5 Best Yogurt Makers on Shopee PH 2026

Make Fresh, Probiotic-Rich Yogurt at Home — Budget to Multi-Function Picks

By The FitGeek | July 2026

Store-bought yogurt in the Philippines can get pricey fast, especially the "healthy" probiotic tubs that disappear from the fridge in two days. A home yogurt maker solves that: dump in milk and a starter culture, let it ferment overnight, and you've got a week's worth of fresh yogurt for a fraction of the cost — with zero added sugar or preservatives unless you want them. Whether you're into fitness and tracking macros, or just tired of paying ₱150 for a small tub of Greek yogurt, these five picks from Shopee PH cover automatic electric machines down to a no-electricity manual strainer for anyone who wants to keep things simple.

Best OverallIntelligent Auto

1. Electric Yogurt Maker Multifunctional 1.6L

₱1,247

This 1.6L unit uses an intelligent constant-temperature system that automatically holds the ideal fermentation temperature for the entire cycle, so there's no need to babysit the machine or guess when it's done. Its single large container (rather than individual jars) makes it easy to batch-ferment enough yogurt for a full week and portion it out afterward.

Capacity	1.6L (single container)
Temperature Control	Intelligent automatic constant temp
Fermentation Time	Approx. 8–12 hours
Material	BPA-free plastic body, food-grade inner container
Power	220V

Pros

• Large single-batch capacity, good for families
• Fully automatic — no manual temperature monitoring
• Simple one-button operation

Cons

• No individual jars for portioning or gifting
• Bulkier footprint than multi-jar models

Tip: Use fresh full-cream milk and a spoonful of plain yogurt (or a powdered starter culture) for the creamiest results — UHT milk works fine, but fresh milk tends to set thicker.

Best Multi-Function

2. 220V 1.5L Full Automatic Yogurt Maker / Rice Wine Machine (7 Glass Jars)

₱780

This dual-purpose unit doubles as a rice wine (tapuy/fermented rice) maker, which makes it a fun pick if your household likes experimenting beyond plain yogurt. The seven individual glass jars mean everyone gets their own portion, and cleanup is just a quick rinse per jar instead of scrubbing one large container.

Capacity	7 x glass jars (individual portions)
Functions	Yogurt maker + rice wine (fermentation) machine
Material	Glass jars, stainless steel/plastic housing
Power	220V

Pros

• Individual glass jars for portion control
• Doubles as a rice wine fermenter
• Easy to clean — dishwasher-safe jars

Cons

• Smaller per-jar volume than single-container models
• Manual temperature/time settings on some batches

Good to know: If you only plan to make yogurt and never rice wine, a dedicated yogurt-only model may ferment slightly more consistently — but the price difference usually isn't worth it for casual users.

Best for Families

3. SOKANY 8-Cup Electric Yogurt Maker 1400ml

₱1,099

SOKANY is a familiar name on Shopee PH for compact kitchen appliances, and this 8-cup yogurt maker leans into that reputation with a straightforward temperature-controlled design. The stainless steel container is sturdy enough for daily use, and with 8 cups on tap it's one of the higher-capacity individual-jar options on this list.

Capacity	1400ml total, 8 individual cups
Temperature Control	Yes, adjustable
Material	Stainless steel container, plastic housing
Power	220V

Pros

• Highest cup count on this list — great for larger families
• Sturdy stainless steel fermentation container
• Recognizable, established small-appliance brand on Shopee PH

Cons

• Slightly bulkier than single-container models
• Individual cups are smaller than standalone glass jar sets

Tip: Sterilize the cups with hot water before each batch — leftover bacteria from previous ferments can throw off the taste and texture of your next batch.

Best Budget

4. Automatic Yogurt Maker 1.5L, 7 Glass Jars

₱518

For anyone just testing the waters with homemade yogurt before committing to a pricier unit, this Judy Home-sold 7-jar set covers the basics without much fuss. It won't have all the bells and whistles of the pricier picks on this list, but it gets the core job done — consistent, gentle heat for reliable fermentation.

Capacity	7 x glass jars, 1.5L total
Temperature Control	Fixed/preset (no digital display)
Material	Glass jars, plastic housing
Power	220V

Pros

• Most affordable electric option on this list
• Individual glass jars included
• Simple, no-fuss operation — good for beginners

Cons

• No adjustable temperature or timer display
• Build quality is basic compared to pricier models

Good to know: Budget yogurt makers like this one typically use a fixed low-wattage heating element, so fermentation time may run slightly longer (10–14 hours) compared to models with active temperature control.

Best Manual/No-Electricity Pick

5. NO.2 Greek Yogurt Maker 1.3L/2L Reusable Fine Mesh Strainer

From ₱318

Not everyone needs (or has counter space for) a full electric machine. This strainer-and-lid set is built for turning regular homemade or store-bought yogurt into thick, protein-dense Greek-style yogurt by draining off the whey — no electricity required. It's also handy for making fresh cheese (like a simple homemade paneer or labneh) using the same straining principle.

Capacity	1.3L / 2L options
Function	Whey-straining for Greek yogurt / soft cheese
Material	Reusable fine mesh strainer with lid
Power	None — fully manual

Pros

• Most affordable pick on this list by far
• No electricity, no fermentation machine needed
• Doubles as a soft cheese maker

Cons

• Does not ferment yogurt — only strains/thickens it
• Requires store-bought or separately-fermented yogurt as a starting point

Tip: Pair this with Item 4 or another electric maker — ferment your yogurt first, then run it through this strainer for thick, Greek-style texture.

🤔 How to Choose a Yogurt Maker

• Single container vs. individual jars: A single large container is simpler and gives you more yogurt per batch, while individual jars make portioning, storing, and cleaning easier — pick jars if you want grab-and-go servings.
• Automatic vs. manual temperature control: Automatic constant-temperature models are more forgiving and consistent, especially for beginners, while fixed-heat budget models require a bit more trial and error.
• Capacity for your household: A solo user or couple can get by with a compact 1L–1.5L unit, but families of four or more will want an 8-cup or 1.6L+ model to avoid running out mid-week.
• Multi-function value: If you're curious about fermenting other foods (like rice wine or natto), a multi-function unit adds versatility for a similar price to a yogurt-only model.
• Do you need a maker at all? If you already make or buy plain yogurt and just want it thicker, a manual strainer like Item 5 is a far cheaper way to get Greek-style texture.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Most electric yogurt makers need 8–14 hours of fermentation time, depending on the model and your desired tanginess. Many people start a batch before bed and have fresh yogurt ready by morning.

Not necessarily. You can save a couple of tablespoons from your last homemade batch to start the next one, though using a fresh starter culture or plain store-bought yogurt every few batches helps keep the culture strong and the taste consistent.

Fresh full-cream milk, UHT milk, and even plant-based milks (with the right starter) can work, though fresh full-cream milk generally produces the thickest, creamiest results. Low-fat milk will still ferment but tends to set thinner.

Runny yogurt is usually caused by fermenting at too low a temperature, using milk that's too diluted, or not fermenting long enough. If it's still too thin after adjusting those factors, straining it through a mesh strainer (like Item 5 on this list) will thicken it up.

Yes, as long as your equipment and jars are properly sanitized before each batch and the yogurt is refrigerated promptly after fermentation. Discard any batch with an off smell, unusual color, or mold, and always use pasteurized milk as your base.

🏆 Final Thoughts

For most Filipino households, the Electric Yogurt Maker Multifunctional 1.6L is the easiest all-around pick thanks to its hands-off automatic temperature control and generous single-batch capacity. Budget-conscious first-timers will do fine with the Judy Home 1.5L 7-jar set, while anyone who just wants thicker, Greek-style yogurt without buying a full machine should grab the NO.2 mesh strainer instead. Whichever you choose, homemade yogurt is one of the easiest ways to cut grocery costs while keeping a healthy, high-protein snack on hand.
