This plant-based and nut milk maker streamlines the DIY milk process and is a one-stop way to retain all the original flavor and nutrients of the ingredients you choose. Two nested containers let you measure, filter, and soak nuts, grains, or seeds in water with no mess. You can even store and pour from the outer container.
