Ignore that shit in the grocery store. Two ingredients are all you need (and one of those is water).
The machine will beep when the soymilk is ready and will then spend another 5-7 minutes cleaning up after itself. It’s a miracle, really.

While this part isn’t essential, it will usually eliminate pouring clumps of soymilk later.
Transfer the soymilk to a nifty airtight container, if you have one (IKEA has great options and they’re cheap). And be done!
Your machine will clean up after itself, which is one of the cooler features of the ChefWave Milkmaid. FYI, the machine pulverizes the beans thoroughly so you won’t have solids to throw away. Still, you’ll need to toss the wastewater the machine produces after the self-cleaning. I personally think it’s a good idea to then run a deep clean (either 3 min or 8 min) after each batch and also take the hopper top off and clean up any ick that was left there. But you do you.
