There are many brands of soymilk makers but they have all work with the same principle: heating soybeans, grinding them at the right temperature and separating the okara from the soymilk. All soymilk makers consist of following parts: heating element, container to hold the soy milk, a filter cup which holds the soy beans, a sensors to prevent overboiling, a motor with stainless steel stirring blade, a microprocessor to control the of heating and grinding. However there are some difference between the models: heating element (coil or bottom plate), capacity (from 1 liter to 2,5 liter), container (plastic or steel), heating sensor, noise level and of course the looks.
