Tribest SB-130 Soyabella, Automatic Soy Milk and Nut Milk Maker Machine, Stainless Steel Large,Silver

Great quality, excellent value, and true multi-use function make the Tribest Soyabella an exceptional addition to any kitchen. For anyone looking to make okara, which has become nearly impossible to find in local Asian markets, this appliance provides the perfect solution. Recreating okara with homemade methods is notoriously difficult and rarely ends in success, but this machine handles the process beautifully, delivering the exact product needed while ensuring the soy pulp is rendered completely safe to consume. Even for those who are not particularly fond of drinking soy milk, the machine is worth it just to gain access to that premium quality okara without having to master complicated manual techniques. The versatility of this appliance extends far beyond standard hot and cold plant milks like oat, soy, or almond. The built-in grinding function is highly efficient, providing an impressively even consistency whether the goal is a fine powder or a coarse chop. Furthermore, the additional recipes found on the official website unlock even more utility, offering excellent directions for flavorful chai lattes, specialty drinks, hearty soups, and rich broths. It is a kitchen tool designed with true multi-use purpose, saving precious counter space by eliminating the need for separate gadgets. Tribest Soyabella has benn in the market for well over a decade unlike the fresh crop of nut-milk makers. In terms of build and design, the machine is durable, highly child-safe, well-crafted, visually appealing, and operates with a very low noise level. There is no 'cooking odor' or 'burning plastic' smells as with other typs of processors. While the mesh screens do require a little bit of extra elbow grease to get completely clean, the included brush and scrubby pad make the task easy) is well worth it for the quality of product it yields.. The rest of the unit wipes clean in just moments. Compared to other milk makers on the market, the value offered here is simply unmatched. The cheaper options and the ridiculously expensive models available typically only perform one single function. The Soyabella does so much more at a mere fraction of those high prices, making it a reliable and budget-friendly investment that delivers outstanding performance week after week.

UPDATE JANUARY 2023: This little milk maker is still going strong! I use it religiously and it'snever given me problems. I even (accidentally) got the head of the unit wet; it glitched out at first, but I let it dry out and it's been fine ever since. When this unit goes bad, I will absolutely buy another! UPDATE APRIL 2022: I definitely don't regret this purchase! I did have a minor incident where the screen wasn't locked securely in place (my fault) and came off during the grinding process. That action caused the blades to poke a hole through my screen. Since this unit comes with 2 screens (one for nut and one for rice milk) I just started using the rice milk screen to make my nut milk and honestly, I don't see the difference. I still need to buy the extra screen to have on hand, but I believe I have to do this through the manufacturer; extra screens are not sold on Amazon (as of this writing.) This is STILL a wonderful purchase for me. It's sturdy, easy to operate, simple to clean, and will save me hundreds of dollars a year, with an extra bonus of not having to throw away hundreds of wax containers a year. ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM SEPTEMBER 2021: Pros: * Easy to clean. Not sure why some of these reviews talk about it being hard to clean. Very simple, even the filter. * Easy to use. I make oat milk and I use oat groats to do it. Rolled oats made a slimy mess for me. I use 1 cup of oat groats, fill the water to the first fill line inside the carafe, press MILL 6 times (it grinds for a few seconds then stops. I repeat this process 6 times for thicker milk), then add 1 teaspoon of pink salt and 1/2 teaspoon of stevia, and sometimes I'll also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Then voila! We have fresh oat milk everyday in 2 minutes. Cons: * one batch makes just a little over a 1/2 gallon. You have to make 2 batches if you go through it quicker, but it's not that much more time or effort to do so. * this may seem silly but the MILK and the MILL button are right next to each other and to make nut milk, you have to use the MILL button. I haven't made anything with the MILK button so not even sure what that does. I only mention this because it was confusing in the vague instructions, and MILK and MILL or similar words with (apparently) two different functions. It would be easy to accidentally press the wrong button. * which leads me to the last con which is poor instructions. The instructions themselves aren't horrible, but there's no recipe or anything inside to use as a guideline. I created my recipe through trial and error. It's a great purchase. Has saved me a ton of money from having to buy oat milk at the store, and I'm no longer throwing out oat milk containers. I've used it every day for 3 months and have not had any issues. Very happy with my choice in nut milk makers.

I absolutely love this gadget which is yet very very time saving. My husband and I wanted respectively pure almond and soy milks. After I received it, I soaked 1 cup (supplied too) of almonds and 1 of beans for 6 hours each and made my milk, one with the milk attachment supplied with it and the other with the soy. I found a very good video easy to follow step by step that suggests that it is better to buy blanched almonds which I did not know then. I drained nuts and beans and I peeled them, but it seems it not necessary. Then I poured first the nuts in the milk attachment, took care it was well fixed to the upper bast of the soybella and poured one liter of water into the soybella body. I put the upper part into place and pressed mill (Attention: milk option is for soy !!!!) 3o s later the machine stops, but I redid the operation 4 more times and obtained a very good result. I just added Madagascar vanilla, one drop and that was it. My husband loved it. Then I repeated all the previous steps to make soy milk, but: I picked up the soy attachment, and I pressed on milk. It takes more time to make soy milk, more or less 15 min, and it is also more noisy so do not panic, it is normal. The most important things are to attach well the drainers to the upper part of the soybella (you have indications engraved on the attachments) and to not overpour water (there are also water levels indicated inside the Soybella body). You have a sensor if if is too filled, but you do not want to create a mess anayway. In option you can buy a drainer set in option to make tofu (if you have a Greek yogurt drainer use it). 1 cup every 1 liter is pretty economical. The obtained "milk" should be kept in the fridge, but not more than 5 days. The Soybella seems sturdy, stainless steel is ok. The other parts are in plastic. Do wash by hand, but do not put the upper part or body in water and detach the electric cable when you wash for evident safety reasons. This appliance that looks like a boiler comes also with a brush and an agressive kind of sponge that I would not use to not make stikes on the stainless steel, but that is just me. Clean all attachments and the Soybella asap or it will be a pain. I like the fact it does not take that much space, but I would have loved a box to tidy up the attachments.

I am absolutely furious that I ever parted with the cash for this product (and it is NOT exactly cheap). I decided to buy it based on the many positive reviews it had and figured that I should shell out the extra $$$ for something reliable and robust. Some flimsy Made-In-China quality machine did not interest me. So I used it once to make raw coconut milk. It did an excellent job. I was thrilled. No more making coconut milk by hand, which, if you have ever endeavoured such a task will know that it is very time-consuming. I was so happy and excited I could have gone to bed with the da*n thing; it worked so well and was so sleek and handsome and.. everything I thought it would be. I made milk a second time. Again, no problems. I was on Cloud Nine. The third time Soyabella came out to greet the world and to make more milk it didn't even turn on. I looked at the ¨Troubleshooting¨section of the User's Manual and was advised to wait 4-5 days because water may have gotten into the head causing it to not respond. Which there was no way it could have because I was so careful with that. But I did as was advised and 5 days later, took the machine out to make another batch of coconut milk and... Nada. The machine was. Dead. My husband noticed that something sounded loose inside the head so we took it apart with a screwdriver and the entire godda** machine was BURNT. Yep. Burnt to a CRISP. And nothing I can do to replace it because I was out of town when the machine was delivered to me, meaning I had missed the 10-day cut off line for sending in the warranty request. That, and I do not live in the US so basically, I am screw**. If you are fond of throwing money down the toilet and wasting your time, then buy this machine. If you don't. AVOID at all costs.

I have had this soymilk maker for maybe two years now, and I think it's a really good option for its price. It works as advertised, and with some trial and error I have figured out how to simplify the process so that prep and cleanup are easy. I have never had any problems with it boiling over. However I did have a problem with the vibration of the machine during the grinding phase making it "migrate" right off the counter and fall onto the floor making a big mess (and requiring replacement, as the screen came off and tangled in the blade and both were ruined). So now I always make sure it's on a secure spot from which it can't jump off any cliffs. If I start the beans soaking in the morning, then I'll make the milk at night before I go to bed and let it sit overnight. This is very important to simplify the cleaning process. The milk is way too hot to deal with anyway right after it's made, but when it's had a good chance to cool off, it's much easier to clean the milkscreen. At first I would spend way too long having to scrub all the little mesh holes clear again when it hadn't sat for long enough. I nearly gave up. But for whatever reason with an overnight sit, only a basic rinse and light scrub is necessary. If you just set the head with screen attached into a sturdy bowl to drip while you pour the milk out and clean out the canister (which isn't too hard to do without getting water into the electric part), then you can unscrew the screen (and press a little more soymilk out of the okara/grounds). It's not too hard to clean the head, though of course you should be careful of the sharp blade. And you can experiment with different nuts etc. I've hit on a combo of one little cup of soybeans and one ounce of raw almonds (unblanched is fine) to make a really nicely flavored soymilk. When it's done I add a pinch of salt and a spoonful of agave syrup and it's perfect for my morning tea. I have to say Tribest's customer service sucks. They don't answer emails--not a peep, nothin', despite a number of attempts--and they're not very helpful over the phone. And as another reviewer pointed out, the manual isn't that great. The instructions for making almond milk, for example, are just wrong. But the product is definitely good once you figure out how to use it.

I’ve had fresh soy milk from NYCs oldest tofu maker, Fong On, and always wished I could get that kind of soy milk regularly, but never found a store that carried that quality near me. I can’t believe how incredible it comes out when I make it in this machine. I did quite a bit of research in the best methodology, including pouring boiling water over the soy beans for about 15 or 20 minutes and kind of rubbing them to get some of the skins off before soaking them for at least 12 hours in cool water. You also kind of have to play with the ratios. I use about 3/4 or a little bit more of the included measuring cup of dry beans and fill the water somewhere between Max and minimum. Sometimes I add a few cashews for richness. I’ve also made rice, cashew, and almond milk, which all came out incredible. I’ve used unsweetened soy milk for Ramen soup. Sometimes I put a tablespoon of maple sugar in hot soy milk for latte which is the most incredible thing. I look forward to trying more recipes. You just have to be patient - you might make a few batches that aren’t as good to begin with until you get some practice! I definitely look forward to using it for other functions, but I make fresh soy milk almost every other day now! If you wanna sweeten cashew milk, put a date or two in the screen - it really leaves you disappointed in anything you can ever buy at the store! Always use a pinch of salt too.

I absolutely love this machine!! I have not used it to make soy milk though. I am a raw foodist so I got this amazing little time saver to make raw almond milk, nut butters, and for grinding flax/nuts/spices. I have found this machine to do all of these things absolutely perfectly & without any type of problem. I have had mine for 3 years and haven't had one mechanical problem. Other reviewers have complained about... The sound - I actually enjoy the sound because you can hear it working & can stop the machine if you just want a coarse grind or what not. Really it is not that loud. A sharp blade - well yeah I'm glad I haven't had to send it back to be resharpened. Just be careful when you are handling the unit and you won't cut yourself - you know how to use a knife right? Same principles apply here. Hard to clean - just make sure you clean the screens right away & don't let them sit or else it might be a bit more difficult. Most of the time I can just empty out what I was making, add water, and run to clean it thoroughly. The milk doesn't taste good - well this is probably the operators fault. There are recipes you can follow and if you expect to just throw some soy beans or almonds in there with some water and expect it to taste like the store bought with tons of other stuff added it really isn't going to happen. Try adding dates, vanilla, agave, sea salt, carob - whatever - be creative! Some have mentioned that they got water on the electrical components & had to wait for it to dry out...this has never happened to me. I would think as long as your not throwing things around and spraying water all over your kitchen you shouldn't have a problem with this...calm down, open your eyes, and operate the machine properly. I guess in today's day and age we expect everyone else to take care of everything for us while we run around like morons. This machine is very easy to use, produces great results, is fairly priced, and helps to save the environment. I highly recommend it.

First of all it's very confusing to use, they don't tell you what the warming 15-minute heating function is for. Umm but it says "milk" and "Mill" when making nut or seed milk it always calls for the "mill" function. I did read that the "milk" button it said it's for porridges and soups. WHY CALL IT MILK THEN?!! So I don't freaking get it. The screen gets clogged pretty fast. I tried to milsim dates into my milk and it kind of doesn't work that great. but if you just throw the dates into the already made milk then you're going to have chunks I can guarantee you that. you're supposed to put them in the stainless steel basket but the holes get clogged up I feel like they should have included maybe one more basket with bigger holes. I'm not sure if it would help though. It has no instructions for making seed milk. What a nightmare cleaning this thing is. Don't get this wet, or this part! What a terrible design. I absolutely hate it. It does make tasty milk. and of course there's nothing here you can't do with a blender and some cheese cloth or a fine strainer. this is supposed to take the hassle out of it and although they have cool little holders for the strainers and a cool little cap for the motor part I just feel like if it was easier to wash and didn't clog the screen so fast it would be way better. I was making flaxseed milk and the problem with that is it gets clogged with the jelly substance really fast so I soaked my flax seeds overnight and rinse them really well and got most of the slime off the flax seeds and it came out a lot better. I think at a lower purchase price this would be worth it. But honestly I've heard really good things about just using a Vitamix and straining with cheesecloth. Problem of the Vitamix has those are a few hundred dollars. but if you're making smoothies and shakes and your own milk it kind of is worth it I think that is probably what I'm going to do when my blender dies is just buy a top-of-the-line badass Vitamix. 😯 This is going to save me quite a bit of money though, at $5 a half gallon for flax milk and I drink two to three containers a week this is easily going to pay for itself in time.

Estoy muy contenta con la máquina. Me llegó ayer y hoy ya he hecho dos tipos de leche vegetal. Primero leche cruda de almendras (previamente en remojo) con el programa "mill" que sale riquísima, nada que ver con la leche de almendras que puedes comprar en tetra brick y que viene con azúcar y aditivos. Le he echado dos dátiles remojados y un poquito de estevia para endulzar. La textura no es tan homogénea como la industrial pero lo asumo sin problemas por tener una leche más natural. Como estaba tan buena nos la bebimos en poco tiempo. Mi segundo producto fue la leche de arroz. Dejé un vaso medidor de arroz en remojo unas 6 horas y lo puse con agua hasta la línea máxima. Salió una leche más espesa que la de almendras hasta un poco cremosa, super deliciosa. Es mi favorita hasta ahora pero sé que haré muchos más experimentos. El manejo de la máquina es muy cómodo en comparación con hacer leche vegetal con una batidora de vaso y tener que filtrarlo después. La máquina te lo hace todo y al final se queda la pulpa en el filtro y se puede usar para cocinar. Al final hay que limpiar todos los componentes, sobre todo el filtro para que no se queden partículas en los agujeritos, según las instrucciones. La leche de arroz como va en caliente ha dejado unos restos pegados abajo que se quitan dejando el vaso en remojo durante unos minutos. Del proceso de limpieza no se salva nadie pero el resultado compensa, y mucho. En resumen 100 % recomendable.

It makes many different kinds of vegetable milk and also cooks warm preparations like oat flake. Very easy to use and incredibly rapid. The customer service of the producer is also extremely helpful. I have already recommended the product to friends

Ottima!!! Utilizzata solo una volta per ora, con soia gialla in ammollo dalla sera prima. Appena pronto il latte è molto caldo, ma è buonissimo. Non ho aggiunto nulla e non ha il sapore del "fagiolo". L'ho bevuto anche il giorno dopo (ne ho fatto una bottiglia da 1l che conservo un frigo) ed è ancora più buono. L'unico accorgimento, x me, è quello di non mescolare il latte appena pronto, ma lasciare depositare quel po' di okara (che ho tenuto x altre preparazioni) che passa attraverso il filtro. Siccome c'è anche un filtro simile a quello che si usa per il latte, ma per fare la crema di riso, la prossima volta provo ad usarlo x fare un secondo filtraggio. Se avete dei panni che usate per il formaggio x es, potete usare quelli. È corredata di manuale in inglese, ma è accompagnata da un manuale stampato su fogli A4, a colori e in maniera accurata, in italiano e ci sono tutte le informazioni necessarie per pulizia e modalità di utilizzo. Io la consiglio!!!

This was my second attempt at buying a nut milk maker. This is superior with great instructions, a warranty and number to call with any issues. Easy to use and makes soy milk perfectly. Very happy with this product.

I am using this Soymilk Maker for more than 1 year. It is working perfectly! Easy to use and to wash!
