Tribest Soymilk Maker Review

Tribest Soymilk MakerIf this were the only soymilk maker I'd ever used, I'd probably have been thrilled with it.However, I'd been using the SoyQuick Soy Milk Maker (SDZ-5) that belonged to a friend.When my use increased, I decided it was time for my own.I looked around and found the Soyabella.It looked like it did everything the SDZ-5 did, and maybe more, and it had an elegant design which I liked.The Soyabella performed well, made great soymilk, but there are a couple of serious design flaws.One thing I wasn't prepared for was the wickedly sharp blades on the Soyabella.I'm used to cleaning small parts with my fingers.Not a good idea with this machine, and I sliced skin off a finger in short order, even being careful.The Soyabella has three electrical plugs on the unit: one in the top, and two in the base. That makes it necessary to clean very carefully so you don't get water in the electrical parts. The top unit with the blades is hard to hold onto, and if you get water in the electrical components, it may not run until it drys out in 3-4 days.

With these drawbacks, and especially the sharp blades, I called Tribest and asked for a refund.Forget it.Because it wasn't malfunctioning, they didn't consider my dissatisfaction a legitimate reason for a refund. I am STUCK with this machine, which I don't use.I'm very unhappy with the Soyabella and with Tribest.They don't stand behind their products, and to me, that says it all.I finally got an SoyQuick SDZ5 of my own from Kitchen's Best Manufacturing Group, and I'm completely thrilled with the company and the product.These people don't mess around!They stand by their products 100% and give a 90 day 100% money back guarantee.To me, that's well worth paying a bit more, because it says they're confident enough in their products to KNOW you won't return them! What a refreshing difference!

Nutritionist SY5A Soy Milk Maker Review

Nutritionist SY5A Soy Milk MakerThis thing just plain doesn't work.I'd like to see the results of those people who claim it made milk successfully; I bet the stuff that came out doesn't even closely resemble soy milk.
1)I soaked the beans as instructed and started the machine.It incessantly beeped at me with its "something is wrong" message.I kept fiddling with it and started it over until it finally completed one cycle.That was the first problem.
2)There is no heating element!Your soy milk is heated by something exactly like the hot plate that keeps your coffee warm in your coffee maker.It just isn't capable of heating the soy milk to proper temperatures.
3) Don't be fooled by the stainless steel appearance in the picture.Don't expect high-quality.It is a flimsy thin steel that I'm sure would dent if you were a little too rough with it.
This is a horrible product that was surely ill-conceived from the start.

Joyoung CTS1048 Automatic Hot Soy Milk Maker Review

Joyoung CTS1048 Automatic Hot Soy Milk MakerA few weeks before Christmas this year, I went to a friend's house and was introduced to the concept of a soymilk maker. I didn't even know such an item existed! We live in Manhattan, and soymilk here is very expensive - about $4.60 a quart, more sometimes. I'm very very lactose intolerant, and we drink a lot of soymilk - about a quart and a half a week. It adds up, as you might imagine!

My friend's maker was an old SoyaJoy that she bought off of Craigslist. I liked the quality of the milk, and came home raving about soymilk makers and how much money we'd save if we got one, and proceeded to research new soymilk makers online. My husband, dearheart that he is, bought me this one for Christmas after I subjected him to yet another evening's worth of research and raving! He's very patient. I was over the moon ecstatic. He also bought us 25 pounds (you read that right) of soybeans.

It is now 3 weeks later, and I have made & drank several quarts of soymilk, as well as a quart of almond milk, and a quart of pecan milk. Pecan milk is amazing and I suggest making hot chocolate with it - it will knock your socks off.

I find the easiest way to clean the machine is, after straining the milk into a big bowl or glass pitcher, to fill the pitcher part of the machine with hot water and a squirt of dishsoap, and reassemble the machine to soak for a little while. Cleanup is super easy and you won't have to use the scrub brush included in the kit.

My soymilk recipe is as follows, it tastes very similar to Silk brand soymilk:
100 g *dry* soybeans, soaked overnight or in the fridge for a few days
1 tablespoon rolled oats
1 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
2 scant tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 generous teaspoon kosher salt
Fill machine to higher water level
process on "soymilk"
strain & chill

That's it! Pecan milk was 165 grams of dry pecans, soaked for a few hours and processed on "soymilk", and sweetened the same way.

I find that warm milks right from the machine are a little grainy. Cooled in the fridge overnight, the milks take on a lovely creamy quality.

I absolutely ADORE this machine and look forward to many years of use from it. I highly recommend it to anyone who drinks a lot of alternative milks - soy, nut, what have you.

I use 100 grams of soybeans per quart of milk - that's about 3.5 ounces of soybeans. We bought 25 pounds of soybeans for $30, which means that our 25 lbs of soy beans will make about 114 quarts of soymilk. That works out to 26 cents a quart.

Twenty six cents a quart, versus $4.60 a quart.

FREAKING AWESOME! Tasty too, and foams beautifully when I make my morning latte/cappuccino. I can't say enough good things about this machine. Get one. You'll be thrilled.

PS : I just tweaked my recipe a little in the past few months :) Enjoy!
