Soy milk makers can be divided into filtering types and non filtering types. But which is right for you?

Machines with filters generally have a sort of mesh basket around the blade, where the beans sit. This keeps the bean pulp confined inside the filter while the liquid soymilk is pushed out of the filter by the force of blending. Our older, discontinued models, had this feature. While filtering soymilk machines are a handy idea in theory, they pose some problems in reality. Mainly – they’re hard to clean. Especially if it gets dried on at all, pulp is hard to clean out of the small basket, and may eventually clog up the filter it is not rigorously cleaned each time. 

Because of this, we began experimenting with filter-less designs, and they became an immediate hit. Filter-less machines are a breeze to clean – a good rinse and wipe down does the job. Since the interior of the machine is all smooth stainless steel, there’s nowhere for pulp to get stuck. After making the milk, it can be strained with the sieve that we provide. This sieve is much easier to clean because its wide, open shape, which can be rinsed off in seconds under the tap. 

All of our soymilk makers have top-of-the-line filterless technology. To get rid of the gritty pulp found in even the most well-blended of milks, simply place stack the included sieve and pitcher and slowly pour the milk through. The sieve will filter out the pulp, and the milk is collected in the pitcher. It’s simple, but effective, and makes for silky-smooth milks. Enjoy!
