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

This is one neat yoghurt maker that is great value as it works well, is easy to use, and does and excellent job. It also came with excellent instructions. I am one happy customer and can recommend this cool device that gives one good yoghurt for far less than having to buy it. All one needs is some milk and a bit of yoghurt and one is off and running. I am one happy camper!

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.

Making yogurt WITHOUT heating milk to 185 first (or some saying a little higher) then cooling down to about 112 does not give you yogurt! The instructions are misleading. I bought it because it says you just put the powder in the milk and put in the yogurt maker and 12 hours later you have yogurt. This sounded too good to be true but thought I would try it. When it didn't work, I went to troubleshooting and it tells you if you didn't get yogurt it's because you didn't heat up the milk and then cool it! Heating the milk up first and cooling it down should be in the INSTRUCTIONS, NOT in the trouble shooting. I'm very baffled by the ones stating they had great yogurt by using it according to the instructions. I followed their instructions and ended up with something gross. It also does not make a full quart. I am returning this purchase and sticking with my faithful yogurt "thermos" method.

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.

This little appliance is perfect for yogurt making! At first I thought I had made a mistake buying it. After all, it doesn't have any buttons or gauges, just an on/off light. But here's what you do... In a separate container heat up 2-3 cups of milk to 200°, then let it cool down to 135° (about 25 minutes). Then add your live freeze-dried cultures, put it into the yogurt maker, and plug it in. Let it sit for anywhere from 6 to 12 hours depending on how thick and tangy you want it to be. That's it! Add whatever flavors, fruit, and sweeteners you want. I am very satisfied with the quality of yogurt I got from this little yogurt maker.

Works well with whole milk. I use yogurt starter packets. Just add one packet or a teaspoonful to milk and cover on. I leave it on overnight, 12-15 hours. Makes delicious yogurt. It’s normally not that thick because homemade yogurt has no thickening agent in it like the store bought ones. I mix with oats or cottage cheese and fruit.

The temperature on this went up to 115°. Definitely not suitable for a reuterii yogurt, which needs to stay at 100° or maybe slightly less. I had to rescue my batch and remove it from the yogurt maker, wrapped towels around it and finished it on my counter, luckily all the bacteria hadn't been killed yet.

Just using it for the second time but so far, it’s just what I needed. I prefer the smaller size, yet it still makes a quart if yogurt. I like that it doesn’t have a timer so I can leave it on as ling as I choose.

VERY GOOD EASY TO USE MAKE YOUGART VERY NICE

Love this little machine. Works great. I eat yogurt everyday. Saves money.

es ist toll schade aber das man es nicht ein oder ausschalten kann

Petit prix mais bon produit quand même. 1L de lait fait environ 10 yaourts. J’utilise des ferments du commerce et le résultat est délicieux en 12h. Elle fait le job c’est parfait et elle prend peu de place avec sa simple cuve. Il n’y a pas de minuteur ni d’interrupteur mais au final ce n’est pas indispensable. J’aurais aimé un couvercle pour mettre la cuve au frigo après mais c’est pas grave. Super petit appareil.

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo
