cheaper elsewhere
All varieties of Easiyo that I've tried are wonderful. However, Amazon tripled their price last year. Go to the easiyo site to find other US providers.

Love it!
I love this yogurt. I am used to eating Fage low fat yogurt so the change in taste takes a bit of getting used to. To me, the taste is similar, perhaps this is slightly more sour or tart. But I put in a banana and sometimes a bit of agave sweetener. I know it isn't cheaper than buying the Fage brand but I enjoy having the home made version. It feels healthier although I am not sure if it actually is. I do think there are more live cultures in this brand (not sure of that either) and I need all I can get as I am lactose intolerant and the cultures really help in that regard.

Did not like the flavor and it is expensive!
We like 3 greek god's greek yogurt.
I bought the whole system and it made yogurt ok if you use their mixes. We did not like the taste and the price was expencive for the yogurt mixes. I tried making my own yogurt using the regular way and it did not set up so I think if you are going to use all the easyyo products you would be ok, if you want the expence.

terrific product & easy to make
this was my first adventure into homemade yogurt making & as I was researching & reviewing other product lines I was not sure I wanted to attempt it - but with this product it is so simple - and it tastes great - and they offer a wide variety of flavors - this low fat greek base is one of my favorites - actually I originally ordered it with the thought of making my own Tsaziki sauce (I think I might have mispelled that, sorry - it's the white sauce they serve w/fallafels - yum) anyways...I keep ordering this base & buying the cucumbers that go in the recipe but every time I make a batch of this greek yogurt I eat it before I can get around to making the sauce :-) oh well, one of these days I will succeed in making the recipe but until then I am enjoying this yogurt as is!

Great starter
I have tried many starters and this one is my favorite by far! It makes a quart of nice thick Greek-style yogurt with less fat than the regular version of this starter. My batches are very tart at first but once left in the fridge overnight, they mellow out and have a good taste. I can easily eat this plain.

I don't have the Easiyo maker, I actually have the Yogourmet. I just mix this packet with a quart of cold water, add water to the first fill line in the chamber, and incubate for about 8 hours. It works great and I don't have to buy milk and fool with heating then cooling it in the water bath, or add extra powdered milk or gelatin (gross) to get a good thick yogurt. This comes out thick already, every time.

A quart of Fage is $8 at local stores, I think this tastes even better and it's half the price.
