Q’Tessence QT400 Disadvantages:
- The steel outer surface of the machine gets hot to the touch during operation.
- This machine does not have any programming options. Pre-set cycle, does not include heat-free operation.
Overall conclusion:
The Q’Tessence QT400 works easily, quickly and produces excellent non-dairy beverages. The Q’Tessence QT400 consistently performs well as advertised. The Q’Tessence QT400 is ETL listed.
The QT400 has three options: soaked beans, unsoaked or dry beans, and reheat; it does lack the ability to grind without heating, so it is not well-suited for making pure rice milk or oat milk.
