Yogurt Maker, Compact Greek Yogurt Maker Machine with Constant Temperature Control, Stainless Steel Container, 1 Quart for Home Organic Yogurt

This yogurt has it all - and for half the price of the others I've looked at! When it first arrived, I thought the instruction manual must be missing: it was just a folded up sheet! I thought there had to be more that was missing, but this little machine is so easy to use; after pouring (UNHEATED!) milk and up to 1 tsp of the packaged culture(not included) into the provided metal canister, you put on the cover and plug it in. Voila! 12 hrs later, you have perfect yogurt. I tried mine with grass-fed whole milk and it was so rich and creamy I didn't need to strain it. I also made soy milk yogurt using West Life organic soy milk, 1 tsp of powdered culture, and 12 hrs later - rich, creamy soy yogurt! I was worried that incubating for 12 hrs would produce a very sour yogurt, but the taste was mild and creamy, with just a slight tanginess to it. This JoyMech yogurt maker is the perfect size for one person - the container holds about 3 1/2 cups of milk. It would definitely be too small for a family of 3 or 4, but for me, a container lasts me about 3 days if I eat the yogurt every day for 1 meal. The metal container is easy to pop into the dishwasher, and, best of all, unlike the Bear yogurt maker that I finally gave up on because of its breakable glass container, the JoyMech metal container is very easy to remove with no possible breakage.

The people in any of the reviews if unhappy would likely do well to pay a bit more attention to the instructions. I made a couple batches of Yogurt from the easy-to-understand instructions, and the Yogurt came out very good. You can make it thin or thick, depending on the ingredients and how long you let it ferment. I like it thick and use 50% Whole Milk & 50% Half & Half to get it thick.

I made several batches of yogurt that got better with each batch, but then 2 batches completely failed, and turns out the machine is not working at all. The light comes on, there is NO heat. Since it has good reviews I wanted to exchange it but there seems to be absolutely nothing I can do. I'm disappointed and angry at this process, or lack of process. Lasted 5 weeks.

Makes great yogurt with very little effort. The instructions with photos are easy to use. I've made the Dr Davis L reuteri yogurt with half and half that ferments for 36 hours and it came out so thick and fluffy and delicious (although the smell of the first batch while still warm was off-putting, it was fine after a few hours in the fridge)I've also made 30 hour yogurt with Fairlife whole milk and it was thick and delicious too. Fermenting longer than the directions say makes for a much thicker product with more probiotics, so don't be afraid to ferment as long as 24-36 hours if you like a Greek style thicker yogurt.I'm taking off one star for the fact that there is no temperature control and the flimsy lid. Other than that, I am very happy with the yogurt that this little machine produces.

We love this very easy to use Yougart maker. It makes delicious yougartMy tips1. Use 3 cups 100% whole fresh milk, mix 2 TBS full fat power milk well into the fresh mix (this makes it thick)2 Place the above ingredients in a microwave bowl and heat on full power for 1min then stir, heat again, do this 3 times, to heat milk gently. (All in all you heat it 3 min)3. Mix a small tub of full fat yougart into the warm milk, mix well4. Poor the mixture into the steel bowl of the yougart masjien5. Put the plastic lid on, make sure lid is turned to yougart6. Power on the masjien and let it warm for 24 hour. Do not touch it or even lift the lid to take peek7. After 24 hours take the steal bowl out of the masjien and let it cool down for 1 hour before you put it in the fridge8. Keep covered in fridgeENJOY

The media could not be loaded. It doesn’t tell you the temperature and it has been making runny yogurt from the start (I’ve tried several times). It’s still good enough to eat with fruit and nuts but it’s not creamy. The size is smaller than I thought but it makes enough for 4-5 bowls so I think it’s good that is not too big as it doesn’t take so much space in the kitchen. And it’s cute too. But if I could return it, I would.

Very happy with this yogurt maker. I make the Dr Davis yogurt with this and it is easy to use and the product is great

This yogurt maker is low quality. The temperature is not consistent, and the metal pan you are supposed to make the yogurt in is not suitable because I would not store it in the refrigerator, and it gets too hot on the bottom. The way I made this machine work is: Instead of the metal pan, I use a 4 cup glass pyrex storage bowl (the kind with a plastic lid, but don't use the lid while making the yogurt). It fits, suspended in the machine but does not touch the bottom and does not get too hot. The yogurt maker lid does fit over it. When the yogurt is ready, I put on the plastic storage lid and place it directly in the fridge. You can only actually make 3 1/2 cups of yogurt at one time with this, which is okay, I guess. With everything being made so poorly these days, I decided to keep this, and it is working fine with my adaptations, at least for now. If it doesn't last I'll report, and lower the rating.
