Soy milk is a healthy alternative to dairy product, and it can be used in smoothies or on cereal.
You can of course make it with normal kitchenware, if you just want to give it a try or have some fun.
But if you want to drink your own soy milk every day, you'd better buy a maker.
That way you can save much time on the processing, and you get more yields from the beans.
Most soy milk makers sold on the market help you do the grinding, boiling, stirring and filtering jobs.
You still need to soak the beans for hours beforehand yourself.
To choose a machine that suits your need, you will be looking at the following aspects: What is the yield of the machine? Machine for sure beats everyday kitchenware.
If you hate to waste beans, you should pay attention to yield.
How much amount can the machine produce per batch? If you have a big family that all drink it, you should buy a product that produce high amount per batch to save yourself some time of repeating the making process.
How easy is it to operate the machine? How many steps do you need to do to make it? Noisy level when the machine is operating.
Some folks are really sensitive to noise, especially in the morning.
How easy is it to clean the machine? Do you need to dismantle the machine to clean it? How easy is it to dismantle the soy milk maker? How does the machine look? Will it fit well in your kitchen? Shipping cost (if you buy online) and warranty.
