Lekue Nut, Almond Grain Milk Maker, 1 quart, Brown

Works like designed. Made almond milk a few times, but maybe use it as a French press.

Product is simple& perfect for its function. I save $$ by making my own plant milk & have it whenever I need it. Happy camper.

Amazing, simple and exactly what I needed. Will be buying more

The seal in the plunger part is not sufficiently large to create a seal. It allows unfiltered milk to pass through and therefore it is ineffective. Can't return it. A total waste. 0 out of 10 would not recommend.

I really wanted to like this thing. It seems like someone put a little thought into the process. But it simply does not work at all. And whats worse, it can not be returned on Amazon. I have been using messy milk bags, and this seemed to be a slightly expensive but more organized way of handling it. I soaked some nuts and put them in a blender and put them in this device, and used the strainer. I poured off the liquid. However, when I looked at the mush it still looked like milk. So I strained again, and again ... I kept getting more and more liquid out. Until finally there was nothing left in the bottle at all. In other words, it did not end up straining anything. I guess there are several flaws. First of all the straining part is pretty small (<4 sq inches) as opposed to a nut bag which might have 30 sq inches. And in a nutbag only the liquid can come out, but not the solids. In this case, there is kind of a plastic gasket that slides along the inside of the bottle, and apparently that allows a lot to slip past it. I would not be surprised if that gave out after a few months, but it did not work from day 1. I tried several times, and could never get any useful result from it. It ends up being a $10 plastic jar that costs $30. I then attempted to return it, and found that Amazon requires you to contact the manufacturer, and then that web link is broken. So I guess I am stuck with it.

Lekue Nut, Almond Grain Milk Maker, 1 quart, Brown. The filter is a little too coarse to properly filter almond milk, allowing relatively large chucks of almond solids through. I've purchased some cotton straining bags and will cut one up and see if I can wrap a piece of the cotton bag around the press filter and get a smoother milk or just end up squeezing everything around the edges of the filter when I tried using the coarsest lab filter I could find with it. It's a cool idea, but unless you want really grainy nut milk, this really doesn't work. And sadly, I suspect that all of the automated nut milk machines still need to have their results filtered or make really watery nut milk since the ones that claim you don't need to filter their milk use far smaller amounts of nuts than I do to make nut milk.

I found this product to seive out most of the liquid in an almond milk process. The metal seive with surrounding silicone fit the inside processing barrel tightly. The resulting milk still had tiny particles of almonds, but I expected that. A second filtering with cloth removed these particles adequately. I continue to use this Lekue product because I perceive the process to be quick.

I wish I had bought this before I bought a big electric contraption (that shall not be named) which is supposed to do the same thing. This is lo-fi and low-profile, yet highly effective. I love the simplicity.
