lab sieve vs superbag

[Anonymous Modernist 14073]

Hi I recently bought a vitamix and want to make almond milk with it. I know I need to strain the liquid after blending so I am not sure wether to get a superbag or a lab sieve. I would like something that is multi functional since I plan on using the sieve or superbag to also make soups. I am also not sure how fine a sieve or superbag I should get. Super bag comes in 400 and 250 microns or a lab sieve at 300 is recommended by MC at home. Thanks for any input or thoughts on this?

Cheers

Cory

I don't think you would even really need a micron size filter for almond milk (just a skimmer or mesh strainer should be fine). I might be wrong. Either way, if you just want to have a micron size filter in general; I found and bought some washable nylon 100 micron filter bags on ebay (sold for drinking water filtration), and have used them since to filter stocks and fruit juices. I've seen other sizes available, such as .5, 400, 500, 250, and so on. They (my reusable 100 micron bags) cost about $5 each. As far as I know and understand they are the same thing as superbags.
