E-Ware EW-5K102B Electric Yogurt Maker

I have tried many times to turn almond (and soy) milk into yogurt and it just doesn't work. I'm sure regular milk does a great job in this machine but I bought it because we have dairy issues and was hoping to get almond milk to work. As far as the machine goes it will no doubt do what it says it will WITH MILK, but don't expect it to work with almond or soy milk.

I tried my first batch of yogurt. It didn't work. The yogurt never set up. I basically tried the recipe from the instruction booklet, which is very poor. I am not giving up yet, though! I plan to try another batch tomorrow, so that's why I gave the appliance 3 stars. There's still hope! I'm using a recipe from Mary Jane Toth's Cheesemaking book. I'm keeping the lids on the jars (the manufacturer says to put them on at the end of 6 hours) and I'm going to leave the yogurt in the appliance for more than 6 hours--maybe 8-12! I will try to renew my review at a later date.I tried it again. I used a recipe from Mary Jane Toth's Cheesemaking book. She has yogurt recipes in the back. I had to modify it once again, however, because her recipes make 2 quarts, not one liter. I let it "cook" for 13 hours and then did not touch it, except for putting it in the fridge, for 24 hours. I also left the lids on the jars during the incubating process. We tried two jars. They were wonderful! However, we tried two more just this morning and they were runny.All in all, I would not recommend this yogurt maker. The directions are hard to follow..like they were originally written in German and then sent to China and translated by the Chinese into English! After saving my pennies again, I will purchase a 2 quart yogurt maker from Hoegger Supply, no matter what the cost. This one was a waste of money.

When I first got it, I put natural yogurt in as the starter. That turned out watery after about 20 hours in the maker,but it tasted ok. I just made the second batch with powdered starter and it worked great! I heated the milk to 185 degrees, cooled it to 112, and added the powder before pouring it into the cups. i put it in the maker overnight and it was delicious! I am very excited about it and would definitely recommend using the powder starter.

Came with no real clear directions or instructions of ingredients to use or how much. I had to buy a separate yogurt book to find out how much of each ingredient to use.

I love this yogurt maker. I have already made 2 batches and they are so yummy. When I'm ready to eat one I mix a small amount of vanilla extract in it and top it with a few sliced strawberries and granola. I also love the fact that I am controlling what is in my yogurt. No sugar or artificial sweetener

Love this item. Have had at least 6 months & never had a problem. Jars are easy to clean, despite what other reviewers have said on other web sites. I have absolutely no problem. Takes a little time to figure what is right for you. How long to incubate the yogurt, best combination of ingredients, how long to let it cool before putting in the refrigerator etc. What kind of milk to use.Researched suggestions for different recipes for yogurt and finally hit on the perfecft one. I was kind of just trial & error. I ended up not heating the milk beyond just comfortably warm. Also learned it is good to preheat the item about 3 minutes before putting the yogurt into the jars in the maker Found the best & cheapest starter. Even bought extra set of jars in case one brokeNow, it is so quick and easy, I make yogurt at least once a week.

I choose this product to make some nice, smooth, creamy yogurt, but it simly does not work. We tried to follow the instructions, play with the different ratio milk/yogurt, checked all tips at the internet, tried best yogurt and milk available, the result was always some liquid a little bit similar to a buttermilk. Last chance I will try the yogurt starter and if the result will be the same, I will return it to Amazon.

I followed the directions and still came out watery or lumpy. It is completely useless for me, and you are better off just buying greek yogurt if thats what u are getting it for
