Tribest SB-130 Soyabella, Automatic Soy Milk and Nut Milk Maker Machine, Stainless Steel Large,Silver

UPDATE JANUARY 2023:This little milk maker is still going strong! I use it religiously and it'snever given me problems. I even (accidentally) got the head of the unit wet; it glitched out at first, but I let it dry out and it's been fine ever since. When this unit goes bad, I will absolutely buy another!UPDATE APRIL 2022:I definitely don't regret this purchase! I did have a minor incident where the screen wasn't locked securely in place (my fault) and came off during the grinding process. That action caused the blades to poke a hole through my screen. Since this unit comes with 2 screens (one for nut and one for rice milk) I just started using the rice milk screen to make my nut milk and honestly, I don't see the difference. I still need to buy the extra screen to have on hand, but I believe I have to do this through the manufacturer; extra screens are not sold on Amazon (as of this writing.)This is STILL a wonderful purchase for me. It's sturdy, easy to operate, simple to clean, and will save me hundreds of dollars a year, with an extra bonus of not having to throw away hundreds of wax containers a year.ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM SEPTEMBER 2021:Pros:* Easy to clean. Not sure why some of these reviews talk about it being hard to clean. Very simple, even the filter.* Easy to use. I make oat milk and I use oat groats to do it. Rolled oats made a slimy mess for me. I use 1 cup of oat groats, fill the water to the first fill line inside the carafe, press MILL 6 times (it grinds for a few seconds then stops. I repeat this process 6 times for thicker milk), then add 1 teaspoon of pink salt and 1/2 teaspoon of stevia, and sometimes I'll also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Then voila! We have fresh oat milk everyday in 2 minutes.Cons:* one batch makes just a little over a 1/2 gallon. You have to make 2 batches if you go through it quicker, but it's not that much more time or effort to do so.* this may seem silly but the MILK and the MILL button are right next to each other and to make nut milk, you have to use the MILL button. I haven't made anything with the MILK button so not even sure what that does. I only mention this because it was confusing in the vague instructions, and MILK and MILL or similar words with (apparently) two different functions. It would be easy to accidentally press the wrong button.* which leads me to the last con which is poor instructions. The instructions themselves aren't horrible, but there's no recipe or anything inside to use as a guideline. I created my recipe through trial and error.It's a great purchase. Has saved me a ton of money from having to buy oat milk at the store, and I'm no longer throwing out oat milk containers. I've used it every day for 3 months and have not had any issues. Very happy with my choice in nut milk makers.

amazing machine. makes soy milk easy. the left over pulp has lots of recipes so no waste. i also dry and powder left over cashew and almond pulp for flour. This has replaced my NutraMilk machine (tho I still use it for nut butters, as it makes great nut butter) for making milk. Very easy to use.

This makes having soymilk so easy compared to homemade. Less mess, never "beany" tasting, the okara comes out cooked and no exposed heating element. The vanilla recipe tastes every bit as good as store bought. One surprise for me was this grinds the beans finer than my blender ever did. If dried out this truly could be soy flour. I like mixing it in as a creamer in soups. The downside to this fineness is that some does get through the filter basket. A little cheese cloth in the top of a brita pitcher solves that. I haven't tried it for soups or nut milk yet. Ricemilk I don't like the taste of so well and the yield was less since the rice clogs almost anything you strain it through. Good rice cerial though. Cleaningwise, they have a nicely designed cup to hold the head/basket assembly, catch any remaining milk and unlocks the basket for you. ( No burned fingers:) My only two drawbacks are 1) I wish it made more per batch (4 cups) and 2)I do worry that the motor sounds like it is working really hard on the first grind. I find I'm not saving much over making powdered milk per week since it is so yummy we are drinking twice as much. For a lactose-intolerant or vegan house hold though -- what a money saver!

I am on my 4th unit. Two arrived DOA and some lasted 5 weeks and 6 months. This is still better than other brands which couldn’t last even one single use. made in china!The screen is hard to attach to the motor housing. On some units, it will not turn to the stop (a click), on some when it reaches the stop, the basket will fall off. Expect to ship it back and get a few replacement to get one that works.The basket sometimes will fall off and get cut up by the blade. The importer will not honor the warranty and a replacement plus shipping is around $30.In use, it is very noisy; when the blander blade spins, it sounds like a 747 is landing in your kitchen. It is also very hard to clean the basket if you let it dry.It was good when it was working as the soy milk is tasty. After five weeks, the shaft of the blades became detached from the motor and it stopped spinning. You can’t tell by a very loud high pitched screech. The same happened to the replacements. All three of mine died the same way.The company tribest has no intention of honoring any warranty. They make you send it back and wait for months if they respond to your call or email. Crooks!One hopes it would break within 30 days so that it can be returned to amazon. It does in about 5 to 6 weeks like it was designed to die after the return window. I tired the soysjoy but it was even worse - died at the first use. It seems nothing good comes from China.

The Soyabella nut milk maker has not failed me in the 4 years I’ve owned it. It is so convenient to use and delivers a consistent product hot or cold. I first soak then skin the almonds and the (Laura’s) soy beans adding a pinch of salt for the best flavor outcome. The motor unit is solid, the steel container is lightweight, and all the washable parts are easy to clean and store when not in use.You are grinding up nuts so it’s not going to be whisper quiet. It’s not super loud either but that is the trade off for a light weight maneuverable steel container.
