hemp milk

i only learnt this like 3 weeks ago but since then i have been making a ton of it. hemp milk.
it is just non-psychoactive hemp seeds, blended with water in a strong blender.
i have made the experience: if a blender is chosen that is too weak, it will not pulverize the hard shell enough so then there will be hard little bits in the end result. some people then filter the bits out with little cotton bags. i dunno why don't they just use coffee filters, do coffee filters ruin the taste maybe? coffee filters are awesome, i use coffee filters to clean the soap that i use for cleaning skateboard bearings so that i can reuse the soap over and over.
anyways i think having to filtrate the end product is too annoying so i am glad i have a strong blender, though lately i wish for one that is even stronger. there are really cool commercial blenders that have a sound dampening lid that can be closed by the user. i wish those would have more manual controls. i hate these blenders where i can't just gently dial the speed in with a round knob. fuck those blenders with the pre-defined speed levels, they feel like baby toys.
here is the recipe range i found i like:
3-4 tablespoons hempseeds for 400-700ml water.
>first i throw everything in and blend for ~45 seconds maximum strength on the blender
>then i wait around being handsome for 10 minutes as to give the hemp seeds a chance to soak because i suspect this makes them easier to crack open
>last step is blend again full power ~45 seconds
that's hemp milk. and then i usually put one or more of those extras in:
>few drops of maple syrup
>1-5 dates
>1-3 table spoons of raw coco powder
>1 handful of actual raw coco beans
(those are too expensive for me, i don't think i can buy them again)
>a short piece of actual vanilla bean
>1 banana
>a handful of red raspberry
it is delicious, i would have loved to hear about that sooner but nobody on this chan wrote about it. i used to use coconut milk for everything but obviously this is much more convenient to use then having to keep buying cans and cans of coconut milk.

this one is 2200w and has a cover that is supposed to make it not as loud. probably way better then mine.
mine is 1500w and it is extra loud...
what i hate about this one is the interface. it has different speed levels and programmable functions and i don't want those. i just want a speed control knob and an on-off button but those are rare and usually expensive.

this is one i think is nice too
>has just a speed control knob
>big container 2,5 liter
>1600w is not that much though, that's almost as weak as mine
>no sound reduction technology, i use mine a few times a day some days

i'm watching homeboy reviewing the blender and this fool is pouring factorysugar into his smoothie. well he is fat, he doesn't understand a lot of things...

+hard to believe how little this one costs.
+very strong 2200w
+no display
+speed control with a knob, hopefully very fine-tuneable
+even has a little manual timer after which it goes off automatically
-container is only 2 liter, that's not enough for batch cooking
-doesn't have the tamper
-doesn't have the sound shield.
-round container means harder to clean
-important gears probably not metal
-my guess is that it's loud

i pray to the blender gods because i don't know which blender to pick. fuck all these DRM blenders, if only there was an open source one.

just found a post of someone who had the same wish as me and apparently something emerged:
maybe this is open source

this would be perfect to replace my small glass blender. i looked at another blender for small sizes by tristar, which has a very weak ~200w motor that can use some glass jars but it seems like this one has variable speed up to 1000w and a wide compatibility to existing twist glasses.

this is disappointing. 2 speed settings. full speed and half speed -_-
otherwise nice machine, very expensive but widely compatible with spare containers and they even sell extra blades.
