surprisingly pleased
I cannot say enough good things about this item, even though I purchased it somewhat tentatively and my husband thought it would be the next big white elephant. I decided on this product as it seemed to offer a few extras for slightly more cost (thermometer, timer, etc.). I have been making yogurt every week since however and it could not be easier, fresher or better tasting. I have followed the directions included with the maker and have not had any problems (organic skim milk, organic milk...

Homemade is great, but it does make demands
This works, certainly, so I'll only discuss a few points.
Containers:
The individual portions are helpful for packing in lunches (I had considered the cheaper, 1-qt. container model). But, the cups are a troublesome to clean, since they are quite narrow. I've tried the dishwasher, but it doesn't get all the yogurt off the bottom. So I handwash. Not a big deal, but maybe a dealbreaker for some.
Recipe: the directions in the package make about 1 qt., which leaves the...

The best yogurt I've ever tasted!
I love my yogurt maker! If you're one of those few unfortunate people who can't seem to make it work, maybe I can help. I have been using instant dry milk--any brand will do. (OR, you can use 4 cups of two-percent milk and mix in 1/2 cup instant dry milk. The instant dry milk seems to help it thicken.) I mixed 1 1/4 cups of instant dry milk into four cups of water. (Mix it in well, or you may have lumps.) I also heat the milk in the microwave for nine minutes instead of in a sauce pan on the sto...

Worked the Very First Time!
I had been wanting to purchase the Donvier yogurt maker since reading "French Women Don't Get Fat", but I wasn't sure that I wanted to get another appliance. I finally took the plunge, and I'm very glad I did - so is my husband.
I heated up a quart of organic 2% milk until I saw bubbles form at the edge of the pan. I poured the milk into a bowl that has a handle and a pouring spout. At this point, I added some nonfat milk powder, so that the yogurt would be firmer (a trick I learne...

Better than I expected!
TERRIFIC! I, too, read the French Woman book, but that wasn't my only reason for buying a Donvier. I have been wanting to try making homemade yogurt for (as much as I hate to admit it) several decades.
As soon as I could after receiving the machine, I tried out back-to-back versions: one with commercial Donvier starter, and one with active-yogurt from a local dairy. Both turned out great... the commercial starter was more firm and sharper, the local dairy was softer in both taste...

Yogurt at home
Easy. Makes good product. What more could you want? Yogurt is yummy. Use condensed fat-free milk (sweetened or not) for better body than non-fat dry milk if you want a non-fat yogurt.

Don't waste your money
After having made my own yogurt with a different brand of yogurt maker for over twenty years, I knew what I hoped for in a new yogurt maker. This one looked good, but didn't last for even a year. The first difficulty was the jars included with the maker appeared to be polycarbonate, which contains Bisphenol A, and were unacceptable. I had to find glass jars that could be used instead. The electronic timer became intermittent after about 6 months and stopped working completely soon after that...

Yogurt for Life!!!
I am absolutely thrilled with the Cuisipro Donvier Elect. Yogurt Maker! I first learned of it when I read "Why French Women Don't Get Fat" and believed it was a good idea to have good yogurt everyday(as opposed to yogurt loaded with sugar). Finally I decided I needed to buy this machine so I could make my own yogurt, healthier and much cheaper! The only time in preperation comes in waiting for the milk to heat up on the stove to the proper temp, then let it cool down enough before adding the ...

Excellent Yogurt Maker
I discovered making my own yogurt about 30 years ago while on Weight Watchers. Although I haven't always stuck to the diet since then, I still love having my own home made yogurt! Recently my faithful Salton finally died and I went looking for a new maker. After some research I settled on this Donvier model. Although I was able to find it at a local gourmet shop, it wasn't easy - none of the other stores around here had any on hand. The price and free shipping through Amazon for it would actua...

Electronic Yogurt Maker
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) The product works well. It needs a better instruction book with more recipes. I used information from google searches on the internet to get the right combination of ingredients and temperatures. The yogurt comes out better than anything you can buy in the store. There is a bit of prep work, but it is worth it.
