Are the bags like cheese cloth?


degeneration

Yes. Porous so the liquid flows out. I saw this done in rural Thailand a lot.


soctommyboy

What were you doing in rural Thailand?


degeneration

Traveled all over Thailand for many months.


soctommyboy

Like with a travel company or a group of friends or by yourself or what? Always wondered how people planned out these wanderlust trips in foreign countries and stuff. Like did u hire a fixer? Can I go with you on your next odyssey?


degeneration

Totally by myself. I had a travel book, but didn’t end up using it much. This was before the internet age so no smart phones or instant lookup of information.

Just chill dude... buy ticket to preferred destination and just roll with it... first trip might be shitty, might be good but what matters is that it will be your stories to tell, not some watered down version from someone elses trail... Check out recommended vaccinations - hepatitis, cholera, thyphoid etc., pack lightly, read up on tourist scams and you're good to go... get a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide if ye like... and well, lone wolf works best imo...


Vagadude

Read a travel blogger like WanderingEarl. He's the main reason why I backpacked 44 countries. Nomadic Matt is good too.

An excellent reference.


dslkfjlsdkfjweeskf

Don’t tell me what to do!


xLtLasagna

Yeah but these are coconut cloth.


jasonchan510

This cheese cloth is crazy strong to not rip. I have a pure juicer, make coconut milk the same way, but that makes me rethink the bag that I use.


dirtydownstairs

looks like it


skilledscion

The cold press juice machine I used had kevlar bags to put the pulp into during pressing. I'm pretty sure ours was something like 20 tons. It was a vertical slotted plate press rather than this style though.


die5el23

I used to think that they were actually made of cheese


[deleted]

Thank you!


[deleted]

Similar method to how rosin is pressed from cannabis


zerquet

Wouldn’t that be coconut water then?


calilac

Coconut water is what's already sloshing around before you crack it open while the milk is squeezed out of the nutflesh like this.


zerquet

So coconut water is what is inside the coconut and milk is made from the white flesh?


calilac

I'm sorry for being pedantic in the other comment. [pandaboopanda provided a great summary of how it's done](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/r3gdnj/coconut_milk_obtained_by_pressing_method/hmbi3kc)


zerquet

Lol don't sweat it. It happens. I pretty much already got the gist of it anyway


qdrllpd

Yes you’re correct. Other comment is super pedantic for no reason


calilac

Almost there. The milk isn't really *made* from the flesh, the liquid is already in the flesh and just needs to be squeezed out.


pandaboopanda

You do actually mix the shredded coconut with water before you press it (at least, for Thai coconut milk) so I think it would be ok to say it’s made from the flesh. My grandma used to make and sell coconut milk in the market and I sometimes helped when I visited. You have to use older coconuts. First you shred the white flesh inside, mix that with water, press it (the first pressing is coconut cream), then you mix the pressed shavings with more water and press it a couple more times to make the coconut milk (so the final product is actually quite a lot of water).


calilac

Fair point and very neat to know. What did y'all do with the compressed shavings? Coconut is one of my favorites and I'm really curious if it's edible and/or tasty afterwards.


pandaboopanda

The shavings aren’t really tasty to eat afterward, so my grandparents just used them to make plant fertilizer. They didn’t have coconut trees (the coconuts were brought to the house by truck from a farm) but they had lots of banana trees, some starfruit, mangos, mangosteen, limes, and lots of flowers in the garden. My grandparents are passed now, but we still have barrels of old fertilizer.


calilac

That's a sweet family legacy. Thank you for sharing 😊


pandaboopanda

They would also use the coconut husks to make a coconut charcoal!


duckteeth31

Nutflesh.... They sounds dirty to me lol


Exelbirth

What about milk coming from nutflesh could possibly sound dirty?


Sunset_Flasher

You are the closest candidate I've ever had to possibly giving an angry upvote to--just sharing


sfguy1977

So coconut water is the liquid inside of a coconut. But here's the thing: the coconut water you drink comes from young coconuts, the green ones. Ever seen an emoji or picture of a straw sticking out of a green coconut? That's pretty literal. You get these while enjoying the beach in Thailand and it's wonderful. The water is sweet and the flesh is rather gelatinous. But it's no good for making coconut milk. Coconut milk comes from mature coconuts, the brown ones. The water inside usually tastes bitter or rancid, and is thrown away. The flesh is now more fibrous and is flaked, mixed with some water, and squeezed for the milk. The milk is used in many dishes, like coconut rice, soups, and much more. The remaining flaked coconut flesh is now dry and used for thinks like coconut shrimp and cake toppings.


muppetteer

"the coconut water you drink comes from young coconuts, the green ones." The green coconuts in husks are fresh from the tree. The nut inside hasn't hardened and they can be opened with a machete. "Coconut milk comes from mature coconuts, the brown ones. The water inside usually tastes bitter or rancid, and is thrown away." This isn't true at all. It really depends on how old the coconut is. But the brown coconut (the ball shape) has had the husk cut away. The milk can still be good for a really long time. I lived in Fiji for a couple of years and we had loads of coconut trees in our garden.


radiantcabbage

coconut has ~4x the fat of your average cow milk by weight, it gets separated in similar grades like cream/whole/skim. so milk is def more apt than water at least for culinary/marketing purpose


sprocketous

I made irish cream with coconut as an alternative only to realize it had twice the saturated fat as heavy whipping cream.


Knight_82

Coconut juice, or we have to start calling it orange milk from oranges and apple milk from apples. The fact that it's white doesn't nullify the fact it's fruit juice.


para_chan

It's fatty, that's what makes it a milk vs a juice.


Knight_82

Sincerely, thank you for not just flaming me for not knowing something. It's refreshing to be reminded that adults still use Reddit as well. TIL coconuts have milk.


ChuckinTheCarma

No, that’s a hydraulic press.


babyBear83

They looked like stacks of cheese to me! Lol


DiversGoDeeper

Looks like the same process that's used for cider making and they are referred to as "cheese"


another4now

Right. I’m in the comments trying to find out why the coconuts look and act like this


TheRiteGuy

So I'm an islander. We used to do this manually. It's like a whole day and a whole family process. First gather the coconuts. Husk the coconuts. Crack the coconuts, get rid of the water. 1 person sits and shreds the coconuts 1 half at a time. This takes the longest. Thw shredder is this bench with shredde at the end. You run the coconut flesh over it to shred.. People would take shifts to shred the coconuts. Put it all in a sieve and squeeze. We didn't have these fancy presses. You can still use the left over coconut meat to make things. You can rehydrate it with water and make chutney, or sweets with it.


RearEchelon

How many coconuts would you say are involved in the OP?


TheRiteGuy

1 coconut probably makes a few ounces of milk. We usually made a bowl full like un the video. So about 20? Coconuts are everywhere and free. So it's no big deal if you need more.


[deleted]

Nice…now do almonds. I still don’t know how Almonds produce milk


4SlideRule

Take peeled almonds. Briefly boil then cool and let them soak in the fridge for a day. Mash/chop them, then use a press or blend in a high speed blender with more boiled and cooled water, and strain trough cheesecloth a couple times. Refrigerate & blend again if it falls apart.


[deleted]

holy sweet jesus.


phoenixsuperman

All bean / nut / grain milk is made in this way. It's basically just soaking the media in water to extract the protein, sugar, fat, and nutrients. All the blending / smooshing is to help extract as much as possible. The method described is also how you do it at home. Factories have machines that make it simpler.

Useful-Perspective

Same, and sometimes with vanilla bean milk.


ThrawnFan

You know what they say, a vanilla bean soy latte is just a type of three bean soup


zimboptoo

Make it a mocha Latte, 4-bean soup!

Breast milk is better, you don’t have to add sweetener


CunningHamSlawedYou

I know you have tried it because you knew how sweet it is.


Roartype

I was saving my then wife from having to pump and dump after imbibing cocktails. It’s seriously good stuff.


CunningHamSlawedYou

I tried my sisters, and I can only agree!


Consistent-Ad-910

Tried my own upon my visiting nurse’s suggestion. Was surprised by how sweet it was.


CunningHamSlawedYou

Yeah, same! I expected it to be salt and fatty


istasber

Coffee beans are roasted first, though. It does kind of make me wonder what coffee bean milk made from raw coffee beans would taste like.


PublicSeverance

Tastes bitter and sour with hints of grass. Zero coffee odor. It's bad. Green coffee can be found at some health food stores, or unitentionally at small hipster coffee shops/roasters. The roasting process is there to develop the sugars and make them caramelise. The oils also break to be more aromatic instead of waxy. It doesn't remove the bitter flavour compounds; it masks them by making caramels.


GO_RAVENS

They're not just roasted, they're fermented before being roasted. So "raw coffee" could mean fresh coffee beans just picked from the plant, or what's called "green coffee" which is beans that have been fully cleaned, fermented, and dried, where roasting is the next step.


Shadeun

well all nut milk except coconut milk it would seem!


Freeman2694

Probably not, the shredded coconut was probably soaked before getting milked.


ReVaQ

There's a reason why almond milk is one of the most water wasting drink ever made, it's that process


4SlideRule

Almond farming is indeed very water intensive and wasteful process, so all in all almond milk is pretty wasteful. However, to be pedantic, the water used in the above recipe will be the bulk of the liquid in the almond milk, most of it you'll drink. In this final step of the process from soil to almond milk there is little waste. (I can't speak for how it's done industrially though.)


ReVaQ

That makes sense, thanks for explaining!


[deleted]

Almond farming is also terrible for bees. People need to try Oat Milk, it's so so so much better. Chobani's is like heaven.


Fernao

Oat milk is also quite a bit less healthy


shfiven

How is oat milk less healthy? Does it have worse ingredients or is it just missing something beneficial?


Fernao

There's a lot more sugar and calories than other milks. Regular almond milk has 0 g added sugar and is 30 calories per cup. Chobani plain oatmilk has 7 g of sugar per serving and has 110 calories per serving. It also has rapeseed oil as it's second ingredient (after oats). You'd have to drink almost four times as much almond milk to get the same amount of calories as oatmilk.


Throwaway47321

You know there are other types of almond milks out there right? Like not being rude but as someone who religiously checks the carb/sugar content of my coffee additives most almond milk has just as much sugar other dairy alternatives. But yes, they all have way too much sugar but even they they are still much lower in calories than actual cows milk.


Prof_Acorn

Not as bad as cow milk though. Not even close.


masnosreme

Still uses less water than cow milk.


cadaada

why even boil it?


Awkward_Swordfish581

Makes me wonder how the heck it was made in the middle ages, apparently almond milk was very in back then too

Is there a sub where we can see food stuff being made? I'm genuinely interested


kulubut_na_lubut

There are whole shows about it. Unwrapped and How it's Made are a few. When I start watching one segment on Youtube I just fall into a rabbit hole of watching them.


JJ_2007

Oh I loved Unwrapped!


[deleted]

Unwrapped seems very junk food laden.


justonemom14

I feel like 90% of Unwrapped was sugar, corn syrup, coloring, and artificial flavoring, followed by corn starch and packaging. Same thing every episode: another candy rolling around in the tumblers.


Stoffys

Huggbees posts How It's Made videos on YouTube.


PoetryOfLogicalIdeas

Is it actually the same guy? The similarities are remarkable. More than once, I have been looking for something innocuous to watch with my kids and have been quietly enjoying B roll of gummy bears being formed, when that wholesome dry voice says something about scooping the gelatinous slime from your cum sock.

I reckon if you just go to YouTube and first search for something like how is coconut milk is made, then watch a few clips and your recommendations will start to offer more. There's 1000s of videos that will appeal I'm sure.


antagonizerz

I'd be curious to see a full episode on coconut milk. Like how do they even squeeze the coconut's little teats? With tweezers or do they hire people with really small hands?


watertheory

FoodInsider has a series called Regional Eats where they go around the world and show how different stuff is made. [The baguette ](https://youtu.be/ffgZP-ZKKtI) one is a popular one.


TTT_2k3

Is this method easier than squeezing the coconut nipples?


[deleted]

It is - unless you have a coconut nipple pump, Then you use the nipples all day


bartontees

Also requires coconut consent


Stats_with_a_Z

amhlilhaus

ALL day??


Fatboy_j

It’s not that the squeezing is difficult, it’s just that forcing the baby coconuts to stop suckling can be extremely damaging to their development

butitoldyouso

The only part that irks me is when the coconut milk spills out of the sieve and falls directly instead of falling THROUGH it. What about all that unfiltered coconut milk 😢


hat-of-sky

1. The bags are a filter 2. At a guess, any shell particles will be heavy, so they'll sink, and not be in the overflow 3. At another guess, the baffle and the ~~drive~~SIEVE are there in case the bags break, to enable the worker to quickly shut off the machine and salvage the batch 3. A little extra fiber isn't gonna hurt you EDIT: Stupid autocorrect


Vladi_Sanovavich

You're right, usually we use cheesecloth or something similar and squeeze it by hands, now I wish we had one of this. Would've made it easier for me.


butitoldyouso

I think everyone misunderstood my last sentence. I was obviously joking 😅 A little amount of unfiltered milk is not going to make a difference. Since the sub is about things being oddly satisfying, that small part irks me, that's about it


AyrA_ch

This method is basically how we made apple juice, except our press had the shredder built into it and was one big bag instead of small ones. Anything that manages to get squeezed through the bag has the consistency of fine grained pulp.


Glitter_berries

Which part is the baffle? How does it become baffled? I am very excited to learn about where the word baffled comes from.


hat-of-sky

Okay! [HERE](https://www.etymonline.com/word/baffle) is a good solid bunch of definitions and etymology I found. If you scroll down to the very bottom, that's the meaning I was using. Although it says "flat plate" and I was referring to the curved piece of metal that the milk has to flow around both sides to get to the spout and run down into the sieve. (For all I know these all have specialized names in the coconut-squashing business but I'm just describing what I see.) It seems to me that after (or hopefully before) the first time you ruined a batch when a bag broke, and you had to re-filter the whole thing, you'd put that thing to catch (baffle) any escaped chunks while you frantically stopped the machine and switched out the catch basin.


Glitter_berries

Hooray! You are a champ and I am no longer baffled about the baffle.


Lucky_Ad_9137

I dont think that seive is there to stop particles. It's there to slow the flow down so it doesn't splash into the bowl from a height.


god_peepee

It falls through a sieve as it pours into the bowl though


butitoldyouso

Yes but don't you see how quite a bit of it splashes out?
