Best Cheese Makers of 2025

"Overall, I am very happy with this kit. The directions are clear and easy to follow, and I loved the fun recipes included. However, be aware that some ingredients might be a reach for those in the US. The rennet needs freezer storage, and the dried spices don’t last forever. I wouldn’t sit on the kit for too long."

"This kit has made it so easy to make cheese! I absolutely loved the mozzarella we made!"

"For our first attempt, I found this kit to be great. We’ve made goat cheese and mozzarella so far. It’s a learning process, but it’s easy. I rated it a 4 because it feels a bit pricey for what you get."

"I found this product to be well made and sturdy, despite being plastic. It’s easy to use and feels like a fine resort! Although I have a knee injury and haven’t used it yet, I can tell it’s a great way to make cheese. I would definitely purchase again!"

"I was on the lookout for a larger mold to create thicker rounds of cheese. This mold is nicely designed with a rounded bottom and a tight follower. It's a very nice mold with plenty of depth for my needs!"

"This tool is incredibly handy for making my own cheese. The size is just right—not too big—and the quality of the product is excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone!"

"I absolutely loved it! It helped me make my immunity shots in just minutes. It's so easy to use and clean."

"I purchased this cloth for juicing. It works great for filtering and is simple to handle. My only concern is that it threaded after washing as instructed."

"I bought these to replace my fine mesh strainer. After using them today, I was impressed that they strained even more oat fiber out than I expected!"

"I decided to try this cheesemaking kit since it had everything needed in one package. I just finished making 30-minute mozzarella and ricotta, and both turned out delicious! The process was easy but a bit tedious—lots of stirring. I found that using a digital meat probe for temperature worked better than the included thermometer. I can't understand why some reviewers had issues; I think they didn't follow the directions correctly. Overall, I'm definitely buying this again!"

"Ricki's kit provided all the essentials, including a thermometer. I made my first batch this morning, and it turned out great! A couple of tips: we used Jilbert's whole milk from Michigan and followed the instructions carefully. I learned that keeping the pot undisturbed for a bit longer resulted in a perfect batch of curds. My only mistake was not monitoring the temperature closely while microwaving. But in the end, the cheese was excellent! I'm excited to make caprese sandwiches tonight!"

"I received this cheesemaking kit as a gift and decided to try it for fun. Initially, I struggled and thought it was my fault, but after watching a few YouTube videos, it became clear that the instructions were poorly written. Once I got the hang of it, I made mozzarella that tasted amazing! I later tried making ricotta, and it also turned out great. While this kit is a fun gift, I realized I could buy the ingredients separately for a better value."

"I absolutely love this cheese maker! It works perfectly and the directions are easy to follow. Everything is easy to put together, and my cheese turned out perfect. I'm so happy with this product!"

"I was initially worried about the price, but after trying it, I'm amazed at the quality! It's really well designed and works fabulous for making cheeses. I even put a quart of kefir in there, and it handled it just fine. Plus, it's easy to clean and dishwasher safe!"

"This product makes culture growing and fridge storage a breeze. Whether it's yogurt, cheese, or fermenting, this is a quality product that I would recommend!"

"I love that these are large individual pieces that make it easier to have dedicated cloths for different foods. A quick wash with dish soap and drying is all they need! Each one has lasted a couple of months of routine use so far."

"For years, I relied on cheap, single-use cheesecloths for cooking, but finding them became difficult. I primarily use it for making broths and stocks. I stumbled upon these AMAZING reusable cheesecloths on Amazon. After using one for two batches of stock, the results were PERFECT! I even shared the other cloths with friends and family who were looking for quality cheesecloths. I highly recommend this product and anticipate using it for years to come."

"I found these cloths to be nice, lightweight, and large. They are easy to wash and reusable! I'm very pleased with the set of eight pieces and would definitely recommend them!"

"I find this rennet to be great! I had no trouble at all making mozzarella. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you only need a small amount per gallon of milk. Making mozzarella takes practice (the images are from my first attempt), but this rennet does exactly what it's supposed to do and separates the curd from the whey very effectively! I will definitely purchase it again."

"I am really pleased with the Liquid Rennet - Animal Rennet for Cheese Making. The quality is excellent, and it has consistently given me perfect results in my cheese-making endeavors. It works efficiently, allowing me to achieve great texture and flavor every time. The 2 oz. size is convenient and lasts a long time. I highly recommend it to both beginners and experienced cheese makers. It has truly been a fantastic addition to my kitchen!"

"Unfortunately, I had a bit of a struggle. I followed all the instructions after removing the label that covered them, and I watched numerous YouTube videos of others using rennet to make cheese, which all seemed straightforward. I waited 12 hours and didn't see anything happen. After doubling the amount, I waited another 6 hours and noticed a slight bit of coagulation, so I added double again. If it doesn’t work this time, I’ll just use vinegar or yeast instead, as I’m not interested in spending more money on a product that may not work and can’t be returned. I’m feeling quite disappointed."

"I find this item perfect for cheese making."

"As a beginner, I think it's a nice set, though the cheesecloth quality wasn't great."

"While I had hoped for a tighter woven cloth, I could still rinse and reuse it."

“I love the high quality materials used in this product. It feels durable and well-made.”

“The stylish design really stands out; I get compliments all the time!”

“These are incredibly comfortable; I can wear them all day without any issues.”

“I absolutely love this! I'm planning to order more because it’s so easy to clean and the size is perfect for 1lb of cheese. Plus, it’s a good price and functions great. It’s very sturdy; I can even put my 10lb weight on it and it does just fine.”

“This product is good for making cheese, though I noticed that sometimes the whey stays on top instead of draining through the mesh. Overall, it does what it’s intended to do.”

“I wanted to make some homemade cheese, and I found this mold to be easy to use and clean. The cheese turned out great! I haven’t used it enough yet to comment on durability, but so far, I’m pleased.”
