Kefir Maker/Yogurt Maker Kit with Cheese Maker Bag and Thermometer Review

Customer Ratings:

this is a great yogurt maker. it will consistently turn out creamyliscious yogurt. this machine has NO THERMOSTAT. you cannot make kefir in it. kefir is made at a comfortable room temp. i was so excited to have something to make kefir in and keep a consistent temp since our house fluctuates temp. this machine does that but the temp is tooooo hot for kefir.

product sent is yogourmet. different box, exact same machine. company would not recognize questions about yogurt plus.

I have had my Yogourmet for about 15 years now, and it still makes great yogurt. I bought an extra container so I can make a fresh batch while the other is still in the fridge. This item is an incubator that keeps the milk at the optimum temperature to produce the yogurt. Any problems with the finished yogurt are due to failures in the other steps of the process.

The big advantage of this yogurt maker is that it makes one large (2-qt.) batch of yogurt at a time. You don't need to fiddle with small, difficult-to-clean glass jars. I used to use the special Yogourmet starter, but recently I've been able to save money and make wonderful yogurt by buying 8-ounce cups of high-grade yogurt with live cultures to use as starter. I make my yogurt with powdered milk and a can of evaporated milk, and it's absolutely yummy, even when it's eaten just plain.

Best Deals on Kefir Maker/Yogurt Maker Kit with Cheese Maker Bag and Thermometer

We purchased this product four years ago, and we can not tell you how much we have used this product! It is now like second nature to simply make a batch of yogurt every Sunday evening. The homemade yogurt is so flavorful, and we simply use a small store bought plain yogurt to use as the starter (this saves us money as the packaged freeze dried starters can be pricey). We would also recommend that you buy the strainer at the same time if you enjoy greek yogurt. This attachment makes the straining process so much easier than using cheese cloth. Plus, you double your health benefits by making it into greek yogurt--more protein per serving!

We have recommended this brand to several of our freinds and family members and they all agree that it is a GREAT purchase! In addition, we priced this out on various sites and at various stores and found Amazon to have the best price (no, we don't work for Amazon).

Honest reviews on Kefir Maker/Yogurt Maker Kit with Cheese Maker Bag and Thermometer

This is the beginning of the product description for this item ---

"Product Description

2 litre (2 quart) container. With Cheese Maker Bag and Thermostat 2 litre (2 quart) capacity plastic container. With Cheese Maker Bag and Thermostat".......

From what I understand this is false there is NO THERMOSTAT with this product. Amazon or the company needs to correct this error as it is misleading. Please note I have not used this product, just contemplating buying it. So I have no personal knowledge how good the product is, that's why a 1 rating for now since the description is inaccurate.

I wish someone, besides the Japanese, would make a yogurt maker that has a digital thermostat so one can ensure yogurt is incubating at proper temps.

Thanks for letting me share.
