Has anyone made pasta with it? How did it work? Can you make almond milk with it? Has anyone had any problems with it?

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

Yes, I just happened to have almond milk on hand, so I gave it a whirl. Works perfectly fine.

I haven't tried it for grain, but it works for everything else. I made pasta sauce by grilling some tomatoes that were drizzled in olive oil and some spices, then pulsed them in the blender and it made a perfect sauce.

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

I have not tried it - but my vegetarian daughter says you can use it successfully on Almond Milk.

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

I have made almond butters that are amazing. I did have to add oil, just as with a Vitamix. Almonds are hard, and more difficult to process than other nuts. I tried soaking raw almonds and it did not work. just became a gooey mess which I threw out. With the roasted almonds I find I have to pulse manually and use the stick, and it takes longer than the advertised minute. But, end result is great. Cleaning is easy. warm water a drop of dish soap and use the cleaning program. Then again with just warm water.

My take is you could make "coconut water" rather than coconut milk.The machine isn't an extractor - it essentially pulverizes what goes into the cup and mixes it with the (required) liquid in the tank.I've added some shredded coconut (either fresh or re-constituted - not dry) to almonds almonds for a coconut-flavored almond milk.If you're after actual coconut milk/nectar, a juice/extractor might be a better bet. But you should still check with manufacturer, as there are different grades/strengths of juicers.Also, definitely check with Soyabella's manufacturer and let us know if you can, in fact make coconut milk with it.

I tried the almond milk and it didn't froth up very well for me. So far my favorite is Lactose Free Milk which I heat in microwave about 20-25 seconds and then froth up....yum.

I have yet to use whole milk. I know that 1% and soy milK work well. My wife used almond milk the other day and nothing happened.

Yes! I have recently made the switch from cows milk to almond milk. I was a bit worried about frothing the almond milk in the nespresso. But I tried it and it worked perfectly. I'm so happy it can froth anything. I love my nespresso.

Yes, my spouse has made pasta with it an it seems to work fine. She had to improvise as there were no directions with it.

I have had mine for a little over a year. Love it!! Have had no problems with it. However, consistency of the dough is important for making successful pasta!.

Almond milk does froth quite nicely. I cannot compare this machine with any others, but it gives a nice rich froth.

It was a little tricky to turn had to pull out then turn to the right setting. Otherwise no problems with the machine. Don't forget your first batch of pasta has to go to the compost as it is the one that removes the packing grease! Hope this helps. I have made lots of fresh pasta with this machine and have been pretty happy with it.

Yes, I always use it with milk.. Regular milk works best. I have used almond milk also but it doesn't turn out as well.

I have the pasta attachment instructions for the DLC7 pasta maker and would be happy to send same on to anyone who wants it...I find the pasta maker much too difficult to assemble and haven't used it in over 30 years. Originally purchased for $125.00 at Marshall Fields in Chicago. I now am back to using a manual Atlas machine.Asiana
