Anybody else get gritty sediment at bottom? Ive purchased maca from other sites and it disolved much better.not very fresh/nutty either

Yes! I had the same experience. I thought about contacting the manufacturer, but wondered if mine was just a fluke. It may be because it's unprocessed? It's almost like sand.

mine is v. good.. sometimes needs a bit of water and another stir at the end..

It's probably because one was maca extract and the other was powder. The extract dissolves a lot better than the powder

I haven't had that unfortunate experience. My Flojet has worked pretty well. It should grind up most non-solid stuff. Long fibers might be a problem.I learned to tip the Flojet up during the last rinse, after I found small amounts of non digested seeds and grit at the bottom of the dump hose. There might be some small fibers or hair left on the cutters.Definitely not a real pleasant task!

I bought mine awhile ago..I was not happy with this brand..I found it to be very runny..I prefer Artisana Raw Organic Nut Butters...Much better

I purcased the Piteba for that very reason, nothing like fresh black walnut oil in homemade icecream. Sounds like you may have the adjustment bolt open to much. Close it down a bit so less comes out. Possibly the walnuts are to moist...but i think that is less likely. It took me two or three tries to get it right. It is a LOT of work. When you get it right, the extruded material coming out the front is hard as rock after it dries for a few minutes. The directions that come with it are very limited but i suggest re-reading them. I got a better sence of how to do it after i tried it and then re-read the directions. Good luck. The good news is...it can be done and the black walnut oil is really potent stuff.

Hi, I didn't feel any grittiness at all. I'm not sure why you would feel something gritty, but perhaps you have a bad bottle and should return it.

I tried boiling it in some water to test, and it seemed to be gritty still, but that was only for a couple minutes. It is most likely best to not heat too much and alter the proteins.

I used it tonight, seam side down, cooking large filets of blackfish. I added minimal liquid, just a few TBS. of EVOO and lemon juice, sat the fish on a bed of some cut up tomatoes, they exude liquid too. The seam must be the problem, I didn't expect any liquid to leave the bag. Next time, I would use it SEAM SIDE UP....I would suggest the same for you.

Try cutting back liquid. Mine has turned out different when I use broth or stock instead of water.

I haven't had the issue but here is what I might try if I had.1) boil the strainer (quite a while, at least an hour) in water with some dish soap. This would hopefully remove any acidic and neutral materials contributing to the taste2) If that doesn't work, try the same thing this time using vinegar (clear white) which would remove any basic materialsI hope that it works for you

Mine arrived sludgy also. I rinsed the grains and then put them in prepared sugar and molasses water. Other individuals may have better suggestions, but this is how I handled my grains... I changed the sugar / molasses water daily. Some of the grains are very small and slip through the strainer, so I strained part of the kefir water into a glass jar leaving the bottom grains in some of the water in the original jar. I poured the grains and water from the original jar into freshly prepared water and used part of the strained kefir water to rinse out the original jar into the fresh water. The grains have multiplied to where I have over a cup of them now. Mine arrived sludgy also. I rinsed the grains and then put them in prepared sugar and molasses water.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this solution! I have just spent an hour trying to unclog the filters with the cleaning tool and with vinegar, but to no avail. I didn't think it was clogged with coffee grounds since I've only used pods so far, and as far as I know, we don't have hard water. (Plus, we've only been using the machine for 2 weeks.) I was ready to bring it back to the store. It turns out the water tank just wasn't pushed in all the way. Seems to me this simple suggestion should be in the list of troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual, because I have a feeling a number of people are having this problem and attributing it to something more serious.

Try gelatinised, pre-cooked, much of the starch is removed........raw has all the starch still in it and can be hard to digest....red maca for women...black maca for men

Try blending something neutral flavored (like rice)... It should pick up any particulates and carry them away without leaving its own flavor

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

I have no problem with gritty taste but I only use a blender. I use some ice, some berries and other fruit, a bit of water to blend it and some 100% frozen pineapple juice from can (1 heaping tablespoon) and it tastes great !!

I finally made my almond milk and it is a one time endeavor. Never again. However, in answer to your question, there was sediment on the bottom but it was not gritty. However, with all the work, I ended up with about 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and a batch of grated almonds that I added honey to and will use it for a spread on toast. Nut Milks are too much work to suit me. I hope this has answered your questions. If you have any further, do not hesitate to write to me: whytehouse07@comcast.net. Arlene
