Product Description
Additional container or replacement for the Vitamix. 32-ounce capacity is made from Eastman Tritan copolyester material that is virtually unbreakable, more chemical resistant and contains no BPA. This see-through, no-drip spout container lets you witness the processing from start to finish. It features raised calibrations for easily measuring ingredients in ounces, cups or metrics. Container includes Dry blade and 2-part locking lid designed for easy removal. The Dry Blade Container for your Vita-Mix is designed specifically for grinding grains. You can grind fresh flour and capture the nutrients in whole grains at the top of their game. Even beans, rice and soybeans can easily be ground into flour for gluten-free recipes. It’s quick and easy, too— it takes only about a minute! Once you’ve got your fresh flour, all you need to do is add the other ingredients and let the Vita-Mix go to work for you! The dough quickly mixes and a quick pulsing action forms a ball of dough that’s ready to rise. Home made bread is that simple, so you can easily forget nutritionally-inferior store-bought bread that is loaded with added sodium, sugar and preservatives. Lid has removable plug marked with measurements and allows ingredients to be added while processing. Spill proof lid vents to allow hot or cold food to expand and contract.

I'm a huge Vitamix fan and have used one for many years. Mine didn't come with a dry blade container so I purchased one separately more recently. There's no question that it does a great job with coffee and whole grains, but the regular container works fine for some of those things, too. Recently I started grinding my own grains for bread on occasion. For example, I couldn't find sunflower seed flour so bought some kernels and made my own. I found the regular container made this flour meal just as well as this dry blade container did. Both were fast and effective. The regular container also made wheat flour, powdered sugar and other nut flours just fine. This container did a better job with coffee however.
Then, as long as I was experimenting, I decided to make my morning smoothie in this smaller container, and voila, it worked great, so I've been using this small one more for smaller quantities of things than because the blade is different.
All in all, I'm healthier because of the Vitamix which has proven its worth many times over. I like having the second smaller container and use it regularly, but not necessarily for dry processing since both blade types seem to handle the majority of things. I haven't used the recipe book (which didn't come with my container when I bought it some time ago) so I can't speak to that, but I do believe the container itself is a nice addition to my Vitamix, though not a requirement. One last note: the regular tamper also works with this container because of the tamper's graduated size and this container's smaller plug size.

First, I absolutely love my Vitamix -- it's high quality, American made, and has a long warranty and commitment to customer satisfaction. In summary, just like American cars, the Vitamix embodies power.
The wet container does everything it promises, except I wouldn't try to boil soup in it. I got the dry container and have had a lot of fun grinding different grains and seeds. It's magic to watch everything get crushed into dust and it's satisfying to tell my guests that I made something from scratch -- not just a bag of flour but the actual grains or berries. Many of the ethnic dishes that required trips to specialty stores are now made possible by a visit to WholeFoods' bulk food section. The difference between the two containers is really in the way that food is spun away from the blades. I recommend the dry container for what it's meant to do.
A word of advice on using yeast if you are into making breads: wait till the flour cools before you add the yeast. My first batches were cooked by the heat from the freshly-ground flour! I learned to wait for the flour to cool and was then successful.

Vita-mix is the most loved appliance in my kitchen. If you put your wheat berries in the freezer for a while, the processing won't overheat the flour. This is a hint I learned when researching wheat grinders.
