Works great, plan to always have yogurt on hand
I recently made my second batch of yogurt. I used Bulgarian yogurt from the health food store as the starter for the first batch, but I used some from my first homemade yogurt for the starter in the second batch. Both methods worked great.I watched a video on Amazon for this yogurt maker that showed a guy using half&half, inulin, and starter without having to heat the liquid. That sounded like the easiest way to make it, but after buying the unit, I watched other videos where everyone heated the liquid to 180° and then let it cool to 100° before adding the starter. That’s how I made the first two batches.I emailed the tech support for the unit to ask about the necessity of heating the liquid. They told me that the reason to heat it is to kill any possible bad bacteria. However, if I’m confident that my ingredients and jars are sterile, I could try making it without heating it. I believe ultra-processed milk or half&half should be used if you don’t heat it. I’m going to try the next batch without heating it and see if it works.Having to heat up the liquid means more dishes to wash and the need for a thermometer. It also means having to spend more time monitoring it as it cools. It’s probably worth the hassle if it’s necessary, but I’ll try the no-heat method and see if it works for me.I’m using the 36-hour at 99° settings. Apparently, that’s the sweet spot for getting good yogurt with a lot of probiotics.My homeopathic advisor wants me to have Bulgarian yogurt three to four times a day (a couple of tablespoons at a time) because my gut got messed up a few months ago from taking antibiotics. It tastes so good, I will continue to eat it forever.You might need an extra bowl or more jars if you plan to use some as starter for a new batch.

DIY Gut Bliss Station
I never thought making my own yogurt could feel this empowering—two buttons, a dial, and boom, a cozy little cocoon for probiotic goodness. Crank the temp, set the timer, and you’ve got a bubbling jar of creamy culture magic ready in hours. No guesswork, no funky appliances cluttering the counter—just smooth, tangy yogurt that’s literally alive with trillions of good guys for your gut.It’s super chill to experiment, too. I’ve tried plain, vanilla, even a cheeky matcha swirl, and every batch comes out silky and thick. Cleanup’s a breeze—everything pops right off, no stubborn bits hiding in corners. Bonus points for the lifetime promise; feels like a kitchen sidekick that’s in it for the long haul.If you’re serious about leveling up your digestive game (and want bragging rights for next-level homemade snacks), this thing’s a game-changer. Homemade yogurt just hit legendary status.

Great quality yogurt maker
The Ultimate yogurt maker is a really nice quality machine. I personally think of it more like a yogurt "incubator" rather than a yogurt maker, because the machine itself isn't really "making" the yogurt, it's just incubating the culture(s) that you've decided to use in your yogurt. I bought this maker specifically to make L. Reuteri yogurt. Technically yogurt has to contain a different culture to be called "yogurt", so I guess L. Reuteri yogurt has to be called a "cultured dairy product". But for all other purposes L. Reuteri cultured dairy is a yogurt, so I will just refer to it as yogurt. I've included a pic of the Ultimate yogurt maker sitting on my countertop (along with one of the 2 bowls/lids that were included with my machine) as well as a pic of the first spoonful of yogurt from my first batch. I did expect some "separation" of curds and whey on my first batch as many people have had making their first batch. But my first batch turned out great. No separation. I used the L. Reuteri culture from "Cutting Edge Cultures" and "Microingredients Organic Inulin Powder". I have checked the temperature of the incubation bath water several times during the 36 hour incubation process in my Ultimate yogurt maker. The temperature can be set exactly at 99 degrees Fahrenheit which is the temp suggested for L. Reuteri yogurt. My particular machine registered consistently about 1 degree warmer during the 36 hour incubation. I'm not sure if the temperature anomaly is due to my thermometer reading the temp a bit warmer than the actual temp, or if the yogurt maker just ran a touch warmer than the set temp of 99 degrees. In my case, it really doesn't make much difference as the L. Reuteri culture likes to be around human body temp, and our bodies fluctuate in temperature throughout the day as we go about our daily lives. So if "exact" temperature is important to you, I'd suggest to turn on your yogurt maker for several hours while filled up with water, and check the temperature several times to see where your yogurt maker temperature runs. I'm guessing a difference of a few degrees probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference to these culture bacteria... they're just happy to be in a warm bath of milk or Half and Half, as long as it doesn't get too warm to "cook" them. Anyway, this is a nice machine, feels like it's made very well, it feels like the materials are nice quality, and it looks nice sitting on my countertop. I don't know the specific temperature and time ranges that this machine has, but I think the incubation time range can be up to 48 hours and the temp can can be set up to 104 degrees. I'm not certain about those ranges so check the manufacturers page for those specific numbers. This is a nice appliance and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to jump into making their own yogurt. And they do offer a set of free yogurt jars that fit into their machine if you follow the directions in the included literature on how to get the offer. I've been notified by email that my free jars are on their way.

Best Yogurt machine! And company is of highest standards !
This yogurt maker exceeds the other two brands I have purchased. I had the very first yogurt this morning from this . The consistency was PERFECT ( I used same ingredients as always to be able to test ) This company exceeds most companies out there. I received a thank you note ! The packing went far above all competitors! If you are considering buying strictly the cheapest , you WILL regret this decision. I’m always on the hunt for best bargains for sure, but in this case I ended up wasting all the $$ spent on other two . After all, why are we bothering making our own yogurt?? We want purity and quality . So imo this brand has the highest standards of all I have ever used. You won’t be sorry. And although I have no complaints on this product…the fact that they send a THANK YOU with your order lets me know IF there were a problem, they are the type of company that will do everything in their power to take care of any problems! Thank you for this quality product!!
