would this also be useful for straining nut milks, or would a bag be preferred for straining nut milks?

This strainer is not made for liquids ,its not fine enough and it has bigger holes in the middle plastic cylinder ,unless nut milk is thick like joghurt it will not work.

yes, it is comparable to the nutmilk bag i have. even with the bag not everything is completely separated. if you're concerned about hygiene, etc., anyone should get this over the nutmilk bag.

I don't think so, but Amazon sells nut milk bags made specifically for that purpose. This unit would also produce a VERY small quantity of milk per batch.

I do not believe it is fine enough for ground nuts. However, when time permits, I anticipate trying almond milk myself and will keep you in mind.

I would use tips/couplers for more consistent and better looking products. Keep in mind, this bag may be way too stiff if you are piping cake donuts, and 12 in bag would be a more manageable size. Although you may have to fill it more often. Good luck.

Never used a nut bag. We've made Almond Milk numerous times using the machine and it works well. Just need to soak Almonds overnight and don't use too much water. Follow the proportion of almonds to water they give you and it will come out fine.

I make almond milk with 8 ounces of almonds which are soaked overnight. Plenty of room. Could hold double amount.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You can make ANY type of nut milk. I have made almond, cashew, coconut and soy milks that are fantastic. I would recommend that you soak the nuts overnight in filtered water. I have made almond milk without soaking but it seems to be creamier after a long soaking. I also put my nut milks through a mesh nut bag to get out the smallest pieces left behind that the strainer does not capture. You can also make really good soups in minutes. I love this machine and use it daily.

That would be a perfect use for this bag. So far making juices has been the number one thing I have used this bag for. Hope this helps.

Yes. But I would think using a structured metal strainer would be easier but you could easily use this bag.

I've never made donuts before but I would suspect the bag alone should be sufficient. It comes with a narrow enough opening for a standard piping tip that you can cut to desired opening.

Oh,sorry,I don't know. I just use it to fit Milk powder or Snacks. So,maybe you can try,but I don't make sure. At last,My English isn't well ,so...hehehe.

You can lock the mechanism that pushes the bag forward, so it won't smash the bags with the spring. That would allow you to store the non-frozen milk. I locked it in the freezer too.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

I still store in bags. I suppose bags vs bottles depends on how much milk you're producing & how fast you go through it.

For me, I think the size is perfect. I can take my blender pitcher in my right hand while holding this bag open with my left (easily done) and pour the nut milk right in there. I do this over a big pot. It drains so fast and you can tighten the bag so easily to get all the liquid out. When I turn the nut bag inside out to clean it, the stuff inside is almost dry. That's how good the liquid comes through the bag and leaves the solids inside.
