10 Best Yoghurt Makers UK 2024 | Lakeland, VonChef and More

We've chosen another of Lakeland's yoghurt makers as our number one. This model allows you to make a batch of up to 1.8 litres inside two large capacity jars, which is ideal for families. Add to that an 8 hour fermenting time, and it's hard to complain. 

There are three different cooking modes for making plain yoghurt, greek yoghurt and soft cheese, offering you a little more flexibility. You even get a strainer and recipe book, what's not to love?

With its intuitive display, it's hard to go wrong when using this yoghurt maker. Simply set the temperature and the timer and wait for the wizardry to happen. The trough shape is far more convenient for regular worktop surfaces, although it is on the larger side, so you'll want to make sure you have enough space. 

It comes with eight glass jars, all of which are dishwasher safe, plus an auto shut off system that ensures you still won't ruin your batch, even if you miss the timer! We particularly like that the company throw in a two year warranty, showing that they believe in the quality of their product.

While many of the products in our ranking are strictly yoghurt makers, this one is a little different. Other than looking like a 6-Disc CD player from the 90s, it is, in fact, a Mini Multi-Cooker. This has the advantage of offering much more than just various diary-based dishes, and can whip up casseroles, curries and soups, to name a few. 

All these extra cooking functions fit into a neat appliance, which should be easier to fit into your kitchen. Plus, it has a decent capacity and wattage to ensure it runs efficiently. 

This yoghurt maker from VonChef is quick, convenient and straightforward, just set the timer and let it do its magic. The timer can be set up to 14 hours, which might seem like a long time, but it ensures that you will get super creamy yoghurt which is always yummy!

Furthermore, the jars provided are a little bit classier than most. They each fit around 180 ml of yoghurt inside and come with a screw top, so you can feel like you're eating at a trendy hipster cafe once you finally dig in. 

Lakeland's aptly named Digital Electrical Yoghurt Maker comes with seven jars for daily convenience, and yields a slightly above average 1.2 L - giving you a little extra to enjoy per batch!

Not only that, but the timer and temperature control will help you ensure it doesn't over ferment. With a respectable 20 W of power, the process takes around 8 hours, which is pretty common, so you can set it to run overnight for fresh yoghurt in the morning. 

This offering from SEB is ideal for those who want something a little more advanced. This yoghurt maker comes with the most cooking modes out of all the options in our ranking, making it a versatile option for producing many different dairy-based dishes from yoghurts to desserts. 

One of our favourite modes is the yoghurt express. This specific feature cuts preparation time by 50%. You don't get as many jars, and it's a little more expensive, but if you live a busy lifestyle, then this express yoghurt maker is a top choice. 

Severin is a big name in Germany, producing many different electrical home appliances. So, naturally, we had to include their yoghurt maker. It comes with seven high-quality glass jars that can be used to store your produce, as well as a transparent lid so you can see what's going on inside. 

The power is on the lower side, so you can expect it to take that little bit longer than others, with a cycle usually lasting between 9 - 12 hours. However, it does have an indicator light to remind you of how long it has been fermenting. 

Aiming to provide a solution for those wanting to cut down on their plastic consumption, this yoghurt maker is made from stainless steel with a glass jar inside. Not only will this help the planet, but the chances are it will be a lot more durable, and easier to clean too. 

The pack comes with a 42 page recipe book, showing you how to make 12 different yoghurts, including Greek yoghurt and vegan options, such as coconut and almond. The downside is that it's a little pricier than other non-electrical options, so you'll want to be committed to your yoghurt making endeavours to get the best value.

This non-electrical offering from MyYo has a bright design, when compared to many of the others on the list. It produces 1 L worth of yoghurt, and you even get two bags of yoghurt ferment to get you well on your way!

There are various organic ferments to choose from, including mild yoghurt, kefir and Bulgarian yoghurt. However, it can be difficult to maintain temperatures and track the cooking time. But, if that is something that you're willing to experiment with, then this could be for you!  

This yoghurt maker gives you 1 litre of yoghurt per cycle, meaning you'll get a few days worth at a time. You'll also get an instruction manual and recipe ideas included with your purchase, making it ideal for those who are taking their first steps into preparing this diary delight!

Additionally, we like the stylish black colourway, this gives it a contemporary look that's perfect for the modern home. However, it takes around 12 hours to ferment, which is a little longer than your average maker.
