Tried almond, pistachio, brazil nuts, cashew, black sesame seeds so far. Most turn out well. Cashew is the smoothest of consistency out of all that i've tried. Brazil nuts had a ton of grain left so i wouldn't recommend using this nut at all. The other nuts and seeds had some graininess to it which is quite disappointing.

I love the auto clean, how fast it creates milk and that it heats up the milk to cook it for consumption.

The recipes that come with the manual are not great. We tried cashew's and almond's recipes, and they all turned out super watery and with minimal flavor. I have been tripling to quadrupling the amount of nuts and seeds i use per serving recommended. It creates better consistency, flavor, and increased nutritional values per serving.

I would return this if i found a better milk maker that had a sieve feature in addition to what Chef Wave already offers. But so far, this is likely the best i've found online.

I found this by accident when looking at juicers. My wife is lactose intolerant and lives on bottles and cartons of various nut milks. It's a lot of bottles and cartons. And often her favorite milks are not in stock. Reading a review on epicurious made me look a bit further into this machine and other nut milk machines - things I had no idea even existed.

I chose this one because it seemed very efficient in time and use of materials, and because of its self-cleaning cycle. Other nut milk makers still suggest straining the milk or long soaks. While skeptical of any one review, there are a lot of people in love with this machine, so I went ahead and surprised my wife with it.

She is beyond happy.

The machine is press the buttons and forget. It couldn't be easier. It takes about a tablespoon of nuts to make 2 cups of nut milk. It doesn't need long soaking because it heats the water and blends together. Load the water container in the back, make sure the wastewater container and receptacle pitcher are in place, select which program (almond, oat, soy, cashew, coconut, macadamia) you want and select 10 or 20 oz., press the button, wait about 10 minutes and your nut milk is ready. Let the machine continue its cycle and it self-cleans and dumps the wastewater into a separate container.

The milk comes out hot - great for some purposes, not great for others. That's why there are containers and refrigerators! The milk will separate over time - there's a very simple solution to that - shake it! While my wife is very happy with the consistency, which usually is very smooth and creamy, sometimes there has been a little bit of "grit" depending on the ingredients. She is never unhappy with the amount, and it is very minimal but maybe some people might want to strain some recipes. I think the different programs will also have an effect on that, which we have yet to explore.

One of the best parts is customizing your milk. My wife has settled on a cashew coconut blend with half a date for sweetness as her favorite, but does other blends as her whims take her. I don't know the differences between the programs, so there will be some experimentation, but the recipe book has lots of suggestions.

Homemade nut milks are different from commercial in one important aspect - most commercial products have nutrition supplements added - maybe extra protein or calcium or vitamin D, etc. If you are depending on your nut milk for these, just buy some supplement powders that meet your needs and add them.

According to my wife: "This is the best milk I've ever had, and it is so quick and easy to use and clean."

"˜Nuff said :)

I purchased the ChefWave Milkmade Non-Dairy Milk Maker almost two years ago, and I have been absolutely thrilled with this machine. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, finding a convenient and efficient way to make non-dairy milk at home has always been a priority, and this machine has exceeded my expectations. I never felt like the store bought milks were worth the expensive cost--given these are all primarily water.

First and foremost, the ChefWave Milkmade is incredibly easy to use. The intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it a breeze to create a wide variety of non-dairy milks. Whether I'm in the mood for almond milk, oat milk, or any other nut or seed milk, this machine can handle it all with ease.

The Milkmade also saves me a significant amount of money in the long run. Store-bought non-dairy milks can be quite expensive, especially if you opt for organic or specialty varieties. With this machine, I can make my own fresh and delicious milk at a fraction of the cost, and I know exactly what goes into it"”no added preservatives or artificial ingredients. I simply purchase organic raw almonds, soy beans and etc...

Cleaning the Milkmade is a breeze as well, because it's self cleaning!!!

In addition to its practicality and convenience, the ChefWave Milkmade has a sleek and modern design that looks great in my kitchen. It doesn't take up much counter space. I call the company and ordered extra glass pitchers.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the ChefWave Milkmade Non-Dairy Milk Maker. It has become an essential appliance in my kitchen, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy fresh, homemade non-dairy milk with ease and convenience.

The product does what it says. I appreciate very much that the device does all the work, from start to finish. You just need to throw the ingredients in, and the device heats, blends, dispenses and self-cleans. I also like that the device uses all of the ingredients, and doesn't strain or waste anything. All of my drinks have been very smooth. You also do not need a lot of ingredients - the recommendation is only about one tablespoon of nuts per drink. Also what's nice is you choose what to put in your drink - no chemicals, oils, artificial sweeteners, etc. You can use dates for sweetness, or probably other ingredients. The drinks come out very hot.

I've only tried almond milk and cashew milk. The almond milk is pretty bland, but I may need to roast a little more or purchase roasted. I prefer the cashew milk; it has a little more creaminess and flavor. I add two dried dates to my drinks, which provides a little natural sweetness. The drinks aren't nearly as rich or creamy as whole dairy milk, so it's going to take some time weaning my bf off of dairy milk, but I'm trying. I've been favoring the 10oz vs the 20oz as the 10oz uses proportionally more ingredients to water, so there is a little more flavor and creaminess.

I have not verified this, but I believe the overflows a few people experience are due to overfilling the machine. There is a vent at the top of the blender, which mixes with hot water, so yea, it will overflow if there is too much stuff in there. Read the instructions.

I'd like to buy this for my mom but I think it might take some convincing. She drinks Lactaid.

I'll have to use it more to find out
