Abstract
A portable, unpowered, inexpensive, personal nut milk extraction device that maximizes the amount of milk that can be extracted from a nut such as an almond. It utilizes a collection vessel with a hanging filter bag that is twistably compressed by a series of polymer straps operatively engaged by a twistable cap on the vessel. An over-torque device prevents the filter bag and polymer straps from damage.

- a collection vessel having an open first top and a closed first bottom;
- a twist body having an open second top from which extends downward a series of twistable compression straps from an upper end of said compression strap, said twist body having a second bottom joined to a lower end of said compression straps, said twist body suspended inside said collection vessel's first top by said twist body's second top;
- a filter body with an open third top affixed to a top end of a cylindrical filter mesh, said filter body also having a third bottom affixed to a bottom end of said filter mesh, wherein said filter body is suspended inside said twist body's second top by said filter body's third top, wherein said third bottom of said filter body is attached to said second bottom of said twist body;
- a torque cap matingly conformed for engagement with said twist body's second top;
- a torque rod having an upper proximal end and a lower distal end, said distal end conformed for engagement with said filter body, and said proximal end conformed for engagement within said torque cap;
- an inwardly tapered neck formed on said collection vessel's first top, said neck having a tapered oval interior face;
