with this Tribest soyabella machine, do I still have to pour the soymilk through cheesecloth....I like mine without any pulp at all!

The fine mesh of the basket used for grinding your nuts will not allow pulp into the milk chamber. The only way that is going to happen would be if you overfilled it. I haven't found it overly difficult to clean. I make sure to always clean it immediately after use and scrub it will the brush provided. I have had mine for years and it is still going strong.

Comes with a wide flat strainer. If you don't like pulp you do have to strain it. I have used 2 other soy milk makers with baskets to hold the pulp. They are a huge pain to clean.

I have not made soy milk,only almond milk and didn't have to pour it thru a cheese cloth because the container that hold nuts/beans has tiny holes ,kinda like a coffee pot that hold grinds ,when you pou r it out it's strained...a great thing!!!

I think the machine can only heat up the soy milk up to 80 degree C to prevent the over flow of the soy milk fluid with bubbles, so I have to pour it into another sauce pan to cook until it is fully boiled for about 5 minutes. While I am heating up the soymilk with low heat, I can not put a lid over the sauce pan because the soy milk with a lot of bubbles will push it open and over flow onto the heater.

Greetings! Yes! :) I've "juiced" coconuts many times. Absolutely delicious! Crack open the coconut, drain the water in a blender (I have a vitamix)....make sure the water is clear, not cloudy. Crack out pieces of coconut, put in blender with coconut water, rough chop/blend. Feed into the tribest and watch as the milk pour out. Yummy. I freeze the dry pulp in ice cube trays and use when blending smoothies....great fiber. I absolutely love my tribest. The banana and peach "ice cream" is amazing. I keep frozen fruits in the freezer to make the ice cream or sorbets. Hope this helps. Greetings! Yes! :) I've "juiced" coconuts many times. Absolutely delicious!

Yes. If you want a juice(as in something with no pulp or fiber or nutrients), make a blend of veggies AND fruit, and use a cheesecloth to get all of the pulp out, then drink the juice.

I haven't used paper in using mine and have made both bread and non bread type of foods in them. I spray a little vegetable oil in the wells and so far every things comes out intact.

Yes there is some pulp that gets into the juice. It does not strain it completely.

I've used powdered milk and it set perfectly. I've never used soy or rice milk, so I can't if they would work the same.

Since it is silken, it is more difficult to press than regular firm tofu. However, if you're careful with it, it can still be used in a press. If you tighten the press too quickly it may split apart or squeeze out around the edges. I've pressed mine with varying degrees of success but it's still better than not pressing it at all. I haven't tried wrapping it in cheesecloth prior to pressing, but I think that'd help ensure that it holds its shape and presses evenly.

I don't now about recipes other than Google it but I made a bunch of Mac and cheese with it because we had so much pasta in our cupboard to use up. I just used it as you would on the directions to making Kraft Mac and cheese. (Boil your pasta and set aside after draining then make your sauce which consists of butter or margarine, milk and the Cheddar Cheese Powder) It came out great!!!

Hi, I have not tried that yet, but my first response would be no. When I do try to get the juice out without any seeds at all, without question I would use the food mill first then put the pulp thru my fine mesh sieve (strainer). When I do cactus apples I use my food mill and its great but is you need to be careful not to have any seeds, go with the food mill first then strain the pulp. It also makes it easier to strain once it's been thru the mill. Hope this helps. Food mills are a great addition to any kitchen!

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

No. This machine does not froth any sort of milk. There is a recipient behind where you put water - there is no place for milk. I heard the machine "latissima" is the only one that froth milk. I belive you would be able to froth soy milk there. You also can froth milk in the "nespresso aeroccino". Hope this helped!

This is great. I use Elaine G's recipe too so this info helps. I wanted to know if I could use 2% lactose-free milk since I'm short on regular. I'm also going to add 5% cream- which I didn't realize had other ingredients in it- like "modified milk ingredients. " If you can make yogurt with soy milk- [which I would never use], I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'll try and see. I have also found keeping the temp. at the simmer point for a minute before cooling and the culturing temp. a little cooler than suggested makes a thicker, firmer result.

I haven't used it yet. I learned a long time ago on another machine that it really wasn't needed. I just put my fruit/nuts right in the ingredients from the beginning. Has always worked fine for me that way. My pannetone fruits are not crushed with the Breville.

I personally haven't tried it for making cheese and don't know what the process involves. I have only used it to make nut milks and have had good results. The mesh appears very strong and able to hold up against a good deal of pressure from squeezing. Don't know if that helps.

It did when I made it. almonds are so expensive I only made it once and all I remember is that the milk was AMAZING!!! way way better than anything you can buy in the store. The way it grinds it makes so that it will strain out all or most fine pulp and leave you with silky milks. :)

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!
