Making your own kefir at home is a breeze with this Kefirko Small Kefir Milk and Water Maker.

What’s in the box?

• 848ml glass jar – the concave design makes it comfortable to handle, while the raised measurements on the outside of the jar indicate one or two servings (300ml for one), so you only make the amount you need without any waste.
• Strainer lid – this unique lid has slots in two sizes (wider for milk kefir and smaller for water kefir) to make it easy to separate the kefir grains from your finished kefir. The special design of the lid means it’s easy to pour your kefir into a drinking glass to enjoy once it’s ready.
• Secure cover lid – screws into the strainer lid and enables the airflow needed in kefir-making, whilst preventing everything else, like impurities, from entering your kefir during fermentation. It also has an integrated measuring cup so you can accurately measure the grains without wasting any.
• Citrus juicer attachment – enables you to squeeze fruit juice directly into a second fermentation of your water kefir for extra flavour, so there’s no need to use a separate juicer.
• Scraper tool - keeps the grains from blocking the sieve so the kefir pours smoothly and quickly, even when thick.
• Swizzle stick – this practical utensil is handy for adding the grains and stirring the kefir.
• User guide – with easy-to-follow instructions to create your own kefir, information about the different milks you can use, how to care for your grains as well as how to grow seed sprouts in your jar.
• Recipe booklet – contains 30 truly delicious and tempting recipes, including a delectable Apple & Raspberry Flatcake, and various smoothies, breads and fizzy mocktails. There’s even a recipe for kefir horseradish sauce to complement a hearty roast beef dinner – the possibilities are endless with Kefir!

Why drink kefir?

There are many health benefits thought to be gained from drinking kefir – it contains easily digested proteins, it’s full of good bacteria that aid digestion, it boosts immunity and lowers blood pressure, and does so much more besides. And when you make it yourself, you know it's free from sweeteners, chemicals, additives or preservatives; unlike 'shop-bought' kefir you have complete control over its contents, it will continue to ferment inside the jar and produce increasing numbers of live cultures over time, and you can tailor it to your own taste. You can make as much or as little as you need and it’s great either consumed fresh or used as an ingredient in smoothies, shakes, ice cream, salads, cakes, cookies, pies, puddings and even bread… Your favourite meal can easily be more nutritious with kefir!

Easy to make

With only a small amount of preparation, you can enjoy fresh milk or water kefir every day thanks to this simple kit.

For milk kefir, simply measure the kefir grains in the measuring cup in the lid, put them in the glass jar and top up with milk. Then put the strainer lid on the jar and add the secure lid – making sure it’s a little loose to allow the air to circulate – and leave to ferment for 24 hours. It can then go in the fridge to stop the fermentation and chill before drinking. Once it’s ready, tighten the lid securely and shake, then pour through the strainer to remove the kefir and serve.

If you’re making water kefir, the process is the same but you use water and sugar instead of milk, and the process can take longer to ferment, usually between 24 and 48 hours.

And it doesn’t stop there, as the same grains can be used again in the next batch – once you’ve strained your kefir, just measure the grains again and add more liquid to begin your next delicious batch.

Versatile

This multi-faceted jar can be used for more than just kefir – it’s also suitable for sprouting seeds and pulses, and even for making your own kombucha (fermented tea) drink. The glass jar is leakproof and airtight when the lid is securely fastened, and the plastic lid and accessories are all BPA-free, so you can rest assured that your kefir (or Kombucha) is the healthiest and most nourishing it can be.

Easy to clean

All the parts of the Kefir-making kit can go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning when you’ve finished making your kefir.

About Kefirko

Based in Slovenia, the idea for Kefirko came to this company when the designers noticed how messy and complicated it is to make kefir at home, involving a lot of different equipment and taking a lot of time just to prepare it. With the help of crowd-funding and support from fellow fans of fermentation, they created an all-in-one product to make it easy for everyone to make their own delicious kefir at home and to incorporate fermented foods into their everyday life.

Please note: Kefir grains not included.
