does what it's supposed to! Except the timer doesn't work May 14, 2008
I love this yogurt maker, but the timer doesn't work.
It's just a piece of plastic that turns around.

I tried the Donvier machine first and was dissapointed with the uneven, low heat it provided. It also came with plastic jars and lids which I don't like. This machine is $10 cheaper because it does not have a timer or a thermometer. I just used that $10 to buy a timer and a thermometer, problem solved.

The Eurocuisine holds heat well and it produced a very firm yogurt (13 hour culture w/ Eurocuisine starter) the first time. It keeps heat around 105-110F which is good enough to make yogurt using 3-4 bacteria. It came out looking like a custard, perfect. Want to make firm yogurt with only two bacteria, like using a Fage starter? Simply put a dish rag over the top of the covered machine to boost it's temp about 5F and let it culture over 10 hours.

I also like the fact that this machine comes with glass jars which are much more sanitary. The plastic ones can scratch and leave a surface for bacteria to cling to. The jars are durable, the only potential problem is that the covers leak a couple of drops if you turn the jar upside down and then back up again. This didn't seem to be a problem for me since my yogurt was not watery. I could only get the jar to drip by putting water in it and intentionally trying to make it leak.

Even with little flaws, this machine gets 5 stars. It does a great job of maintaining heat which is the most important facet of yogurt making. I plan to buy more jars so I can make even more.

lots of fun and yummy but inconsistant results March 4, 2008

I was given this yogurt maker for Christmas.. it seemed the world's most random gift to give me, but the funny thing was, unknown to anyone, i had been thinking i should be eating more yogurt, so being a quirky/silly person, i decided this would be my new obsession.

it's been a lot of fun, i've discovered the torani syrups, used to make italian sodas and coffee drinks are great for adding flavor and sweetening up the yogurt... and appeals to me as a kid who ate oddly colored artificially flavored yogurt... i kind of like the irony of 'i make my own organic yogurt, with flavor syrups!' 1TBSpoon per jar seems to be just right... i'll mix and match flavors too (1/2 TBS each) i tend to make 7 different flavors of yogurt, or six and one plain (incase i'm eating middle eastern or indian food that week)...

my only complaint is that in one batch some jars will come out perfect, some will separate to almost a hockey puck of yogurt cheese floating in whey...

this morning i put my thermometer in the yogurt maker after i took out the newest batch and found that it reaches about 130 degrees in there - everything i've read says to keep it around 105-115

to the touch, it also feels like some spots are warmer than others

i think that's my problem.

i may try putting down a layer of paper towels under the jars to see how that helps...

most used kitchen appliance! February 23, 2008

in an effort to cut out unnecessary sugar from my diet, and also to reduce the waste I was creating with all those plastic yogurt containers, I decide I really needed to start making my own yogurt. I was so pleased it was as simple and easy as prior reviews have said!

As I have always eaten non-fat yogurt, I've only ever made my own with skim milk. The first couple batches I used a container of store bought plain yogurt for starter, but now use the packaged yogurt starter from the market and find a vast improvement in the firmness and taste of the yogurt. I make at least two batches a week, and even with my chaotic schedule, i can find the time to bring a pan of milk to the bubble. I usually also mix in some vanilla or almond extract before setting the jars in the incubator. I've given up worrying about having a timer. i find anywhere from 7 to 12 hours gives me the same result of a nice firm yogurt. The tartness of this "real" yogurt does take some getting used to. For the diet conscious, some honey or stevia stirred in helps, but you will find in a couple of months you are find without any added sweetener.

It is worth it to pick up an extra set of jars. I'm a huge klutz, but even after 5 months, i have yet to actually break one. Still, you want to ability to make as many batches as possible. Best of all, no more yogurt containers which cannot be (at least in my area, they can't be) recycled!

Excellent product! January 13, 2008

I got this yogurt maker about two months ago and I'm so happy I did. I was afraid I would be too lazy to make my own yogurt. Who doesn't have dozens of gadgets in the kitchen that go unused for years? Totally the opposite with this machine. I use it all the time and the result is excellent! Making yogurt is really easy, with very little cleaning to do. I like to boil the milk because the yogurt comes out firmer which adds up one pot to clean but really no big deal. It hardly takes any time to prepare. The flavor is excellent. I spend less money making my own yogurt and I know what's in it.

I don't care that this yogurt maker doesn't have auto shut-off. You need to put the yogurt in the fridge when it is done anyway, so what's the big deal if you have to turn it off yourself?

I love the fact that the jars are made of glass and the machine is smaller than I expected so it takes very little counter space.

I consider this product a winner.
