Would this blender be able to make almond flour?

I haven't made almond meal/flour myself but I believe it would based on it crushes ice in less than 5 seconds and it's a fine grind.

I have ground almonds to make a pastry crust. It didn't come out super fine but was adequate for my purpose. I think I'd depend on how fine you need it.

I found it to be ok...I was not happy with how it made green smoothies or almond milk so I upgraded to a vitamix. This is a good blender for the price but if you are doing recipes like almond milk and any other raw recipes you may want to consider a more powerful blender.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

You can make almond milk just as easily with a blender, if you happen to have one. This is a cooker and blender in one, essential for those of use who don't want to leave the stove on for long periods of time (preventing accidentally burn the house down) and rely on the timer alarm built in. When the cooking is not needed, I would choose a blender that can make almond milk, and much much more.

Since I haven't made macaroons with it, I don't know about that. However, I have compared it to a few other brands of almond flour and it seems to be the finest grind of all the ones I've tried.

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

Yes, if you have the equipment to grind flour, likely you could. It's already very fine shreds and is dry, not sticky. But why don't you just order the "Let's do organic coconut flour"?

Hello Tiffany, I use this to make coconut flour (in the food processor) and combine it with almond flour to make cookies every week. I'm sure you can use it to make coconut milk. You can use your blender to mix the shredded coconut and water until smooth. If you want to make a little sweet, add a little raw honey. Here is a link with instructions I found on the web. I'm going to try this at home as well (my husband can't have dairy).

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

You can. I crushed almonds with this for a recipe. This will make nut butter but you have to put the nuts through the machine again and again to get a better consistency.

I would suggest getting a smaller chopper style processor (4 cup). This food processor is extremely loud when it operates. As far as almond milk, I have seen many people online that use a blender. For any long-term grinding, the important thing to research is the actual approved runtime. A lot of devices (like food processors) have a set amount of time that they should be run before needing a certain amount of time for the motors to cool off.

I don't think so, depending on the amount you plan to grind, for small amount how about mortar and pestle and large a good blender. The one your checking on is made for nutmeg.

I apologize for taking so long to answer, but yes. I can make smoothies and pesto from the two blender containers that came with mine.

Probably not. It is not the intended use.The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

I would say yes because I soaked it in filtered water, then put it in the blender. Then I squeezed the coconut milk out of it to drink. What was left looked like flour.
