Hey there fashionistas, I‘ve got a new obsession I just have to tell you about – Numilk! If you haven‘t heard of this game-changing gadget yet, get ready to have your mind (and taste buds) blown.
As someone who‘s always on the lookout for the latest trends in fashion, food, and sustainable living, I was instantly intrigued when I came across Numilk on Shark Tank a while back. Founded by two innovative entrepreneurs, Ari Tolwin and Joe Savino, Numilk offers sleek countertop machines that make fresh, custom plant-based milk with the push of a button. Genius, right?!
But to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. Could it really be that easy to make quality almond or oat milk at home? And would it actually taste good enough for my discerning latte standards? Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered a Numilk Home machine a few months ago, and let me tell you – I‘m totally hooked.
How Numilk Has Elevated My Plant Milk Game
As a long-time plant milk drinker, I thought I had tried it all. From the fancy barista blends at my local coffee shops to the endless options now available at grocery stores, I‘ve sipped my way through plenty of almond, cashew, and oat milk over the years.
But making my own milk with Numilk has been a total revelation. Here‘s why I‘ve become such a fan:
1. Unbeatable freshness & flavor 🌿
Because you‘re making the plant milk on demand, it‘s always incredibly fresh and flavorful. There‘s no weird aftertaste or chalkiness that I sometimes get with shelf-stable milks. The Numilk milk just tastes clean, creamy, and delicious every time.
2. Endless variety & customization 🥛
With 7+ plant bases and flavors to choose from (plus seasonal options!), I never get bored with my milk routine. Some days I‘m in the mood for a classic vanilla almond milk, other times I crave a decadent chocolate oat milk or refreshing coconut cashew blend. You can even adjust the creaminess level and sweetness to get your perfect milk.
3. Sustainability & waste reduction 🌎
One of the things I love most about Numilk is how eco-friendly it is. The milk pouches use 95% less packaging than traditional cartons and the materials are 100% compostable. I feel so much better knowing I‘m not contributing to the tons of carton waste generated each year. Plus, the reusable glass bottles are super chic and reduce my use of single-serve plastics overall.
4. Cost savings 💸
Let‘s be real, fancy plant milks can get expensive, especially if you drink them daily like I do. A 32 oz bottle of organic almond milk can easily run you $4-5 a pop. But with Numilk, I‘m getting barista-quality beverages for a fraction of the price, around $1-1.50 per 16 oz serving. Those savings definitely add up over time!
5. Convenience & ease of use ⏰
As someone who‘s always juggling a million things, I love how low-effort making milk with Numilk is. With the push of a button, I can have fresh plant milk ready to go while I‘m doing my skincare routine or picking out my OOTD. No planning ahead, no soaking nuts overnight, no messy straining. The machine is also a breeze to clean – just pop the components in the dishwasher and you‘re good to go.
What The Experts Are Saying
But don‘t just take my word for it – Numilk has been getting rave reviews from foodies, wellness experts, and tastemakers across the board.

The Bottom Line
If you haven‘t gathered by now, I‘m totally smitten with my Numilk machine and can‘t imagine my plant milk life without it! Not only has it elevated my morning coffee game and expanded my recipe repertoire, but it‘s also helped me feel like I‘m making a small but impactful difference for the planet.
At $199 for the machine (with $60 off using code FASHIONISTA60) and around $2 per pouch, it‘s an investment that I‘ve found to be totally worthwhile. By my calculations, my Numilk completely paid for itself within the first 3 months of use, just from the savings on store-bought oat milk alone.
Of course, everyone‘s needs and preferences are different when it comes to plant milk. But if you‘re someone who values freshness, flavor, variety, and sustainability, I can‘t recommend Numilk enough. It‘s truly revolutionized my plant-based lifestyle and sparked so much joy in my daily routine.
So if you‘ve been curious about Numilk or looking to make a cool, conscious upgrade to your kitchen lineup, I say go for it! Worst case, you can take advantage of their 30-day risk-free trial. But something tells me once you experience the magic of homemade milk, you‘ll become a Numilk lifer like me.
