Thanks Phil! It really is a time saver and makes me accountable for what I’m putting in my body. Really trying to get away from processed foods and not being able to pronounce the ingredients in something. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos and commenting. God Bless!
Hi there, I really do love this unit and use it weekly. I actually bought a second one for our winter location! I feel so satisfied when I can just walk right past all that creamer and milk I used to buy ALL the time! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Blessings! 😊
Hi Nicholas, Yessss it has been a money saver for my family! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God Bless!
We just got one of these too and I've been wondering how much we can add to the mix. I love the idea of putting pitted dates in there. I wasn't sure if it would gum up the machine too much though. Thanks for sharing your video!
Hi there, yes it’s so fun to try different things with this fabulous machine! Maybe try frozen fruit too? I did and it added a fun twist to the nut milk! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God bless! 💕
I have a chef wave machine too. I just made pumpkin seed milk using the macadamia nut feature. My only concern about the machine is how effective it is for deep cleaning. I often wipe down the top inside of the machine (the part the food goes in) after it’s gone through its auto cleaning. Although I can’t clean beneath the machine well because there is no way to open it at the bottom. I have felt some reside in the spout even after the auto cleaning is done. Do you have any suggestions in how to best clean this machine even after the auto cleaning function is done? Also, I didn’t know one can put dates in the machine so I will definitely try that next. I thought it was just for nuts and seeds. Thank you for the education!
Hi 👋 , I’m (Kayla Thomas, from lug group haha😂) I have one of these machines because my daughter and i both can't have lactose so we buy a ton of nut milk/oat milk how ever i haven’t taken outbof box yet lol i’m scared lol 😂

Hi Vinh, as far as I know there is no auto brew button but there is an auto clean button. You can, however set it up for a delayed start, like if you want it set up for the morning to brew fresh just set it for as many hours that you need to. Hope this helps answer your question. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my video. God bless!
Where does all the chopped up bits go? like the "pulp" i guess? In other machines you need to use a nutbag or strainer, but I didnt see you do that with this one. Or is there just some chunks of nuts in the milk still at the end?
Hi Chris! There is no pulp of any sort. It all gets rinsed away with the auto-clean cycle and the rest is in the nut milk! (Believe it or not!) That was one of the reasons I bought this machine! Minimal cleanup, unlike the Almond Cow or Nut'r machines. After the clean cycle runs I just wash the parts and dry and you are ready to go another round if you'd like!! I hope this helps answer any questions! Let me know if you need anything else! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Blessings to you!
Hi Christine. I was wondering, can you tell me if there is any further heating necessary for soya milk - if you've tried it for soya? Also, have you ever tried making yoghurt from the result? That would be my main purpose to purchase this machine. Many thanks.
Hi there, I haven’t tried to make soy milk but all I know is that I use my filtered, room temperature water and there is no need to heat it up. The machine takes care of it all. I’d be interested if you could make almond, soy, cashew milk yogurt etc.! Let me know if you try it. It’s a great idea! I only use actual whole milk to make my yogurt. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Blessings! Here is a video on how I make yogurt . th-cam.com/video/LIgpSsKnUik/w-d-xo.html
@@christinesroutines I've just recently found out that I should give up casein. probably a problem in my lineage. I thought I had got away with it. Apparently not! It took sixty-one years!

Hi there, Yes for any type of milk with this machine you just use a handful of nuts or oats, etc. It just depends on how thick you would like it. I keep it around 1/2 of the designated cup that came with the machine. I hope this helps answer your question. Feel free to reach out again if you need anything further! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video. Blessings!
@@christinesroutines Great so just to be clear, for a coffee creamer you’d fill up to 9/10 for 20oz? And for milk you’d fill it with nuts or oats halfway for 20 oz water? Thanks!
Hi again, so I pulled the recipe book out that came with the machine and it states for just regular milk (which I made in the video & use as my creamer instead of naughty creamer! Ha!) 🤣 for almond, cashew, soy, macadamia milk 20 oz = 1 Tbsp of nuts. Oat milk is 1 & 1/2 Tbsp of oats. Coconut milk is 5 & 1/2 Tbsps of shredded coconut. So it is definitely different for each of the milks you can make. Then it has recipes for combined milks like cashew/almond and almond/soy and even does hazelnut milk! I hope this helps a bit with your question. Take care!
@@christinesroutines Hi yes that’s why I asked if this recipe was only for creamer bc you use 9/10 which is way more than 1 tablespoon of cashews. I just gave this machine to daughter and she loves it. Made the cashew milk per your instructions and it was fantastic
Hi Michael, The (cashew) milk is very frothy when it first comes out of the machine but does settle after being placed in the refrigerator. Hope this helps answer your question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video. Blessings! ☺
Hi there, Yes it's working great!! I actually have two machines and have not had any issues with either machine. If I calculate correctly we have already saved $100's of dollars by not buying coffee creamer and or almond/cashew milks etc. over the past 3 years or so! I hope this helps you make your decision. They have great customer service if you happen to need it. It's so freeing to be able to know exactly what is your drink! Take care! 😄
I bought this machine a year ago and have been using it a couple times a week since. Love it! Saves a ton of money, as it doesn't use a large amount of nuts to make. I buy from the bulk section and buy what I need.
Hi Jannette, right it’s not super creamy but I’ve just gotten used to giving my nut milk a good swirl in my container before putting in my coffee. My stomach has been so much better since not using the heavy creamers. I do add a few extra dates to sweeten it up naturally. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God bless! ☺️
Do you think it would be possible to add a calcium capsule’s contents into this milk when it’s done to fortify the plant dairy milk? Would you add it before it’s made similar to how you added the salt or stir it in once the milk has been made or wait until it’s cooled down? Thank you
Hi Dilushani, I did a bit of reading on this and it states a 1/2 teaspoon of calcium carbonate powder per 8 ounces will fortify it. I would add it in the warm milk at the end of the cycle and whisk it until dissolved. Hope this helped answer your question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video. God bless! ☺️
@@christinesroutines if you don’t mind, I had another question. Have you added chia seeds before? Would they become blended down so that you can’t see them? I’m trying to think of ways to add more calcium :) thanks again
Hi Eva, the nut milk is hot when it comes out of the machine but you can put it in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God bless!☺️
I’d do a cleaning cycle in between. But yes a cycle then cleaning and then another cycle. I don’t see any evidence of doing straight back to back to back. The machine is so spendy that I’d gladly pamper it by cleaning after each cycle! Hope this helps answer your question! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God bless!
Hi Joshua, thanks for the info. I’ve not had any issues with the dates since owning the machine for the last two 1/2 years. (I actually own 2 machines) I think that if you run the cleaning cycle asap after a milk cycle it helps clean things out really well. I’ll keep it in mind if I ever have any problems. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Blessings! ☺️
Hey can you adjust the water amount? I like a creamier milk texture so I'm wondering if you can adjust the water to suit your preference or is there a specific amount of water required?
Hi Cee, there are 2 water sizes on it, 14 oz and 20 oz. So you do have to choose one on the top control panel as you are choosing what kind of milk you are making. I did do an experiment with adding frozen strawberries in with the cashews and dates and it definitely made it thicker and creamier. Hope this helps answer your questions. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! God bless!
@@christinesroutines thank you for responding. I'll keep that in mind for the future! Actually I just googled and half&half cream uses BUTTER in the recipe. Who knew! Maybe try adding butter for a creamier texture. Lol 😂 If you try please let me know. If its a success then I think we might be on to something here.
Oh wow that sounds like amazingly creamy goodness! 🤩 I think I’m going to try it! I’ll let you know here shortly! So cashews, dates, pat of butter right out of fridge!! 🙌
Ok…so I just made a quick ‘batch’ with the added pat of butter and it is definitely a bit more indulgent and cookie-like tasting. But texture and thickness is still about the same. Like a whole milk. 🥛 What a fun experiment! We’re having company over tomorrow so I’ll be sure to pull it out for a taste test to see if they can tell the difference. ☺️
Hi Judy! Oh I should try it! Yum! Maybe frozen berries that don’t have a ton of seeds to clog things up? I’m sure it could handle it! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my video! Let me know if you try it! God bless!
@@christinesroutines I am really interested in purchasing this machine so I wondered what else you could add to the milk. I could ask the manufacturer too.
Hi again Judy! So this morning I added about 4 frozen strawberries to my machine on top of the cashews and the dates and it made it just fine! No extra residue or pulp from adding the berries. It smells and tastes delicious in my coffee this morning. Hope this helps you make your decision and thanks for the idea to change up the recipe! Take care & God Bless!
Hi Carolyn, yes I’ve added extra nuts and dates to thicken it up. You just need to give it a good swirl before using because it sometimes separates a bit. I’ve actually added frozen fruit to mix things up! Let me know what works for you! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Blessings! ☺️🌸
@@carolynmilheron2301 No not yet. I'm not a huge rice milk fan but I have tried the coconut, almond (I use almond slices), oat, and the macadamia nut milks and my favorites are the cashew (featured) and the coconut!
Hi Paula, no the machine is self cleaning! Another reason why I bought it! If you do want pulp left to bake with, I believe the Almond Cow machine has pulp left at the end of a cycle. The Chefwave machine you just empty the water out of the clean out chamber after a 7 minute cleaning cycle at the end, dry off and put away! I just love it! Hope this helps answer your question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video. God bless!
Thank you! most of the other nut machines leave pulp and they say oh you can make cookies or add it to you bake goods. Whose doing all that baking each time ☺️?! I'm going to give this machine a try. I know the holidays are over but do you have a discount code I could use? Thank you!
I wish I had a code. Boo! I did buy a refurbished one that helped with the cost. Maybe check eBay for a bigger discount? Let me know if you find one! I’ll keep my eye out and let you know if any code comes up. New Year’s blessings to you!
All around a bad item My family bought this for Christmas for me. I tried it and it worked the first 5 times. I did 1/2 recipes. Then it threw an error code of e15, call the manufacturer. They would not talk to me because I did not purchase it. My son finally talked then into replacing. They asked us to cut the electrical cord and toss. After a long wait we recieved a brand new one. This one only lasted 1 pot before it threw the e15 error. I tried both of them numerous times after the code, but they just don't work. The milk that we got was watered down or chunky. We can no longer return them. Researched a little and they are not designed for use above low altitude. So if you live at 2,000feet it may work. I also did not like that it had to go through the whole milk making process to clean. Each time it would throw an error I would have to unplug it, attempt to clean everything manually and then run a 15 minute cycle to clean it, which usually resulted in another error code. Don't buy
Oh wow! I’m so sorry that it didn’t work for you! I have my hands folded that my unit is still in great shape and I use it weekly. Thank you for your input! I do appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Take care! ☺️
I have just bought this machine… unfortunately I keep getting an error at the end. It will only fill half the pitcher, even at the 20oz setting, and it also was overflowing out of the steam valve at the top. Have you ever had this problem?
Hi Alicia, I’m so sorry to hear of your issues! I’ve never had any problems with the unit thank goodness. Maybe try emailing them for technical assistance at cs@mychefwave.com. They might be able to troubleshoot the main cause of the problems. I do so appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Let me know if they respond with an results. Take care!
@@christinesroutines hey there!! The customer service was terrific. Very responsive. They believe due to my location being high altitude (about 8500 ft above see level) it’s causing issues with the machines function. They offered a full refund but I’m going to try a few things before I go that route! Would really love my own plant milk! Thank you for a great video and your response!
@@aliciasheppard7368 Oh no, that's not good. You know what is strange? That the machine works perfectly when I prepare only 10 oz. If I want 20 oz, it never works 😭

The Chefwave machine you just empty the water out of the clean out chamber after a 7 minute cleaning cycle at the end, dry off and put away! I just love it! Hope this helps answer your question. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video. God bless!
Thank you! most of the other nut machines leave pulp and they say oh you can make cookies or add it to you bake goods. Whose doing all that baking each time ☺️?! I'm going to give this machine a try. I know the holidays are over but do you have a discount code I could use? Thank you!
I wish I had a code. Boo! I did buy a refurbished one that helped with the cost. Maybe check eBay for a bigger discount? Let me know if you find one! I’ll keep my eye out and let you know if any code comes up. New Year’s blessings to you!
Thank you and New Year's Blessings to you and yours. 😊
All around a bad item
My family bought this for Christmas for me. I tried it and it worked the first 5 times. I did 1/2 recipes. Then it threw an error code of e15, call the manufacturer. They would not talk to me because I did not purchase it. My son finally talked then into replacing. They asked us to cut the electrical cord and toss. After a long wait we recieved a brand new one. This one only lasted 1 pot before it threw the e15 error. I tried both of them numerous times after the code, but they just don't work. The milk that we got was watered down or chunky. We can no longer return them. Researched a little and they are not designed for use above low altitude. So if you live at 2,000feet it may work. I also did not like that it had to go through the whole milk making process to clean. Each time it would throw an error I would have to unplug it, attempt to clean everything manually and then run a 15 minute cycle to clean it, which usually resulted in another error code. Don't buy
Oh wow! I’m so sorry that it didn’t work for you! I have my hands folded that my unit is still in great shape and I use it weekly. Thank you for your input! I do appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Take care! ☺️
I have just bought this machine… unfortunately I keep getting an error at the end. It will only fill half the pitcher, even at the 20oz setting, and it also was overflowing out of the steam valve at the top. Have you ever had this problem?
Hi Alicia, I’m so sorry to hear of your issues! I’ve never had any problems with the unit thank goodness. Maybe try emailing them for technical assistance at cs@mychefwave.com. They might be able to troubleshoot the main cause of the problems. I do so appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch and comment on my video! Let me know if they respond with an results. Take care!
@@christinesroutines hey there!! The customer service was terrific. Very responsive. They believe due to my location being high altitude (about 8500 ft above see level) it’s causing issues with the machines function. They offered a full refund but I’m going to try a few things before I go that route! Would really love my own plant milk! Thank you for a great video and your response!
@@aliciasheppard7368 Hi Alicia! I'm having the same issue with my machine. Do you had any solution for yours?
@@adrianarojas4734 I’m guessing it was the altitude. They gave me a refund after two machines both failed to work properly.
@@aliciasheppard7368 Oh no, that's not good. You know what is strange? That the machine works perfectly when I prepare only 10 oz. If I want 20 oz, it never works 😭
Ain’t this a mila copicat?
Hi there, hmmm not sure what you mean? Is that another company that makes machines like this? I’d be interested in knowing if you have any information? Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my video! God bless!
