It is now several months that I use this yogurt maker. I have not missed a single time my yoghurt. It is really simple to use very functional because it is round and not very high so it does not take too much space in closets. In short this is the best value product to eat yogurt and very good for kids what fun making his yogurt and eat .... for us parents what's good to know what they eat, and in addition it is also fun because the homemade yoghurt is really excellent. It is true that Severin is not a well-known brand but this yogurt is very reliable. Here I hope this will help you in your search.
