Joyoung CTS-1078 Soy Milk Maker Review

Product Review: Joyoung CTS-1078 Soy Milk Maker


Company: Amazon via seller Joyoung

Price Range: $100-$135

Pros:

Soy milk is so easy to make. With the Joyoung CTS-1078, the process of cooking and liquifying soybeans could not be easier. Soak your soy beans the night before (sprinkle baking powder over the soybeans to make the beans much softer). The next morning or next day, rinse the soybeans and place them in the Joyoung CTS 1078. Add water up to the marked level and set the programmed function to cook soy milk. In twenty minutes, you will have hot soy milk ready to drink.

Cleanup of this soy milk maker is easy. The Joyoung CTS 1078 does not require cleaning an internal filter. This means you can basically just rinse off the entire machine in the sink without having to scrub tiny parts. You can not really wash this machine in the dishwasher. This should not be a problem though, rinsing out the Joyoung is quick and effective. Keep in mind though, the Joyoung CTS 1098 needs to be washed right after making the soy milk in order to prevent any sort "crust" from developing on the container.

Make more than just soy milk. The Joyoung CTS-1078 Soy Milk Maker comes with multiple cooking functions that make for an easy time preparing nut and seed milks, soups, and even oatmeal. Just like soybeans, you will want to soak whatever you are making milk from the night before. Almond milk comes out great. Sunflower milk is good too. Soups are okay, I still think the Vitamix does the best job at making soup out of any appliance. Oatmeal is cool to make, you can make a mix of soy milk and oatmeal at the same time for an extremely rich and creamy complete breakfast.

Keep the okara for tofu, soy burgers, and anything else. After making the soy milk, the leftover fiber caught in the filter can be used for a whole variety of things. Okara is healthy to eat and is awesome if wanting to make homemade tofu. In my opinion though, okara is not nearly as healthy as people claim though. Whole soybeans are more health than okara. Whole anything is better than its isolated fiber or juice. If you truly want to make soy burgers, I would soak soybeans over night and then cook in the Instant Pot. After the beans are cook, pulse them in a blender to have a thick paste to be cooked up into a thick burger.
Cons:

The Joyoung CTS-1098 gets very hot. As the soy milk maker cooks, the appliance heats up on the exterior to a high temperature. It gets so hot, it is almost dangerous to touch. Keep kids away from the machine while it is operating, they could easily hurt themselves. I wish it came with a better form of insulation, but I think it is easy enough to just avoid touching the body of the Joyoung.

Guarantee:


Joyoung provides a one year warranty on their soy milk maker if any defect comes up as a result of the manufacturing of the product. for a Chinese company, Joyoung is incredibly customer friendly with English speaking customers and attempts to help the user with any problems that may come up.

Value for money?

The Joyoung CTS-1078 is a great option for anyone on the market for a soy milk maker. I would say this soy milk make is more of a dependable machine. It works fantastically and will make your soy milk or plant milk with no problem. Overall, this machine could last for years and years even with use every other day. With the savings that come with making your own soy milk, you will definitely save money when using the Joyoung CTS-1078.
