Cuisipro Donvier Electronic Yogurt Maker: Create Delicious, Homemade Yogurt in Minutes

Lois Curry: I love the yogurt maker and the reason I bought this particular model was that a friend has had one for years and makes the most delicious yogurt.

Mvolks: This yogurt maker works as advertised and the quality of most of the kit is good.
I found upon receiving that two extra covers were supplied...nice touch.

I now know why, most of them have cracked even if hand washed form new.
I still have to contact seller about the warranty, the covers started cracking after 4 months of usage (once a week).

It's too bad as I am pleased with the compactness and efficiency of the machine.

Spencer: Not really any problems, except that is small and doesn't make a lot of yogurt and we like A LOT of yogurt at my house!!

Lillian Leese: Simple to use, comes with a foolproof thermometer for heating milk to exact temp before adding starter.
One less thing to buy at the grocery store! Very fresh, preservative free yogert. Needs less sweetening because it is fresh.
Highly recommended.

Debbie: Just made my first batch of yogurt and am absolutely thrilled with the finished product. My husband eats more yogurt than I do, and even he says it was delicious - better than store bought. No defects with the machine as mentioned in some reviews. Quick and easy to use. Some have mentioned that you have to double the recipe to fill the containers. True, but if you do the regular amount/recipe which gives you 4 oz. per container, it leaves you with room to stir in additional things like fruit and granola, etc., should you wish to eat straight out of the container. I used (32 oz.) whole milk, 1/3 cup skim milk powder (to help with creaminess as suggested in some recipes), and one and a half heaping tablespoons of plain yogurt with active cultures and let it incubate for 10 hours - all as suggested. Can't wait to make more. I think everyone needs to try different variations of the recipe which I will continue to do (i.e., skim milk vs. whole milk, powdered starter vs. 1-2 tbsp. of actual yogurt) to find out the best fit for their own taste as what's delicious for me, may not be for someone else. I have read that the type of milk that you use as well as the...

cyn ann: My main reason for getting the yogurt maker is to reduce trash - no more yogurt containers to toss into the landfill. The machine is very easy to use. The recipe is simple and straightforward. I wish the jars were glass instead of plastic, but I believe they are BPA-free. A big selling point - I can order more jars if I need to.

My only problem with the yogurt maker is the timer switch. I couldn't get it to work at all at first. I contacted (via email) the company. They told me I'd have to go through Amazon to return the machine. I tried working the switch again, and I've been able to figure out the idiosyncracies for now - just takes pushing the button at the right angle. I'm saving the box in case it fails, and I'll return it to Amazon.

I've only made one batch of yogurt. It turned out great. The yogurt can't be flavored prior to "cooking" it, so fruits, etc. are added after it's made. I did 10 1/2 hours for my first batch, and it was a tad thin. I'll add an hour next time.

A tip to those who don't think ahead - like me: don't start your batch of yogurt at a time that requires you to get up at 2:30 a.m. to put it in the frig...

Contrary One: Bought this to make yogurt from the milk from our herd of goats we have. Received it and went to make our first batch, and low and behold neither of the timer buttons would work. And since you have to program in a time for the appliance to start, there was to be no yogurt. No problem I thought. Was simply unlucky enough to get a defective unit....hey it happens. Contacted Amazon, they sent out a replacement and picked up the detective unit. Got the replacement. Minute button works this time but the hour button does not. Well you can enter time now if you go by the minutes. Of course for a 10 hour batch of yogurt, that means pushing the button 600 times. Don't know about you but I'll pass, thanks.

Pros: Like the design (space saving over round setups), contatiners looked good and durable.

Cons: Now if they could only make one that actually works, it might be nice to actually try the machine and see how it actually makes yogurt.

Amazon can have the replacement back too. I'll find a different brand that actually works the way it is supposed to.

meg: I bought this yogurt maker about a year ago. When I used organic 2% milk, it turned out fine--softer than commercial yogurt, but still thick and creamy and yummy. When I used non-organic 2% milk, "yogurt-tasting milk" (as another reviewer puts it) was the result. I did not want to use powdered milk to thicken it, but only Dannon or Stonyfield plain yogurt as a starter. The price of organic milk is a killer, so I returned to trying to make a good batch with non-organic milk, and I think I have figured out a solution.

Non-organic milk is crawling with antibiotics--which will kill off the beneficial bacteria which make yogurt nice and yogurty. When I heated the milk far beyond the point where it steams and makes tiny bubbles, in fact heating it to almost a full boil, it kills the antibiotics and thus leaves the milk friendly to the yogurt culture. The result was thick-enough yogurt every time.

The only pot I have which allows heating milk to that point without scorching is a glass one from the Visions line.

Also, when you need parts from the company, call them, don't email them. I tried the email way first and got no response. Calling...
