/week).

      Savings per week = ($3x2)-($0.6x2) = ($6)-($1.2) = $4.8/week.

      No. of Weeks to recoup cost = ($809+$9.95) / $4.8 = ($818.95)/$4.8 = 171 weeks (rounded up to nearest whole weeks) ~= 3.3 years.

      Lots of other scenarios could be checked ie % of nuts used, type of nuts, how many L of "milk" are used per week, etc.

      Did I win!?

        Awesome! Yes, bonus points for you!

        We can't assume my calculations are correct, but at least it's a start right?

        It would be a tense third year of nut milk making hoping that the machine doesn't break after a reasonable warranty period (2 years) has passed.

    or use existing blender or ninja to blitz the nuts in question, add water and filter through cheese cloths. I make chinese soy milk and we bring to boil (be careful, they boil and overlow very quickly) and simmer on low heat for hours (longer taste better).

    But how could you not want "fully-made nut milk?"

• 

  Ge3ks on 23/04/2019 - 11:43

  Does it make rice milk, too? We use a lot of rice milk.

  I am intrigued by the product but would be way more keen on seeing the results first. $800 is a lot for an appliance that likely will have limited usage before being shelved and evolving into a dust collector.

    before being shelved

    I probably wouldn't want to use it much after that either.

  A second hand Thermomix in excellent shape costs around $1k and can do this and plenty more…

  Vitamix can do it as well plus a lot of other things to boot.
