Really worth it that much?
Do you miss the fortified nature of store bought but garbage tasting milk?
It's probably made back what it cost us several times over.
We do fine without fortification as we are proud weak vegans.
We get milk at 2-3 bucks a litre. Beans are ~4 bucks a kg. Which I think makes about 6 litres. So 4 becomes about 20 bucks.
The machine is 500 bucks. Hmm about 33 litres to break even. Probably around one year of milk.
Ignoring any improvements in taste and the lack of annoying running out of milk and bulky shopping trips.
Hmm. Not terrible for a luxury item. What do you do with the okara?
Also does that self cleaning thing make veggie juice? it says fruit, unsure if veggies are too pulpy.
I have a soy milk maker (Soyajoy, circa 2001), though I haven't used it in many years. But when I did, I would save the okara and make it into little "meatballs". I cannot remember the recipe (though I think arrowroot was a key ingredient) but I am pretty sure it came from Bill Shurtleff's "Book of Tofu".
