Yogourmet 104 Electric Yogurt Maker
When you use the Yogourmet, you do not have to worry about dirtying any jars or pouring your yogurt mixture into containers. This maker comes with a good-sized container that you pour your mixture right in- plus, it is dishwasher-safe.
We appreciated that you could take the container and put it in the fridge. Then, you could spoon yourself out a serving of fresh yogurt whenever you wanted it. Some people might appreciate having single-serving jars more, but this method is best if fewer people live in your home.
The kit also includes a strainer bag for when you make Greek yogurt and a thermometer. The tool is essential if you want to add in the bacteria at the perfect temperature. This maker’s compact size is also great if you have limited kitchen space to set it up.
Key features
- Comes with tools to make Greek yogurt
- Dishwasher-safe storage container
- Simple, easy to use
DASH Greek Yogurt Maker
If you are more interested in making Greek yogurt above anything else, this product would be more catered to you. It can make up to two quarts of yogurt at once and comes with all the tools you need.
For instance, ordering this item would get you two containers for making Greek yogurt. The first is for the fermentation process, the second for straining and storing. The container is a compact size, so you do not have to worry about it taking up all of the space in your fridge.
We think its compact size would make it perfect for a dorm room or smaller apartment- so no matter where you live, you can still make your favorite Greek yogurt. The machine itself comes in three fun colors, too, so you could match it to your room.
However, this model does tend to overheat. Customers have reported in their reviews that the heating elements may melt the plastic interior section if they become too hot. Still, many others have had great luck with this item.
Finally, we appreciated that the brand includes a recipe book and access to a recipe database with this order. It is an all in one product- and is easy to clean on top of that.
Key features
- Affordable
- Compact and great for smaller rooms
- Comes with access to a variety of yogurt recipes

MVPower Automatic Digital Yogurt Machine
If you have a big family that loves eating yogurt, then this would be a great model to consider. It is affordable and includes eight jars- meaning that you can create 48 ounces of yogurt at once!
We think the amount of yogurt you can prepare at once makes it perfect for large families. Especially if everyone has a different flavor that they like. You could make everyone their own jar even if you wanted.
Key features
- Best choice for large families
- Can make multiple flavors at once
- Affordable
Cuisinart ICE-21PK Frozen Yogurt Maker
If you want an item that can make more than just yogurt, this model would be the best choice for you. It can make frozen yogurt treats, ice cream, and fresh sorbet. Making frozen desserts from scratch is healthier because you decide how much sugar and fats to add in.
We also appreciated that this item worked fast- it only takes 20 minutes to make your snacks compared to the average of eight hours of the other makers.
Key features
- Works fast
- Can make multiple cold snacks
- Does not require ice or salt

Buyer’s Guide
Making Yogurt
To make your own yogurt, you need to boil and strain your milk first. Once it has cooled off, you add in your probiotics (good bacteria that help your gut). Seal your mixture in an airtight container, then set it in the yogurt maker for six to ten hours.
The process is simple. You can even add your own flavors or fruits if you would like. Plus, you can alter the consistency to be thicker or thinner per your tastes.
FAQ
How does a yogurt maker work?
All of them work in similar ways. Once you add your milk mixture, the machine will keep it at a consistent temperature until it solidifies into yogurt.
What happens if you leave yogurt in the yogurt maker too long?
At a certain point, your yogurt will start to curdle! Be sure you take it out before too much time passes.
