Will this machine be able to make kefir, the drinkable type yogurt?

Kefir grains are mesophilic, meaning kefir ferments at room temperature; trying to make it in a thermophilic yogurt maker that runs 30-40 degrees hotter than room temp will probably kill your culture. You only need live kefir grains, milk, and a jar (preferably glass) to make kefir.

Hello, Our yogurt make maintains a temperature of about 110-120 degrees. Kefir will do better in a temperture range of 70-80 degrees.

Yes it will. I bought this so I could make yogurt and the inside is rounded.

I don't think so. I bought it to use in making yogurt, bot it is so slow I use different ones I have. I guess one must pay more to get one that they are happy with.

I expect it would work, but you might need a liner (like a coffee filter) in the strainer to avoid having it pour through. When I put my yogurt in, it's already fairly thick.

This sprout lid is like a plastic screen which does not close but it's a great alternative to metal or cheesecloth. I'm not sure about using it for making kefir or yogurt but you could probably use this lid and cover it with cloth or plastic wrap.

Hello Debra, can you give us more detail about making kefir, the temperature of the yogurt maker seems to be 45 C or 110 F. Isn't it too warm for kefir? Pleas elet us know thanks.

I guess so, but I haven't tried one yet. Check out the recipe book that comes wit the machine.

I don't think so. The yogurt maker says Bonus Yogurt Maker on the box. They make a small yogurt maker, but it's ceramic.

Yes it can. There are specific instructions on the jar for using in a Keurig machine.

Yes. I have the YM100 model and it fits well. The only advice to have better yogurt production is to leave the middle of the top tier open (don't place a jar there) so that you get better air flow. Making a nearly double batch I set the timer to 7 hours. Not too tart. Also, consider draping with clean muslin kitchen/ bar towel to trap heat in. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. I just spoon the yogurt into an ice cube tray, freeze it, pop out the cubes of yogurt then into the machine. Works great.

I saw your post about the yogourmet yogurt maker. I also want one I can use with the SCD . Have you found a more suitable one yet?

I returned my Secura because it din't work at all , but I have had Ice cream machines in the past and in my experience anything which can make good ice-cream can also make good frozen yogurt.

No, not without tricking the 2.0. Follow the link to do so http://m.instructables.com/id/Keurig-20-Hack/

Yes. I have tried that method with that proofer. I am sold on both the proofer and that method. The proofer shortens the time needed to make creamy yogurt. That method makes a less tangy but flavorful yogurt, which I really like.

You would need to strain the yogurt with either cheesecloth or a Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker which I use.My review for this product has my recipe in it and you can strain that yogurt for fage or greek yogurt.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.
