I do like Easyio so might go for this.

All the photos of what can be done with yoghurt look wonderful. Are the yoghurt mixes low in sugar?

The flavours look nice (apart from the chocolate ones).

I’ve ordered this plus the maker - OH is gonna do his nut! Firstly he can’t stand yoghurt so it won’t excite him in any way shape or form and he’ll remember the yoghurt maker I used to have some years ago that he nagged me into getting rid of because it was bulky and took up too much space in the cupboard and in the fridge. To be fair it was a bulky bit of kit that ran on electricity but I loved it. You started it of with a couple of tbs of live yoghurt then added a litre of UHT milk plugged it in overnight and in the morning hey presto! Then you’d need to save a little bit of that yoghurt to start the next batch. Obviously it only produced plain yogurt and OH kept moaning that you can buy that amount of yoghurt in Lidl for pennies so I’m not saving any money. I am hoping I can smuggle the parcel in without him noticing and if I’m successful I’m gonna pass it off as a Christmas present!

With the sachet included it is not a bad price, apart from the PP. I bought the maker locally for £10 (obviously no PP) but they only had one colour, my least favourite.

But I also stocked up on new jars at £3 each (as I always have 3 on the go). Most of my old-style jars have cracked so I am gradually changing to the new jars. And at least 2 old-style makers have also disinegrated too. The new jars will work in the new maker, but not vice-versa.

But I never buy sachets, I make it like you used to, and 1 teaspoon of the previous yogurt is enough to make a new one, about 6 gm.

I thought it would be a better alternative to the one I used to have for a number of reasons. The actual maker looks a lot less bulky and once it’s in action it doesn’t need to take up a plug point nor does it have to be on the kitchen work surface, I’m hoping that the inner container does take up too much fridge space but I can always decant the contents into smaller lock and locks if necessary. Of course I don’t need to have it constantly on the go as all you need to start again is another sachet. Another big advantage is all the yummy flavours available.

The new jars are not as large as the old, I don't think you can now make a litre / Kg in them.

Stratto or any other Easiyo users, can you tell me whether the sachets usually come with long use by dates as it would be handy if they did. One of the things that attracted me to this was the ability to make the yoghurt as an when I fancied it as opposed to having to keep it constantly on the go as I did with the old system I had that would require me to buy another shop bought yoghurt to start a batch off if I hadn't used it for a while. Yes, I know a small tub of yoghurt doesn't cost a huge amount, nor are they difficult to find in the shops but anything that'll keep OH from reminding me what a pointless waste of money and effort a yoghurt maker is the better!

Yes, they do. It’s printed on the back of the package.

I no longer bother buying probiotic yoghurts from the supermarket because I’ve always got a tub of Easyio on the go. I also make ice lollies from it in the summer, although that does kill off the live bacteria but they’re very refreshing, as well as eating it in its normal state in the main.

I didn’t want the TSV, but have ordered the caramelised set of 8 yoghurts because those ones are delicious. I occasionally get them direct from Easyio as well.

I have yet to try it but when I opened the package and looked at the instructions they seemed a little less straightforward than the demonstrations implied. Water needs to be at a certain temperature, there's a little thermometer in the box which I'm not sure how to use as it seems to have a sticky thing at the back. There was me thinking thinking you'd just add water straight from the tap. Then further down the instructions it mentions after the 12 hours or so that you put it in the fridge when it's set. No indication of how long this should take, so I went online to find that it simply says setting times are on the individual packets... I couldn't see them but I'll look again- If they're all different then that's a faff I could do without! Then I read that a simple shake of the ingredients isn't often enough to get rid of the lumps and that people have been taking to balloon whisks. I ordered the machine that comes with a vanilla sachet and if that's a disaster it will all be returned as I bought it as it looked simple and convenient ie a couple of steps and hey presto. I'll let you know how it went!

And when you shake it, it often leaks.

If you just use 1 teaspoon from the previous batch it just need a stir (but you have to use milk, not water). I use UHT skimmed.

I used to have a machine that you had to save a bit to start the next but I liked the idea of not having to do that and just using a fresh sachet. I bought it largely for the convenience as much as for the yoghurt if that makes sense. So if it doesn't produce anything that resembles yoghurt I shall definitely be returning it unless of course the postage is too high as quite honestly the boxful of sachets weighs a ton - I will be pretty miffed if it doesn't work out. What I did like is the compact size of the part that you store in the fridge as it's not gonna take up too much fridge space, but if it's full of lumpy liquid then no point. I know I must sound defeatist but when I see a demo that makes a process look so incredibly simple and foolproof, I do get rather cheesed off when tips and certain instructions aren't mentioned - I possibly wouldn't have bought it, but hey I am hoping for the best!
