Product: Ellie’s Best Bigger Better Nut Milk BagRating: 5/5 (excellent)Not to put too strong a spin on it, but this product is a genuine boon for anyone wishing to make their own nutmilk, soymilk, butter, Greek-style (hung) yogurt, or fresh cheese. What used to be a messy wasteful chore using disposable muslin cloth, or butter cloth, has since become an easy and pleasant routine ... so easy that ever since buying my first “Ellie’s Nutmilk Bag” a little over a year ago, I’ve been regularly making my own soy and nutmilks (Almond, Cashew and Coconut) on a weekly basis ever since, along with the occasional batch of homemade ‘hung’ Greek style yogurt or homemade butter.Likes: STURDY, REUSABLE & ECONOMICAL: The nylon weave, and strongly stitched seams, are excellent, and vastly superior (for home use) to both single use cotton muslin cloth, or even premium butter cloth (which tends to fray at the edges when cut to size and washed for reuse). My first bag is still going strong after 50+ uses, and will probably last at least 50 more. ERGONOMIC: Whereas cotton muslin cloth must be cut to size and stacked in layers for most uses, and cotton butter cloth must be cut down to size and manually tied closed, Ellie’s bag is already the ideal size and configuration for most household uses - a sturdy bag of butter cloth-rated nylon weave (90-mesh) with a built-in drawstring. Cleanup is a snap too (see handwashing tips below) DISHWASHER SAFE: Yes, it’s dishwasher/clothes washer safe (albeit with minor caveats - see the addendum at the end of this review). However, I don’t recommend putting it in a clothes dryer ... let it air dry.Nits: None (!).I’ve been reviewing semi-regularly on Amazon since 1999, and it’s very rare than I’m unable to come up with at least one meaningful nit on a given product ... but nothing substantial comes to mind about this item. It’s indispensable for the task it’s designed for, reusable, ergonomic, inexpensive to replace, and once dried it even rolls into a tiny compact shape that needs very little space. I’d be hard pressed to name a culinary product that’s given me more bang for the buck ... what’s not to love ?HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. An absolute must-have for aficionados of homemade nutmilk, soymilk, butter and hung yogurt/curd.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ADDENDUM -SOME HELPFUL TIPS: HANDWASHING: I spread the bag out flat, on it’s side, in the bottom of the sink, and then rise it thoroughly on both sides (top and bottom), then turn it inside out and repeat the process. After rinsing is done, I’ll rinse the sink, then repeat the process once more, this time scrubbing gently with a soapy sponge. Last, a quick wring out, and I let it air dry in the dish rack. Takes 50-60 secs, tops. DISHWASHER: If you’re considering using the dishwasher, here’s a tip, and a suggestion: (1) Drawstring: after first rinsing and handwashing the bag (see above), I’ll fold the bottom of the bag up towards the lip, then scrunch it laterally and slip it upright into one of the narrow bins in the silverware rack. I do it that way so that the dangling drawstring can't reach down into the heating element and possibly melt during the dry cycle. (2) HEAT: Nylon is heat sensitive, and although the dry cycle on most residential dishwashers doesn’t get hot enough to melt it, it does cause the nylon weave to contract and stiffen a bit with repeated exposure, so I prefer to wash it by hand for making nut milks, and ONLY use the dishwasher after I use it to make butter or drain yogurt ... and I try to remember to remove the bag from the washer before the heat cycle starts. Because of the heat induced contraction, I now own 2 bags - I use the slightly heat-shrunk one exclusively for yogurt and butter, and my newer one exclusively for nutmilks and it never goes near the dishwasher. STRAINING NUT MILK: Although designed to be squeezed by hand, I have a slightly improved method. I rest a stainless steel colander in a work bowl, then slip the nutmilk bag into an upright 1 qt plastic deli container, and pull the mouth of the bag open and down around the lips of same, to hold it open. Next I’ll pulse & pour the first carafe of freshly pureed nutmilk into it, then remove the tupperware (no longer needed) and then let the bag continue to drain in the colander. With the bag partially full, it will stay upright, so you can blend and pour the remainder of the batch through it with only one hand needed to hold it open. When the bowl under the colander fills, replace with a fresh bowl. After draining is complete, gently shake the bag to settle the pulp, hold the bag upright and using a ‘finger flicking’ motion (as if plinking someone on the nose), flick the sides of the bag so any clinging pulp falls into the bottom, then twist the neck of the bag several times until the pulp forms a tight ball in the bottom. At this point most people squeeze it by hand to extract the remaining milk, but I prefer to lay the ball on it’s side in the bottom of the colander, and press firmly with a heavy smooth-bottomed paillard pounder {ex: https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Ultimate-Pounder-Tenderizer/dp/B00004UE7C }, until the pulp is firm and dryish, after which I'll freeze it (once I have enough, I'll dehydrate and grind all the spent nut and/or coconut pulp into powder, for use in baked goods and dhokla). As for the milk, I'll adjust the flavor as desired, then store in 1qt glass bottle(s) in the fridge { https://www.amazon.com/Dairy-Shoppe-Glass-Bottle-Vintage/dp/B018BDZQUQ}. Since homemade nut and soy milks are not homogenized/stabilized, they start to separate after a few hours, and fully separate in 1-3 days, resulting in an unappetizing appearance ... this is purely cosmetic, not a sign of early spoilage. Simply give it a quick shake and it’ll look good as new. Actual refrigerated lifespan is roughly 6-7 days ... longer if you add a little potassium sorbate {https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006O93LRK}.-----------------------COMMENT (Photos): Homemade sweet butter (from supermarket heavy cream) draining in an Ellie’s Nutmilk Bag. To explain - my 7 cup food processor takes about 7 minutes to whip and break 3 cups of heavy cream into butter and whey. Figure that 1 quart of 40% milkfat heavy cream will yield ¾ lb of sweet butter, and just over 8 fl oz of liquid whey (which I culture into buttermilk if I have at least a quart, otherwise I use it to make bread or simply drink it).

I just started juicing with a brand new Vitamix, I’ve always wanted one, but the bloating I was getting was terrible! This bag is incredible and should be in your kitchen. I can’t imagine one being better. It is very easy to use and also clean, and dries quickly. I highly recommend it and the quality is top notch. It’s a great family owned business and they have videos on YT which is how I found the bag. I just love it, it’s changed my juicing game for the better.

Other than the name this is an awesome bag for making oat milk. The only problem is that I have a 10yr old and when he heard Nut milk bag, he literally fell over laughing. Same with my mother. But seriously it works great, is easy to clean and is saving me money. I'm now paying a few cents for 1/2 gallon of oat milk

I just started making nondairy nut milk and cheese. I had been using cheese cloth that I’ve had for a long time. I thought maybe nutmeg would be better, because I am going to do it more often.Oh my gosh, this nut milk bag is fantastic! The weave of the fabric is so much easier to work with than the cheese cloth. The rounded corners make it easy to get the nut pulp out after I squeeze the liquid out.I love this bag so much that I find myself, making almond milk much more often. It’s so much better tasting than Almond Breeze! Plus, my nut milk doesn’t have all that calcium carbonate ( like in Tums!) and gums.Be sure to get your free e-book of recipes, too!This bag is REALLY WORTH IT!!!

The nylon mesh material is very strong but is a little stiff in handling. I use it for squeezing out the moisture/water from the zucchinis. I found it best to only put in a couple large spoonfuls of zucchini in and a time to squeeze. While it does help to get a lot of water out, the zucchini is not as dry as it needs to be. The zucchini comes out much dryer when wringing it out in my muslin/linen tea towels. I bought the 2-pack so I could give one to my daughter. She hasn't used hers yet.

The media could not be loaded.  These bags are a awesome! I use a lot of oat milk and buying it was way too expensive. Then I started making my own using cheesecloth,but it was messy and a pain and I went through a lot of it. These bags couldn't be more perfect. They strain the oat milk quickly and effectively, no pulp gets through. They're super easy to clean too. I can make a batch of oat milk in less than 5 minutes, and that includes clean up. The bags rinse easily and I hang them to dry. I've been using them a few times a week for several months now and they're as good as when I got them. Highly recommend!!

This is a great nut bag..it will easily hold 3 cups of nut milk..does not take slot of muscle to separate the liquid from the pulp... easy to clean and very fast drying..this is one of the very best nut milk bags..I make several different kinds of milk.I would highly recommend...I love my nut milk bag.

It literally changed my life!!! I used to use cheesecloth for filtering grape juice and it was a messy and time-consuming process (which can take me 30+min). But with this bag I am now able to get all grapes done in one squeeze. 10min. No spilling any more. Super super productive. It’s high quality and very dense. Also easy to clean. Every household should have it!! Just buy plz!!

Comprei com intuito de utilizar para Cold Brew. Atendeu as minhas expectativas

Excelente colador,no deja pasar residuos,lo volveré a comprar.

I was surprised to find how well made this thing is. It isn’t just some flimsy upgrade for a cheese cloth. It has that characteristic stiffness of woven nylon mesh, and while this is not desirable in itself it speaks to the quality and durability of the bag. The stitching around the edges is really solid too, which is important especially around the draw string because you really need to pull to close it. And the mesh is super fine, so it really works wonderfully for my nut and cereal milks.Overall, a great, sturdy little investment that I doubt breaking or needing replacement in the foreseeable future.

Yes, it is expensive compared to other nut milk bags, but it it worth it because it's sturdy and easy to clean. No residues in the sewn edges. Since I make nut milks every day, easy-to-clean milk bag is a must item. I'm so glad that I chose the right one.

Súper fácil de usar, y de limpiar. El material es resistente y se pueden hacer leches veganas fácilmente, súper recomendable!!!
