It seems to do a decent job for both almond milk and marzipan. I
haven't done a side-by-side comparison, though, between almonds
ground in a factory and ones I ground myself, so I can't say which is
better, except to say that finely ground almonds from the store are a
labor and time-saver.

And the equivalent in ground pistachios (available in Indian markets)
is too darned expensive to mess around with, more's the pity.
