I really appreciated using the nut milk bag. It squeezes the water out thoroughly and holds a good amount of ingredients in the bag. One concern I have is there is a little hole in the bag which when squeezed too tightly, it would squirt fine bits of blended nut out of the hole which defeats the purpose of the bag. I still really appreciated working with the cotton material. The draw strings are perfect for hanging off clothes lines or cupboard handles when using for soaking.
