Non-dairy milk options have exploded over the past decade. Soy, almond, oat, and hemp milk are just a few of the popular alternatives to dairy milk. I personally prefer the creamier consistency of oat milk for my coffee, while almond milk is my milk of choice for cereals. Because of this, there’s always more than one variety of dairy-free milk in my fridge. Making milk at home has always sounded tedious and out of reach, but Nutr is here to change that.
The Nutr is a compact “milk maker,” a machine with blending and heating capabilities. It comes with a little recipe book, a strainer, and a tablespoon for measurements. With only one button to operate, it can make cold, warm, or hot nut milk. There’s also a keep warm and boil function, which is great for making coffee, lattes, and other warm drinks. The Nutr’s ability to reach boiling temps is important as certain milk, such as soy milk, need to be boiled for safe consumption. The machine even has a countdown of how many minutes are left until the milk is ready, a feature my impatient heart loves.
Anecdotally, I tried making peanut milk one day with my regular blender. I used the same ratio of peanuts to water, but it just didn’t taste as creamy. It does feel like the whole world of plant-based milk has opened up to me. I’d never considered blending and straining my own, but the Nutr machine makes the experience non-intimidating and easy.
Candidly, I still prefer boxed oat milk with my coffee. I’ve been using the same brand for years, and I’m nearly reliant on its consistency and flavor. However, thanks to this nut milk-making machine, I now also drink a glass of warm soy or peanut milk with my cup of coffee every morning.
