It’s a sustainability thing: You only make enough milk to use right then and there, no waste. The most milk you can ever make at one time is about 11 ounces, just shy of one cup. The Nutr is only big enough to blend single servings. So where does the Nutr fall short? Also in its size, actually. If you want to store it in a cabinet, it’s small enough to easily do so. If you want to leave it on the counter, it looks good enough for that. In either color (black or white) it’s incredibly sleek, and at its size, it’s a lot easier to store than the Almond Cow. Non-performance wise, the Nutr really shines with its looks and its size. Plus, that heat function means you can technically use the Nutr as an electric kettle, two machines in one. Even though the recipe guide used the warm or hot settings for actual creamers or hot drinks, it improved the quality of milks, and was always worth the wait.

Time and again, we preferred the milks that we blended on warm or hot, as it just combines everything more evenly. But for more complex milks-think coconut because it’s more fatty, or oat because it requires rehydrating the oats-running the machine on warm provided incredible, creamy results. For simple milks, like your average almond or cashew, you could blend it at room temperature, and the result would be great. The room temperature cycle took about two minutes.

The warm cycle took between five and 10 minutes. The hot cycle took around 15 to 20 minutes. When running cycles, the Nutr had three options: Hot, warm, and room temperature. But since the Nutr can fully boil water, it’s able to blend milk to a much nicer texture, and you can even make actual alternative creams and creamers-a godsend for vegan bakers. Every other difference was more in the realm of preference. It really comes down to Nutr’s ability to use heat. But, the Almond Cow is ideal for families, because it can make a lot more milk, and it does so faster and quieter. It’s better looking, smaller, and makes better milk. So I decided to put each through weeks of rigorous testing and make the definitive guide.Ī: Probably the Nutr. I desperately needed an at-home alternative milk maker, but with Nutr and Almond Cow, I wasn’t sure where to send my dollars. The results were not awful… But the juice was not worth the squeeze (nut milk not worth the milking?) for me.Īll this to say, I was crying out for this little kitchen gadget.

So, I turned our fridge into a science experiment full of mason jars soaking walnuts, cashews, almonds, and oats, and started blending my own alt milk. The long list of ingredients freaks me out, and the price of oat milk compared to the price of rolled oats makes me feel insane. But, I also can’t get behind store bought alternative milk.

And to this day, if I’m eating cereal, buying a latte, or following any recipe, I want whole milk, baby.īut in my current living situation, with a lactose intolerant girlfriend, I just can’t justify buying separate milks. But I guess my parents gave me my love of milk (and a genetic tolerance for it). My parents grew up on small farms, where they had cows and actually drank unpasteurized cow’s milk-way before weightlifting dudes on Twitter called it a superfood. I’m as much of a Milk Enjoyer as any adult man should be.
