Is this blender able to grind nuts (e.g. peanuts, almonds, pecans, cashews) into nut butter?

unfortunately does not have the strength to do this efficiently, it is a good mixer for some juices, smoothies, without waiting more.

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH IT DOES! All u do is put the amount of nuts in (how many u want to puree)the container and make sure the lid is one well and pulse at first and then just hold down the motor until it gets thin/smooth as u want it. Sometimes when I get my pitcher overly full, I do take the pitcher and shake it to loosen up the dry ingredient so they can all get pureed or smooth as I want them too. It is absolutely not like the usual blenders where it is inconsistent but it's the opposite. Even if u are using the 48 ounce pitcher full of nuts, the entire container will be smooth in less than a minute. Best of luck to u. BTW, u will end up w/a powder consistency if u do it too long, so take the lid off and inspect it every so often, b/c I have gotten into trouble overdoing it on the consistency, but it was b/c I did not know any better. It works wonders. Best of luck to u in ur recipes!

It's a powerful blender, but it broke before I was able to make anything other than smoothies. I own the Tribest Greenstar Elite juicer & it makes excellent nut butter.

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

I have made almond butter with a blendtec, I believe it has about 2000 Watts. The machine smoked and almost burned. Try to stir peanut butter with a spoon to get an idea what will happen to a high Speed blender. With care you can make almond butter with a blendtec. But I bet you will burn this nutribullet in 30 seconds. They are not made for differing Speeds and differing things, only for high Speed Juice.

I use it to grind peanuts into peanut butter all the time. I tried to grind pretzels once for something and it was a MESS; I had pretzel dust all over my kitchen. So it worked good for oily hard things like nuts, but not for drier ingredients like pretzels or I'm guessing wheat berries.

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

I believe the hand blender would work very well for mayonnaise, but I doubt it could grind nuts. Might have to find another kitchen gadget to do that.

I have used the grinder blade and definitely made peanut butter and almond butter with it. It's pretty amazing. I was actually just attempting to make almond flour out of it for baking purposes and before I knew it, it was butter!

I have not tried yet. I'm sorry. It cuts up everything I have tried in a snap. Chopped up some pretty hard turnips very easily. I'm not sure it would grind it fine enough for peanut butter.

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

This machine can make nut butters with the mincing feature. For best results you should soak your nuts for several hours in water to soften them before processing.

There is a round container which came with the handheld blender. So far I have not chosen to use this container to chop nuts ect. As far as other attacchments - none that I know of..

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

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've made a nut "cream" with soaked cashews and the soaking liquid, with good results. I use my food processor for nut butters, and wouldn't even try it in this blender. I think that it wouldn't work well and it looks like it would be a pain to scrape a nut butter out of ANY blender. UPDATE: I decided to try it myself. This blender had no problems being adequately powered for the job. The cashew butter that I made turned out much smoother and creamier than with my food processor. I did need to add water so that it would blend without my scraping the sides every few seconds. But when I refrigerate it, it will be solid enough.

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.
