- If you've ever wanted to make almond milk at home without the mess, The Almond Cow plant-based milk maker is worth checking out.
I've had the Almond Cow for about 8 months and it works really really well to make plant-based milks (I've made both oat and pecan milk easily).
I'll walk you through how to use the Almond Cow, some of the best features, and show you how to make almond milk in less than 2 minutes.

I appreciate that you showed the entire cycle! 🙌🏿 Great review!
Thank you so much! I wanted to show how short it actually was! When I used it the first time, I kept thinking "Really? That's it?"
Thanks for the review. To me, the main reason for making your own is strictly for the delicious taste and texture you get VS the store bought. Also, no added fillers and chemicals. However, you’re using only 1 cup of almonds to 6 cups of water is not going to get the real good taste; it will taste like store bought. What I’ve done is followed you example BUT then threw out the almond debris and added another cup of almonds and put it back using the same just made almond milk and ran it again. This time you have the milk from a 2nd cup of almonds and the flavor and texture are outstanding. Just my opinion.
I’ll have to try that! I do prefer the taste of thicker plant-based milks. That’s a great idea.
You could always use that almond pulp you threw out for other things.
@@src5769 what could you use it for??? I'm all ears :)
@@danmoriarty6901 I use the pulp for either pancakes or cookies, no bake or baked. There's plenty of recipes on YT.

Thanks for showing the process, you’re the only person who showed what’s left in the basket.
My pleasure! I thought that was an important part of the machine.
Its hard to explain it all, you should search the internet they are explaining it better but to make it short this is why you should always soak your almonds if you want the full benefit of it ...
Why you should always soaked almonds. The reason is simple, the skin of almonds has tannin, which inhibits the absorption of nutrients.
Almonds also harbor antinutrients, which impair the digestion and absorption of good nutrients, such as calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E, omega-3 and magnesium. Soaking them break down the skin and also significantly reduce antinutrient levels releasing enzymes that are essential for the digestion and the absorption of the good nutrients, this is very useful, especially if you are planning to make almond milk.
Purchased it. Use it. Appreciate it. Glad I bought it. 🥳
Thank you, you did a great job on the demo. I am ready to get one.
Storing and using almond milk in a glass jar I'm sure is also much better for our health rather than buying plastic cartons
Thank you! Have been thinking of purchasing this and will definitely be buying one thanks to your review.
I'm glad it helped you decide! We have loved having one, and it makes making our own almond milk so much easier! I hope you enjoy.
Amazing video!!! Thank you! I’ll definitely going to buy one.
Awesome video. Well done. Thanks for all the info. Looking fwd to trying the machine. Hopefully it works well. ❤️
Great demonstration. I bought this on kickstarter a few years ago....i haven’t used in a while....i will be making it again soon. Just bought the milk container....thanks for sharing!
Thank you! We’re still using it and loving it over here. I’m experimenting with oat milks and stuff now!
Thank you for your demonstration; very helpful .
we have a joyoung milk maker. we just throw in the nuts with a pinch of salt and water. press the button and walk away. it grinds, cooks and finishes it in less than 30 minutes. any milk maker is worth it. fresh is always better and no gums and thickeners. great video.
Thanks for the great video, very help to see the process in real time.
Thank you for this! Definitely about to buy now!🙌🏾
I hope you enjoy! It's so nice making your own plant-based milks, and knowing exactly what's in them!
Thanks Mila for your review!! you are so sweet and I really enjoyed the explanation. I also get the code now, and I'm going to purchase mine. 🌈✨❤️
You are so kind! Thank you :). I hope you enjoy your Almond Cow!
I’m seriously considering this for Mother’s Day, and I think I’m going to do it after seeing this. I love oat milk, but I don’t love the additives in it. I also do a lot of baking and I would like to do it dairy free but it’s harder when there’s always so many additives. This is perfect!
I have to say we are still huge fans of ours - both for oat and almond milk! It's a pricey buy up front, but saved us a lot of money in the long run.
Thank you for showing the entire process- even how loud it was!
Of course! I thought the most surprising part was how fast it made almond milk, but also that it's not actually that loud. Thank you for watching!
When mine first started, I jumped through the roof the sound was so loud lol I wasn’t expecting the noise
@@vanessa1474 I definitely didn't expect it to be so loud lol!
Received mine today, cannot wait to play with it 💞
Fyi I love your kitchen tiles
You are so sweet, thank you so much!
You are absolutely adorable. Thank you 🙏🏻 great vid. X
I am ordering mine soon, I’m going to get the deluxe kit! I agree with you, I think it will more than pay for itself!
I hope you enjoy!
@@TheHangryWoman I am enjoying it just running into issues with bitter/sour taste in my smoothies...I’m going through the process of troubleshooting
I ordered one of these. Should be here in a week or so. Looking forward to quick homemade plant based milk.
I love this! So glad I watched your review, you seem so sweet and genuine 😁 definitely got a subscriber here
You are the sweetest! Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Yes they tedo open and the tudoor was in my car I had rrrthe on it
@@TheHangryWoman you Ouida to get ort
Omg now that is really cool. I never heard of that i thought you were going to put almonds and whatever else in a blender. You really do have everything! 😂 thank you
😂😂😂 the blender method works too, but you have to put it through cheese cloth to strain it multiple times and it’s way messier. I had to have convenience and was SO excited when I found this thing. We drink a lot of almond milk. So it has ended up being way worth it!
you are adorable!!! thanks for the tutorial, super helpful 💛
Thank you so much!! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful!
Good wholesome review. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! 😊
Great tutorial ! I have one that’s about the same called a soyabella . I think yours is bigger though . I love making coconut milk with dry coconut flakes. Also You can dry the pulp in a dehydrator or oven and you’ll have coconut or almond flour !
That is so cool! I love cooking almond flour especially, so I’m going to have to try that!
Bought one! Love it!
Good choice! I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's definitely one of my favorite kitchen additions.
Thank You! That was way more helpful than their CZcams!
Thanks for saying that! Glad I helped to demo it in a real-world view. It is pretty easy to use and makes fresh. Plant-based milks!
Thanks for an honest review! We have another kind that we got several months ago... so much better and healthier to make your own and add what you want in it..
I agree! It's nice knowing what ingredients are in there and that I can make it whichever way I want to! Thanks for watching :)
@@TheHangryWoman yes I agree! I’m new to your channel... looking forward to seeing more!😀
@@miabeia3117 what other brand do you have?
@@lisetteestrada7407 it’s called Nutra Milk
Thanks for the review. I am trying to decide between the almond cow versus chefwave one
Thank you for this helpful video 👍🙂
Appreciate you watching!
Nice video. Thanks.
(Click on the time to jump to the scene in the video, lmao ❤❤)
3:27.5 is where the review is a little funny- insomuch as 3:46 , 4:06, lol lol, & 4:26 lol lol, the awkward silent pause lmaaaooooo.....
❤❤❤❤❤ The Review, excellent descriptions! Liked and subscribed!
❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙃✊✊✊✊❤❤
LOL thank you!
You’re so cute! Your video was so helpful! I bought one after watching your video!
Awe thank you! I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for doing this beautiful video! Definitely helped but do not live in the USA so I wonder if they do shipping with a guarantee that it will arrive safely. This is amazing 🤩 really want it!
I'm not sure if they do, but definitely email their customer service and ask. I've had to contact them for some questions, and they were really fast and great about answering! Thank you for watching the video!
I’m thinking of getting one! Thanks for the review, it was very helpful! Would you say the taste and texture are similar to store bought almond milk (of course without all of the additives)? I think I would mostly try to make oat milk.
Yes definitely! The less water you use, the creamier it gets and the best part is that you can add your own flavorings to it like vanilla or dates for sweetness. The biggest benefit to me was being able to adjust the sweetness, or just make it plain for cooking. I think it's better than store bought tbh.
I loved your video and my milk is awesome 💕
Very refreshing
Thank you! I really love making my own almond milk!
Is there an added benefit to using this machine compared to using a blender such as blend tec and a nut milk bag to strain it?
How durable is the blade and do they sell replacements
אחת המפחידות אמאל’ה
You should get a jar or can that fits down in the container to easily press out leftover milk.
Awesome idea!
Why would I choose this over using a Vitamix or a Kitchen Aid Pro Line blender?
thank you for the review. Will the almond cow heat up the water?
Nope! It just blends the contents of the filter basket.
Thank you.
When I make vegan milks at home, it separates as it sits. Does it happen to milk made with milk made with the almond cow?
It will still separate because the fat in the almonds is separating from the water, but a good shake will get it to reincorporate and mix the settling back in.
I can’t find the link to purchase. Do you have the affiliate link?
Here you go! It gets you a small discount on the machine! i.refs.cc/hmuJLRCC?smile_ref=eyJzbWlsZV9zb3VyY2UiOiJzbWlsZV91aSIsInNtaWxlX21lZGl1bSI6IiIsInNtaWxlX2NhbXBhaWduIjoicmVmZXJyYWxfcHJvZ3JhbSIsInNtaWxlX2N1c3RvbWVyX2lkIjo1MDc1NjkxMTl9
Hi I would like to order one almond cow machine I live in the UK so do you know how much I would be charged for tax and delivery to get it over here? Would appreciate your help so I can order one. Thanks again for the video x
You're welcome! I'm not too sure, as I bought mine in the USA, however, reach out to their Customer Service email and I'm sure they can help!
YOU are so cute. I love you and of course thank you for the review :)
You're the best!
You are so cute. I enjoy watching your Video. Love you 💗🐬✨🌻
You are so sweet - thank you!
Love the video, how long do it last with the sea salt added?
Awe thank you! We usually drink it all within 3-4 days. I wouldn't keep it for more than 7 days without salt, and 10 days with. You can also tell when it spoils because it smells SO bad lol!
@@TheHangryWoman ok thanks 😊
where can i buy this, from europe
I'm only aware of it being sold through the Almond Cow Website.
Can I make rice milk with it?
Absolutely!
@@TheHangryWoman thank you!
almond cow, has a 2hour returns policy. So 5 days after our order, we found out we would be hot with an extra $65 tax charge, as they choose to import this through the UK. They refused initial to refund this. So we ended up having to pay the tax charge as we didn't believe they would refund the cost of the machine. Don't go with this company. There are significantly cheaper alternatives available
Sorry to hear that was your experience Amy. Good info for others in the UK. I'm in the USA, and the return policy is 30 days for the machine, and accessories for it cannot be returned.
You never want to use dry almond, you always need to soak them all night. If you dont then all the toxine contain in the almond are gonna go in your milk. The soaking is NOT just to make them softer its to remove all the toxine in the nuts.
Some people don’t soak before, but they roast them instead. Same purpose?
Interestingly, the vitamix recipe book doesn’t reference soaking them before.

@@TheHangryWoman no roasting almond is not gonna change anything, only soaking them will work. 😊
There should never be any toxic chemicals in almonds !
@@maryannknox7158 I did not say toxic chemicals, I m talking about the natural toxine in almond. Read what I wrote earlier, I explain it.
Best demonstration I’ve seen! Thank you! I just purchased and received my Almond Cow. Do you have any trouble shooting tips? When I set up my almond cow with water and almonds and put the machine together just as you demonstrated, the machine won’t grind the nuts. I get a blinking light. Tried several times and am soooo frustrated! Please advise and thank you!
I would reach out to their customer service to double check. The very first time I used mine, I didn't put the strainer onto the base right, and it wouldn't work properly. I had to realign to make sure the strainer was flush. Try that, but if it doesn't seem to blend, definitely reach out. They are so helpful and very fast with answers!
Thanks Mila! Looking forward to more of your videos ❤️
I have it ... meh.
too much talking. get to the point.
