Electric Multi Function Nut Milk Maker

This Milk Maker from Velleora Home Decor grinds, heats and blends nuts, oats or soy into plant milk in one cycle, so a litre is made from raw ingredients in minutes rather than bought in a carton.

The cost difference is substantial. A handful of oats or almonds makes what a carton charges several pounds for, and there is no carton to recycle each time. It also means controlling what goes in - no gums, no added sugar and no stabilisers.

Programmes usually cover nut milk, soy, oat, porridge and a self-clean cycle. Soy in particular must be heated properly rather than blended raw, which is what a dedicated machine handles and a blender does not. Run the self-clean cycle after each use, do not fill past the maximum line, and let it cool before opening. Anyone with a nut allergy in the household should be aware the machine will carry traces between uses.
