Saker Nut Milk Maker, Automatic Almond Milk Machine Maker with 12H Timer for Soy, Oat, Coconut, Plant Based Milks Homemade, Soybean Milk Maker with Auto Clean, Boil Water, Delay Start, Keep Warm

Great amount of features. Make most nut milks in five minutes. Easy cleanup, and multiple options for use. It’s my first nut milk machine, but definitely happy with this purchase for under 100 bucks.

I received this as a gift and was so excited to make almond milk as that is the only milk I drink. The instructions included are basic and don't explain the different temperature settings. In addition, there are no recipes included. They do list 3 contacts, but none are related to the milk maker. Two of the contacts show garden and construction tools by Saker, but no nut milk makers. There are almond milk recipes on the internet, but they require a blender, which further confuses me about the use of different temperatures on the Saker. The lack of instruction is frustrating. I've yet to actually use it, but plan to do so today. I will edit this review if needed after using the maker. Changed my 3 star review to 1. Issues from above were never resolved. I've contacted the company a few times with no results. After my initial review on Amazon the company instructed me to email them. I had done that simultaneously with my initial review here. However, per their instructions I emailed them again with no response. I'm past the return window so I guess I'm stuck. It looks like a nice machine, but if I can't use it and the company won't assist me, it's useless. April 2025....it's 3 1/2 months since I received ti's as a gift. Months of emailing the company with no communication back. I even looked on YouTube to have an idea of how to use it and when/how to use the temperature settings. This model is nowhere on YouTube. I see some people giving it glowing reviews, I can only assume they were familiar with using nut milk machines in the past and were able to adjust. But as a beginner...I'm at a liss without instructions. A waste of money for my son, and waste of time for me trying to contact the company.

I love that this product is an alternative milk maker but it can also be used as a water kettle. I use it every few days to make batches of various alternative milks. The noise is not too loud but if you are watching television in the kitchen you will need to adjust the volume slightly. I like that it is faster than my other milk maker. I like that the strainer is not required as much as the other milk maker I have tried. Straining was the task I disliked the most so I am so excited that with cashew milk it isn’t required. It can be hand washed or you can use the automatic clean cycle that only takes 11 minutes. Hand wash the lid though. The cleaning brush and measuring cup are included and are helpful. It is simple to operate and most of the milk types take just about 10 minutes. Room temperature nut milk takes about 5 minutes. Warm nut milk function takes about 8 minutes. Hot soymilk takes about 35 minutes. I have used it to boil water and it is fast. If you make the maximum amount of boiled water it takes about 10 minutes. I love the signal that beeps when any cycle is completed. I really like the keep warm and delay start functions. I should note that there are lots of things to remember when using this product. Or you can refresh your memory using the instruction manual. There are 35 safety precautions so inform yourself. These are my critiques of this product: I wish the instruction manual provided more details in making milk, I wish the instruction manual was in a larger font. It would be nice if the information that describes how to use the room temperature, warm, or hot milk functions was easier to refer to and larger. It would help the information to make milk was written on the back or on a separate page. The guide tells you how much water and how many nuts or beans to add but then you’re on your own. In other words, find your own recipe. I wish they offered just a few recipes. I dislike that the photos clearly show spices near the milk maker and fresh fruit too. But the instruction manual makes no mention of coconut, blueberries, bananas, carrots, or lemons. If I can make milk using things you show in your advertising to promote the product like carrot, oat, coconut, or banana then tell me in the instructions which function key to use at least. A recipe for these would be terrific. A recipe designed for a milk maker of this size. I discovered later that the recommendation for grains is listed on the promotional page but it needs to be in the instruction manual. That’s where I’m going to look for guidance. The manual needs improvement. Compared to some others on the market this is a good value.

This was kind of an impulse buy for me. I'd never really considered making my own non-dairy milk since I don't use a whole lot of it. However my sister convinced me that I should try one of these machines -- not really for any health/economic/environmental reasons but just because that's what the influencers say 😆 I really had no expectations for this appliance and the included instructions seemed extremely lacking in information for someone who had no idea what they were doing. For instance, I really wasn't sure if I should use raw or roasted nuts. Should I presoak the nuts first? What is the point of the different temperature settings? I still don't really know the answers to these questions, but I can say that I measured out 43 grams of raw almonds, chopped them up a bit, and then soaked them for about 4 hours (which was all the the I had). I then added all this to the machine, added more water to the max full line, and turned it to the Room Temp setting, and 5 minutes later I had almond milk that was actually pretty good (it was a little hard to compare to store bought because I get unsweetened vanilla and really only use it for protein shakes and coffee. This was of course unsweetened and unflavored and I drank some straight). After letting the machine cool down, I rinsed it and ran the self clean cycle and in a few minutes it was clean. Overall, a pretty quick and simple process. It's this worth it? Maybe. I think it might be slightly more cost effective to make your own rather than buy, and you control the ingredients. Plus, it's a lot easier to store nuts at your house than milk, so it's helpful in that regard if you go through a lot of it. I have no idea how the quality or features of this machine compare to other similar devices, or to doing it yourself with a blender and a strainer. But this machine is pretty simple to use and cleanup is a breeze so if you already know what you're doing then you'll probably appreciate having it.

Do not recommend this product… for one, it’s like a blender and not a Nut Milk maker. Second, the handle is so inconvenient and the “fancy” handle soon becomes a pain to handle. I returned the product.

So far we have only made soy milk with it. We have been very happy with the results though. The instruction manual suggests adding 43 grams of soybean before adding water to the minimum or maximum line. It’s unclear if the soybean should be soaked first. We soaked the bean first since that’s how we did it the “old” fashion way. For what it’s worth, 43g of soybean is about 1/3 cup. The soy bean cycle is about 30 minutes. When the cycle is complete, the maker goes into a keep warm mode, which is great if you make the milk ahead of time. The maker does not have a filter. The pulp sinks to the bottom. When pouring, pour slowly to avoid the pulp getting into the milk. The taste is great, just like how we used to make it with a blender the old fashion way. The maker has a self cleaning mode. This is where the issue comes up. We pour out the pulpy remainder in the sink. You have to be careful though when rinsing it out to avoid water getting on the power adapter. This is the only negative that the mixing bowl is not removable. The max fill line os good for 2 coffee cups.

The instructions were very hard to understand. Two adults couldn't figure them out! Tried to contact the company for directions and a possible video, but they never responded.

I’ve become mindful of how destructive to our planet and to our health factory-farmed meat is, so I’ve started exploring plant-based eating and trying to shift more of my dietary choices toward plants. But it’s hard to change from eating highly processed convenience foods to a healthier plant-based diet. I started with smoothies, but I don’t enjoy smoothies if they aren’t made with milk…as in cow’s milk. I’ve got all this cut-up fruit in my freezer that I never reach for because the milk in the fridge has gone bad or I’m out of it. When offered this nut milk maker for review, I thought I’d try it and see if plant-based milks could substitute well for cow’s milk for my smoothies. I’ve never made nut milks using any device, blender or nut milk maker, so this was a first for me. What I do NOT like about this nut milk maker is the instructions are pretty pitiful for someone who doesn’t already know what they are doing, and the instructions are TINY so they are very hard to read. (I did manage to see that one should not use this at altitudes above 2000 feet, so be aware of that.) We are told not to use more than 46g of beans if doing soy milk, which is one of the milks I’d most want to make. What does that mean, soaked or unsoaked beans? I didn’t have soy beans, so I measured out 46g of dried chick peas, then soaked them overnight. (Even if people say you don’t have to soak beans, I would always soak my beans to remove the phytic acid. One of the reasons soy has gotten a bad reputation is because so much of it is GMO and people don’t sufficiently soak the beans.) I put the soaked chick peas in, and they barely rose to the top of the grinding blades; in other words, not very far at all. I had read in several nut milk books that I’d downloaded (because of the insufficiency of the instructions for newbies) to use a ratio of 1 part beans to 4 parts water, but it was clear when I filled this nut milk maker up to the minimum liquid line that there was a lot more water than that. I pressed Menu (referred to as Function in the instructions) to select the Hot setting, then pressed Start and let it do its thing. It did its sequence of grinding (as explained in the instructions) and then stopped on the “bb” to indicate finished. What I wound up with was about 20 ounces of milk that I put in a 24-ounce Classico spaghetti jar. That’s a good amount of milk to use for making two smoothies. I put the chickpea milk into the fridge to get cold and made a good smoothie with it the next day. I surprisingly did not need to strain it! The next milk I made by putting about twice as many soaked split green peas that somebody gave me years ago and filling the water up to the max line. This made a thinner milk, and it was more than would fit into a 32-ounce mason jar. (I cannot stand pea flavor. I wound up mixing it into rice to feed to my dogs.) Next time I make milk, I’ll know not to fill it up all the way to the max line. I haven’t made oat milk or rice milk, although I want to, but I know enough now to know 46g of dry beans, first soaked overnight, and the water filled to the minimum line will yield a creamy, relatively thick milk that will last me for two days of smoothies. Soybeans are a complete protein, but for other types of beans I will probably make rice milk to complete the protein of the bean milk. What I don’t like about this nut milk maker is the lid. What exactly is it for? To use as a bowl? And it seems that you really do have to wait until the nut milk maker totally cools down before you can make a second batch. That’s okay with me, because one batch is enough, but if I were trying to make milks for a family or different kinds of milks in the same session, it would be a hassle. But I like that it’s sleek and attractive, and I also like that I did not have to strain the milks I’ve made. I was thinking I’d need to take the pulp (okara, I’ve learned) and use it to make veggie patties so it didn’t go to waste, but at least for what I’ve made so far, the milk is so well blended that it would be pointless to strain out the good fiber and such from the milk.

No trae instructivo para elaborar las bebidas. Conseguí la receta para la leche de soya. Aqui va, por si alguien la necesita: Remojé en agua bien caliente 100 g. (2/3 de tza.) de frijol soya por 2 h. Los escurrí; los vertí en la máquina; agregué 2 1/2 tzas. de agua y cerré. Conecté la máquna y esperé 5 min. antes de ponerla a funcionar. Para esto, sólo seleccioné la temperatura más alta y listo. Tardó 36 min. Sale cremosita y deliciosa. También compré la soya en Amazon.
