Tribest SB-132 Soyabella, Automatic Soy Milk Maker Machine with Tofu Kit Large, Silver, Large, Black/Stainless Steel

I've been making almond milk for a few years now, to avoid gums and weird chemicals. Also almond milk is very expensive, but mostly it's a health thing. I usually use a blender and a nut milk bag. Getting this has made making almond milk so much easier. It's way easier to clean the filter with a scrub brush and tap out the almond grounds into the garbage than it was to try and clean them out of the nut milk bag. I love that it comes already filtered and yes, there is a slight amount of grit in there that would not be present if it was run through and that milk bag but it's not enough to make it not drinkable. Much faster to set up and clean up and a lot less dripping all over my counters and floors... The mesh filter is very thin and so you do you have to be careful not to bend it while you're cleaning it, but that shouldn't be too difficult to manage. This one is a lot more compact than some of its competitors and significantly less expensive. Takes up a lot less room, and if you need to make two batches because you have a dozen children, it's literally the simplest thing in the world and takes less than a minute to make a second batch. But you don't have a store giant container. Mine makes 6 cups. I put it in a half gallon mason jar in the fridge.

I have had 2 Soybella since 2019. I even bought a third one and gave it to one of my sons. I drink and use a lot of soymilk, so I wanted to say, the machines are top quality. It is worth it to get a warranty because they do honor them. I have learned to clean the metal filters as quickly as possible but they really do clean up perfectly. I use a brush and dish soap. The little plastic cup that comes with it that screws onto the blender blade is perfect for grinding flax seeds, coffee, and spices. It’s easy to just put the accessories away and forget about them but don’t do that without exploring them a little bit. That little plastic grinding cup can replace a lot of other tools! Also, for straining the milk, I got a metal rimmed fine mesh strainer that fits into a metal bowl. It’s awesome! Easy to clean and I use it for so many other things, I am enclosing a photo of the product. Also, try the Miyako method of boiling hot water, pouring in dry soybeans, and soaking after 5 minutes of boiling. I use a rice cooker to do it. It makes soymilk taste so delicious! Something to do with enzymes that are released if you soak the beans without boiling them. I got the rimmed strainer on Amazon.

Second edit:; I have edited again to one star. In under thirty days, it died. The Tribest policy is that, yes, it’s covered for two years, but buyer must pay for return shipping. Amazon offered a replacement, but after 30 days, I am on my own. I absolutely loved what this machine could do with the grinding and the raw nut milks, but the production quality isn’t there, and Tribest warranty coverage. isn’t adequate. It’s boxed and going back to Amazon, and I must find a new milk maker. And i’m out a nifty flax seed grinder. Terribly disappointing. Onward. Edited to add: I am revising my rating from one stars to three stars. The nut milk functions on this machine, as well as the grinder, are really superb. I wish the soymilk function was easier, that is, that the basket didn’t get clogged with protein so quickly and easily. The amount of time needed to clean the soy proteins from the basket is crazy. But the nut milk it makes is phenomenal – actually better than the manual nut milk bag, which I did for years, and stopped doing because of the time involved. If you use cold water, you can have cold, raw nut milk in under 2 minutes (not counting soak time). I’ve also use the grinder for dry cured olives, herbs, and flaxseed. Much easier than using the Vitamix or Cuisanart — super convenient, super easy, super fast. Still disappointed that making soymilk really isn’t something I’ll be doing much of with this particular machine but the other functions work well. Original review: I’ve had this less than a week. I absolutely adored it. My soy milk was DIVINE. Baked great goodies with the okara. Second day at home, even after the little arm on the soy milk basket broke, I still loved it. No biggie, still worked, and Tribest is sending me a new one. Here’s the thing — the screen cannot be properly cleaned, no amount of scrubbing or soaking or anything removes the protein build-up. I followed the directions, and immediately cleaned the basket after use. I noticed the soymilk getting weaker, thought I was doing something wrong, and today I essentially made white water. What’s up? The screen is thoroughly clogged after LESS THAN A WEEK. I’ve scrubbed, soaked, and am now thinking of boiling, but I don’t want that stuff cooked on more. This not easier than a milk bag. Totally disappointed. Makes a fine nut milk, but I wanted soy milk, and okara for baking. I have 10 pounds of organic soybeans, that I guess will now last me several years, as there’s a strong probability I’ll have to return. Completely disappointing. I’m currently trying baking soda and vinegar — as much as I loved this machine, and I cleaned diligently after every use, this is crazy. Crazy!

I never was able to make a truly successful batch of tofu. The amount is very very small and I couldn’t get the water out. Not at all like the YouTube presenters. Didn’t work for me as a tofu maker. Very handy as a soymilk maker, takes all the work out.

Es genial. De verdad es un gran producto. Después de unos 20 usos me comenzó a presentar algunas fallas pero tengo el presentimiento de que esto no pasa seguido. Estaré devolviendo el producto, sin embargo creo que pediré otro por su facilidad de uso, de lavado y la calidad de la leche que produce.

Llevo un tiempo con ella y estoy muy contento. En 5 minutos tienes 1,3 litros de leche de lo que quieras (menos la de soja, que tarda 15), listos para beber, y todo limpio otra vez (con agua en un santiamén). 1/2 quilo de avena cuesta alrededor de 2€, y puedes sacar hasta 10 jarras, con lo que amortizas la inversión de comprarla. Lo más natural para la salud que he encontrado en cuanto a poder beber leche vegetal. Recomendable 100 x 100.

I am happy with my purchase - it is worth the money (current price 113,00 EUR) and using a power converter here in Europe. The instruction manual is clearly written and pretty thorough, making it easy to read and understand how to properly use the device. Note to the manufacturer: I would just like to add a critique on the accompanying manual regarding the instructions on soaking the beans for 4 to 6 hours or over night. Soaking dried beans for only 4 to 6 hours is not long enough to completely or correctly rehydrate the beans and could impact the proper "cooking" of the soybeans in the machine, making the taste of the resulting soymilk slightly "raw" which many people would find unpleasant. I would change the soak time to at least 10 hours or overnight. The quality seems fairly high as far as materials and the fact that the heating element is concealed away from direct contact with the contents, so less chance to scorch and overall easier and safer to clean. Also, the self contained filter makes preparation less laborious, less accident prone, and less messy by eliminating the need to pour milk through any external strainer or nut milk bag. It is not hard to clean if you just clean the filter and carafe with the provided cleaning brush and pad not too long after using it. I have had no issues with filter clogging. Tip: Once the filter is cool, remove the pulp and completely submerge the filter in a solution of water and baking soda (not baking powder!) to keep debris soft until you can wash it if you can not wash it right away. The only criticism I have is that it's a little hard to tell when the filter is securely/correctly attached to the head. I wish there was a more obvious indication as to when the filter is completely attached, like a sound or a click to eliminate the need for guesswork or fiddling. Anyway, I haven't failed to attach it properly so far. I found a recipe on YouTube that shows you how to make rice seasoning from leftover pulp/okara - just store the pulp in a freezer bag and keep it in the freezer until you collect enough pulp to roast in a pan until it dries out and season it with rice wine and soy sauce to your liking. I also use the remaining soybean pulp to thicken soups like Konbiji-Jjigae and add it to porridges and puddings to make them more creamy and rich. Edit/Update from 8 months of using the machine: The machine and all of its components are still in good working condition.

Despite being advertised on the UK Amazon site - and there being a UK compatible model available - this item is for the USA only and cannot be used with the 240 volt system in the UK. This information is not available in the product description. Unfortunately I will have to return it and buy another one that can be used in Europe and the UK.

Adoro. Super vale a pena!
