Kitchenaid Blender Coupling

I searched and searched and read about him and I want to know what unit to invest in, preferably cheap, but perhaps not. In non-blender, I mean I do not want to invest in one of these vita $ 400 regardless of the type mixers. Now notice I said relatively large amount, I want something I can put 1 or 1.5 pounds worth of nuts in it and crushing it and enough butter churn accordingly. I also do not add additional oil and either roast the seeds or add a little fat to help the oil, if necessary. Remember, my question does not focus on how the advice, but along that line with a particular device recommended would be appreciated. My research points me to a high voltage transformer Cuisinart food standard is the way to go. Can a KitchenAid, I guess you call that a large food processor (those that cost 200-300), doing well with nut butters? When I first read about how to make nut butters, when they said use a blender or food processor, I guess people were referring to the Kitchenaid model I described. Finally, on a similar line, is there a good substitute (cheaper) for the KitchenAid mixer-type. I saw a couple at Wal-Mart, and regardless of whether they are the best for nut butters, our family is a suite for other purposes. The two brands that I saw was a Sunbeam MixMaster Heritage and a model of competing brand. Anyone have any experience with these and can be compared to KitchenAid and, again, this work would be nice to make nut butter, 1 to 1.5 lbs at a time?

I know my questions are a bit scattered, but I would really appreciate some comments, I'm really excited about the homemade nut butters, you want to start and I want to make a wise investment to help my new desire. Thank you very much in advance for any response.

If you do not want to consider a mixer, I recommend a food processor. The results are not quite the same, but I'm sure you realize that. I have a KitchenAid food processor professional version and have been very happy with it. How to "butter" your result will be determined by what type of nut that you use. I'm sure you know different nuts contain different amounts of natural oil. Pecans are one of the fattest, but also one of the tastiest. Almonds would be drier, but if you are going to roast first (yum) and add more seeds you should not have too much problem. The Vita is much better for making nut butters, juice, etc., and is quicker to make your project work.

I had a KitchenAid mixer for 25 years. I've never had a single problem with it, and could not live without it. The main advantage for the KitchenAid model is that you can add to pasta, meat and other types of attachments to the mixer (for an additional cost). I'm not familiar with Sunbeam or competing brands. From KitchenAid comes with an attachment for whipping cream, whipped and mosses, a dough hook and knead for other projects, and commitment to the work horse of dawn for all mixture other than your heart desires. I do not think the original KitchenAid (net of all costs of additional attachments) would be able to make your nut butters.
The KitchenAid mixer can cost a bit more, but I think you'll never think of buying another in your life. Good luck and I hope it helps.
