Buen dia. Excelente maquina trabaja muy bien

I bought this so that I could still have yogurt during these shelter in place times. I was a bit dubious if I could pull off a coconut milk yogurt since I have no idea what I'm doing. I tried to make yogurt in an Instant Pot that didn't have a yogurt setting (due to air frying in its place), and that was a sorry disaster. This EuroCUisine is defintely the way to go. IMPORTANT: You don't just take a spoon of magic yogurt powder and stir it with coconut milk and then pour that liquid combo into the EuroCuisine jars and turn on the Eurocuisine machine and walk away. It's WAY MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, AND ALL THE HARD PART COMES BEFORE YOU GET TO USE THE EUROMACHINE. All this machine is, it's a heater that has a temp that's right for incubating yogurt and a timer that shows how many hours (not minutes) have elapsed. That's it. So, before you get to use the EuroCuisine, you have to make a concoction using a saucepan on a stove and a thermometer and yogurt starter and that sort of thing. None of the stuff you need to do the tricky part comes with the Euromachine. WHAT I DID: I bought a yogurt starter on Amazon that would work with vegan yogurt. I followed the directions on the vegan yogurt starter packet for the temperatures that the coconut milk in the saucepan had to be heated to (and not above or you kill the magic yogurt bacteria), etc. Sadly, even that's not enough info though. I researched online and found out that to make thick and creamy coconut milk yogurt (as opposed to watery yogurt soup), I needed to add a little maple syrup and a little agar powder at just the right time to the coconut milk in the saucepan so the yogurt starter has what it needs to work best. In other words, if you want to do coconut milk yogurt you need to research online because timing & temperature is everything re when to add the agar powder and when to add the maple syrup verses when you add the yogurt starter. ALSO IMPORTANT: It's all easy once you noodle it out, but you have to take the relevant info off the yogurt stater packet, the relevant info re maple syrup and agar powder off the web, and then the eurocuisine has its own operating instructions, none of it rocket science but it requires a bit of thinking and organization beforehand. Because I used cocounut milk, I use the EuroCuisine for around 13 - 14 hours and after being in the fridge overnight it WAS PERFECT thick and creamy and tasty. I was in shock it was so good. Re the coconut milk, I used enough unsweetened coconut milk, mixed with one small can of unsweetened coconut cream, that all together would fill all seven EuroCuisine jars. Each jar holds about 2/3 cup, fyi. I also bought a thermometer for hot liquids on Amazon. I used that to make sure that I met the temperature requirements on the yogurt starter packet. Can't be too hot and can't be too cold. THe reviews about the jars having lids that don't close perfectly are true. The Eurocuisine jars are good jars to make the yogurt in, they are good jars to store in fridge, but if you were planning on packing a lunch, then you'll need to use a different glass jar with tight lid for taking in lunches (I bought those lunch jars off of Amazon too, I think they were meant for taking baby food but hey at least the baby food lids are pretty colors). The reviews about the Eurocuisine lids not being the best to keep clean probably true too, but I'm not too nervous about it, I just let it dry extra long on the counter. If I start to see mold as some reviews worry about, well then I'd just transfer into the baby jars sooner. (You don't use the Eurocuisine lids on the jars when you're making the yogurt fyi, they're just for storage anyway). The reviews talking about the shape of the glass jars not being super user friendly for cleaning also true, but that's an easy fix - just soak in water for an hour and then the glass parts of the jars rinse clean pretty easily. SO that's it! Happy yogurt making!

Produto muito bom!

Do not buy this product!! On the first use all lids melted, buckled and warped! Unbelievable, do not believe all the reviews! They also wanted me to return it to the United States!! Thank you to Lydia at Amazon who has cleared it up and quickly and efficiently got me my refund and I do not need to return such a faulty yogurt maker all the way back to the States.

Updated. The manufacturer responded to our email. They had me cut the cord and email a photo, and a copy of the invoice. They then sent me a new base. Received, and working. It is unfortunate that the first base only lasted 11 months, but we are happy to have been sent a new base. Hopefully it will last longer than 11 months. I know things do not last as long as they used to, but I do expect to get 3-5 years out of a device. I could not decide if my Review should be 4 Star for the product, or 5 Star for the final Customer Service. I opted for 5 Stars. -------- We bought this in August 2024. The product worked very well for 11 months. We use it once every 1-2 weeks, and the yoghurt comes out well. A couple of weeks ago, the yoghurt was runny. About a week later, I started the batch a bit late (10pm), so I expected to remove the yoghurt at 10am the following day. I noticed that my wife had removed the batch (at 8am). She said it had finished. The yoghurt was fine, but it should have gone to 10am. I checked the Maker... starting at 10am to run to 10pm. It turned itself off after a couple of hours. Tried again for 2,4,6 hours... Would not run more than an hour or two. The display had various odd dashes in it. There do not appear to be any error codes for this product. I use the Amazon link to go to the Euro Cuisine website, and emailed Euro Cuisine. I am waiting to hear from them... I will update the review accordingly.
