Easiyo Yogurt Maker

Had the older Easiyo containers they worked perfectly. They were marked at the water levels required making it easy. Unfortunately, it broke due to wear and tear. So purchased a new one. It often doesn’t work, even with trying the water levels and yogurt mix. There’s no clear indication on the new containers. Making it difficult, wasteful. Anyone… Read more

with visual issues even harder. Or in country or remote areas hoping to buy in bulk which was useful previously. I note on the website they’ve tried to add checking water. Water quality isn’t the issue, especially for the container it goes into to set. You don’t need quality, you need quantity. You’d be better to buy yoghurt, freeze and mark it for long term, and easy use from the shops.

Nice Yogurt - Too Much Unnecessary Plastic!!!! – The yogurt is good and definitely easy to make. However, the company should help to reduce plastic and replace the plastic jar with glass. As another reviewer has stated, you can find lots of the makers thrown out at op-shops. The plastic jar needs to be replaced from time to time for reasons of hygiene. A replacement jar, including postage, is… Read more

about $11. This is quite expensive considering the maker with jar is often on sale for $18 at retailers.

I believe this is a disincentive to replace the jar and an incentive to replace the whole unit. Accordingly, the company is encouraging the increase of plastic in our environment.

After contacting the company about my concerns regarding plastic, I was told that the plastic was required for safety reasons. This is just nonsensical and a poor excuse for damaging the environment.

Country Trading sell a stainless steel yogurt maker with a glass jar, and this is not much more expensive to buy, especially considering the glass jar doesn't need to be replaced.

Excellent way to get healthy greek yoghurt – Have been using this for over 10 years with some breaks in between. Always works (except for about 3 packets some time ago .. maybe related to its storage before I purchased it)..I eat it nearly every day eg with breakfast cereals and also with frozen fruit as a dessert. I just use tap water in with the yoghurt powder in the jar and boil up the… Read more

water that the jar goes into in the larger container. The packet it comes in is recyclable through redicycle..confirmed with them, just make sure you have cleaned it.

Always greek full fat for me, a little tart. Love the included description of bacterial starters. Wasn't rated as high as others but beware of lack of bacteria in the others and I at least like it's flavour..other brand was too creamy with no tartness and it achieved a much higher rating somewhere maybe by choice magazine. Given I am not a fan of yoghurts thanks Easiyo. Smaller container not so easy to clean with it's screwtop lid, larger container just leave to air-dry. But they have a newer version now, maybe that is easier to clean.

Easy to use and makes delicious yoghurt! – I purchased the easiyo yoghurt maker recently about a week and a half ago and I love it! Its so easy to use and the yoghurt is delicious! I got it from Woolies along with a few different flavoured sachets and I've used it 3 or 4 times already. The yoghurt set properly every time, I found that leaving it in the maker for 18 hours makes much thicker… Read more

yoghurt. I also found that Big W has a heap more different flavors than Woolies so I got some from there today.

I wanted to buy another 1 kg container so I could have one in the maker and another one in the fridge. When I tried to find them today, I couldn't find them anywhere. I looked in 3 different Woolies, Coles, Big W and Kmart. None of them sell separate containers, just the yoghurt makers. Coles only sold the sachets, not the yoghurt makers. I thought that surely one of those stores would sell separate containers. I even tried some op shops, where I found 1 yoghurt maker but I don't need another one, just a container. So I ended up ordering some containers online, after I tried a generic container that didn't fit in the maker properly and the lid popped off. It seems like only the easiyo brand containers are the only ones that fit and work in the maker.

Luuuuuv it!!! – Just luuuuv it - so much so have bought a maker for a couple of my friends and converted them. I buy the yoghurt sachets in bulk direct from Easiyo - much cheaper than supermarkets and as we use two a week worth the exercise. Thank you Easiyo. Show details

Use the instructions – I love this. No need to plug in, it’s a thermos. The Greek unsweetened Easiyo is perfect, l can add my own fruit, muesli, or make tzatziki or add to curries etc. I’ve found you must use a thermometer to get the temp range 15-20C. I aim for 16C. Use instructions for boiling water levels. I use an alarm set for 8 hours. Works every time. I buy the mix on sale, then it’s a bargain. Don’t use out of date mix. Show details

Setting – If you have trouble with the yoghurt setting in the cooler weather, try putting the container in a thermos bag to set, it will keep the water temperature warmer for longer. Works a treat for me.

DISAPPOINTED – I had purchased 25 pack of Greek Style yogurt, but I was disappointed that unlike my past experience, this particular lot was not working, not one pack but one after the other, there was something not quite right. I contacted them and informed them I still had 8 unopened packs and what was wrong with the lost. I was informed that replacement… Read more

would be sent, when in stock. I got only 2 packs not 8 which I was returning. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I was not seeking a charity. Easio had supplied a substandard product and was expecting the company to replace them. They failed to do so. Yesterday I informed Easio that I was not happy and I was returning all 8 packages and the 2 I had received from back to Easio. II want full refund or replacement. This experience was even worst than the first.

Poor design of lid – Initially I managed to get a few great batches of yoghurt. Now however, I have to wrap the top half in a towel and secure firmly to get the heat to stay in long enough to set the yoghurt. Love the idea but need the lid to screw on more securely. Show details

sugar – look at label 7.8 grams of sugar for 100 grams. not only mixes expensive they are rip off. you are basically paying for sugar disguised as plant based food. take any coconut based yogurt already made and sold in supermarket it is fraction of sugar compared with this powder. you want to get type 2 diabetes keep wasting your money on this dangerous product

Love it! Super Easy to use - super economical for Pensioners and Families – We have had this Easiyo yogurt maker for an incredibly long time, and it still looks brand new, and it has never failed us. As daily yogurt eaters, we make yogurt at least twice a week. It is so so simple to do, and there is a lot of variety in flavours. It takes about 4mins to make, and we leave it on the kitchen bench in the container overnight, and then next morning put it in the fridge. Tastes great. Show details

Use it all the time – Have not bought prepared yoghurt for years after finding this product. Can’t eat the mass produced prepared stuff full of thickeners after eating this. Don’t care about the sugar content as other reviewers seem to be, I’m more concerned with the amount of dairy content, that other products don’t appear to have. Quite inexpensive when you buy it… Read more

on special. I have many packets stacked in my pantry, quite disappointed that Woolworths seem to have discontinued the Greek flavoured varieties

Doesn’t make thick yogurt – The product is just rubbish that is full of sweeteners and doesn’t thicken. Show details

Love mine – I have used this yoghurt maker since it first came out many years ago and i still love it. If you find it dosent set or is too runny let it stand a little longer. Did you know if by chance it dosent set you can make a smoothy with it dont throw it out and waste it, even my pets enjoy it. You can buy other brand sachets too if you find the cost is a problem as they work just as well. Show details

Homemade yoghurt, yum – We love this product. No need for electricity to keep warm. Aesthetically looks great on them bench. Able to purchase extra tubs to keep ahead with the making. We make 2-3 tubs of yoghurt weekly. Show details

Simply Delicious! – My family eats a couple of litres of yoghurt each week so I was thrilled to discover this wonderful NZ product. So simple to use and the end result is beautiful, thick, creamy yoghurt every time. We’ve tried unsweetened Greek and strawberry flavour so far and both were delicious. Saving on $ and plastic so a win all round.  Show details

purchased a thermometer – I had some disasters and found that the water pipes were on the outside wall in full sun. So my wife purchased a thermometer - no more guessing the temperature. No more failures. Purchased a second one on special and have 2 jars cheaper than buying a new jar. Easiyo good to deal with will listen to comments about product. Replacement jars are much better Show details

This product has problems – I feel that the milk powder in the sachets is of very poor quality. I have to add 100g of my own milk powder to a whole sachet to get a professional 5 star result !

Easy to use, great yoghurt and flavours – Purchased this unit lately to use while we are travelling around Oz, very simple to use, easy directions, many flavours available to purchase, including plain greek yoghurt, using live cultures. Show details

Love it! – I have been using Easi yo for over ten years now and love it. I buy the low fat Greek variety and like the fact that it contains a lot less fat and sugar than supermarket varieties. Re not setting: I found the natural low fat was quite runny and the occasional batch of Greek can be a bit thin so I don't fill it quite to the top. However, I think… Read more

colder water and room temperature in winter may affect setting. Re leaking containers: I don't shake the mixture but stir vigorously with a spoon.

Big waste of money & time! Disappointed. Not trying anymore when I can purchase premade at similar price! – Have followed the 3 step instructions to the letter - tried to make the Honey & Banana - both refused to set! I can purchase premade at similar price. It was a novelty. Show details

Deals with yogurt wastage, thumbs up! – We got an Easi yo half way through last year, we buy the sachets on sale and it works out to $3.50 a kg. The vanilla flavour is fantastic and you can add frozen fruits as wanted. We make it the day before we need more yogurt and try to have just enough for the week. For us we were only using 250g a week for school, so we can make what we need… Read more

only and have no wastage now. It easily lasts 7-9 days so it is perfect for us.

Highly recommend, so easy to use and so cheap for good quality yogurt.

Easiyo yoghurt maker value for money – I just buy the vanilla greek flavour and perfect every time. Just lately I have added instant coffee to it yum! I can't have sugar and this is great mix. I always have a mix on the go and that means I am never short of yoghurt one in fridge and one on the blend  Show details

Easy Peasy!!! – I've been making Easiyo yogurt for a decade or more now. First the white container. Then the red. Have bought 3 to give to other people as gifts. I only use the the Greek, or Natural sachets. I find it excellent with my curries, by itself, mixed with ground flax seeds, in between mouthfuls of pepitas, sunflower seeds and a bite of banana and… Read more ·  1

occasionally on some fruit with nuts. Really like it! For that person who says the new red unit leaks when shaken.......this happened to me first time too, but when I made sure the lid was properly fastened there was no more leakage :) Love my Easiyo!!! :D

Perfect – I used the packet first time. Now i use freash milk few couple spoon of starter from the old batch and it makes perfect yougurt. So it will only cost you $1 for the 1 liter of milk. Makes sure you heat the milk to about 80 degree and then co it down to room temp before mixing your starter. Rest follow the same process. Cheap and best yougurt you will ever get.  Show details

very poor manufacturing of the yogurt maker – The yogurt produced is real good, my gripe is the plastic unit. The inner and outer peices of the unit do not fit together well and the actual jar leaks when shaking to dissolve the powder . As i said the yogurt is not the problem it is in the plastic containers. I have previously owned and used this maker EASIYO few years ago and am most… Read more

disappointed with this cheep and nasty new unit.

Dont change the yogurt but have a look at this flimsy unit.

Amazing – Such a great, inexpensive, easy way to make yogurt! For 1kg it took me 5 mins to prepare, and I left it to set overnight. Perfect texture after a stir and had been in the fridge. I bought the tropical fruits flavour sachet and it’s a lovely taste that my 4yo loves! Can’t wait to get other flavours  Show details

Easy peasy – Works. Easy to use unless you have Carple tunnel. Maybe add a handle for opening. Or an allen key type of lid. I found a cheaper packet of yoghurt. I have tried. Cheaper packet just as good as this brand. It'll save you over a $1 each packet. I'll be going with the Australian product I've lived in hot climate and cold climate. Never an issue. Never failed a batch.  Show details

Amazing Yoghurt Maker – Bought our Easiyo maker about 6 months ago when it was half price at Woolworths & used it twice/week ever since for my son. He loves it! The pouches are great how there’s so many flavours, & they’re very easy to make. I use the reusable pouches too, so it makes it heaps cheaper than buying single-use pouches from the supermarket.  Show details
