Tribest SB-132 Soyabella, Automatic Soy Milk Maker Machine with Tofu Kit Large

Claro que todo se puede hacer manualmente, pero definitivamente este aparato hace ahorrar mucho tiempo y esfuerzo.

It took me some trial and errors to finally figure out how best to use the machine for soy milk making.Things I learned:1. Twist the lid and the mesh cup tightly. To test this, hold the lid and pull the mesh cup downward. If they stay closed, then it’s screwed on correctly.I destroyed first mesh cup because it was not tight. The blade become loose and was swimming around, it dented the mesh cup.2. Amount of water and beans all depends on how thick you want. I notice on mine machine, the minimum water level is really in between the min and max.Also as long you can fit the beans in the cup, it will work. So all the time. I measured and weight the soybean is not really necessary.3. I bought a 2nd machine when it was on sale(so I can replace the mesh screen that I damaged). it is also nice to have extra mesh screens. I can do 2 batches simultaneously.4. The instructions that came with the machine is not very clear.

Just comparing price and features, it's close to perfect. Because it's only $100.Below are a few points that can be upgraded.1. The installation and removal of the filter is not easy, and it is often stuck, which makes it difficult to remove.2. The gap between the motor and the base is too large. It is not easy to operate before and after the end of the work. Especially disassembling the motor for cleaning without a handle at the top.3. The bottom of the kettle was stuck when the soy milk was used for the first time, and there was a piece of black garbage. The material of the kettle is not good.If your budget is tight, it can meet your temporary needs. But if you want to use it for more than a year, it is not recommended to buy it.

I use this gadget most of my days because I'm vegetarian and with it extract quality soy milk for pennies to later make stuff as: lattes, tofu, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese. Also comes with a recipes booklet with many soups that are actually quite nice

The product itself is wonderful. The instructions, LED lights and even customer were not very helpful. I had to learn by trial and error. I now consider myself an expert on Soy Milk and Oat Milk.So here are some tips on both to help you not make the same mistakes I made and remove some frustration.Soy Milk:1. Soak the beans in boiling water for at least 4 hours2. Rub and pinch the beans to remove the skins3. Siphon off as many skins as you can. If you do not do this, you will get bitter milk and horrible yogurt.4. Make sure you fill the pitcher with hot water above the lower line and lower volume marker, basically in between the 2 levels. If you don't the machine will beep continuously (which is not explained in the manual and customer service did not know what the beeps meant). I figured out that it meant I did not have enough water. I first thought it was too much water and the overflow sensor was going off. None of this is explained in the manual.5. Clean the screen until it looks brand new. This is not easy after cooking the soy milk but otherwise, it will clog and never be able to get clean.Oat Milk:1. The recipe on the website is useless, and in my opinion, all wrong. I found one on YouTube that works great.2. Website says to use rolled oats, I use Oat Groats. Big difference. Rolled oats basically produce a white slime, while oat groats produce a wonderful milk.3. I use 1 little measure cup of oat groats and nothing else. It tastes great.4. The manual says to press the "Mill" button 6 times. First they should have called it something else because "Mill" and "Milk" are too similar and I pressed the wrong one the first time, big mistake as you do not want to cook Oat Milk.5. Also, I pressed the Mill button 6 times in a row thinking that it would do what it was supposed to do. I ended up with watery milk. I finally figured out that I needed to press the Mill button, then wait until it ran and started flashing again, then press it again. Then repeat this 6 times (I actually do it 7).6. The result is awesome oat milk that I drink every day on my cereal.Hope this helps others. Also, I always make double batches so if I could do it again, I would buy one that made more milk because that would cut my cleanup and prep time in half.
