Almond Cow Vs Mio Mat Comparison Which Plant Milk Maker is Right for You? 

Soaking the nuts is not about if the machines can blend them or not. Soaking is extremely important to deactivate certain things that are not good for the body. It is actually quite dangerous to keep consuming nuts, lentils etc without soaking for extended periods of time. You will destroy your health eventually

Thanks! You just help me decide! Placed my order after watching this for the MioMat

Hi Sarah: I don't own the Mio Mat, but I had the Almond Cow for a year (possibly longer). I enjoy the Almond Cow but the issue I have with is that the end result is watery or thin milk. After experimenting I find that soaked cashews does make the milk very creamy & smooth. The more cashews you use it will become thick. Most of the time I use a half of cup to 3/4 of a cup more than the main ingredient for it to become thick. For example I may use a cup of oats then use one & half cups or more of cashews for this to become thick. This works for me. I tried soaked cashews & unsoaked. I prefer soaked overnight. It's easier on the Almond Cow to blend, it a smoother & creamier & thick. You can soak the cashews for a few hours. The longer you soak your nuts you will end up with a better end result. From time to time I still do the blender in conjunction with the nut milk bag. I do this is from time to time because all that cleaning feels like a chore & it gets tiring for me. I would like to try that Mio Mat. I just have to think about it. That 20 - 25 minutes for me is too long for me. I will consider it.

This is an informative video. I love almond milk & use for smoothies, overnight oats, match latte or just a glass. There are so many choices out there. I'm still unsure which I would prefer as a beginner to making almond milk. I like that the almond cow has all the recipes & filter.

I'm with you,I prefer thicker coconut milk and I can't wait to see the difference in the 2 video you plan to make!

Great review! Thank you for making this video. Lovely!

Almond flour is great for creamy milk Heat the milk to 150 degrees Celsius in a sauce to thicken

Hi Sarah, so I have the MioMat and I do love it. I blanch my almonds overnight so there is no pulp. However, their is still such a grainy texture to the milks. I reached out to MioMat and they said I would need a milk bag to smooth the textures more. Do you find this with the Almond Cow as well. And what do you do for your textures of milk to make then better? Thanks so much in advance. Love your reviews ❤️

I saw on a review that the oat milk made in the miomat comes put slimy cause it heats it up. Have you found this to be true?

Life-hack - If you use blanched almonds you don't have to strain the almond milk! 😉 If you soak them there will be no pulp at all. 😊

I'm thinking I'll maybe go for the MioMat, unless I decide on a smaller thing (lower wattage, etc).

Does the mio mat heat up the milk? Is there a way to do it without heating?

What is the discount code for the miomat? When I click your link it has no code on it. Thank you.

Great Review! I am still on the fence about which one to buy but I am leaning to towards the Almond Cow because of the convenience and speed but you bring up good points about the Mio Mat.

How much nuts does the Mio Mat machine hold?
