I was just looking to buy something similar, because I moved and my new kitchen is too cold for anything to ferment properly in a timely fashion. I am trying to also make filmjolk, which needs room temperature, and would also like to make Quark, which needs a different temperature entirely that yogurt or kefir.
I have two yogurt makers that are too hot, so currently trying to figure out a way to use them without anything actually touching the too warm base.
​
Basically, I'd buy this if:
I would not buy it if it was set on one temp setting and only for kefir. Multi-use, as others stated, is key here, as that would allow me to justify getting yet another appliance by donating my current yoghurt makers.
​
I have this in my amazon shopping cart, this should give you some great ideas: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MEEH0SE/ I love the collapsible design , the size, the fact that you can add shelves and the temp settings. I dislike the price and that it isn't very pretty to look at. Yours is awesome because it would also keep things cool in the summer time, though I find I have less of a need for that. Consistent heat is more what I personally need.
I use one of these.
Before everyone tells me what a waste of money this is, understand that I had made quite a few batches of kefir before with just a mason jar, coffee filter, rubber band and strainer and let me tell you, this makes it a million times better and easier!
I use the stem and cap that come with the model from this site in a quart sized wide mouth mason jar and just making a half quart works perfectly for me. The whole stem-cage-cap assembly cleans easily in the dishwasher and holds your grains up in the milk, making it ferment more evenly while completely removing the need to strain out grains from each batch.
Every day at the same time, I just take the cap-stem-cage assembly off of one jar and put it on another mason jar half filled with fresh milk, put the fermented batch in the refrigerator or out for a second fermentation, and enjoy!
Ah I don’t have any links saved sorry. Other forums I found from just googling around and seeing threads of people w similar issues.

Here are the grains I have. I love them. Both times I’ve bought them, the first few weeks the kefir is a bit thin, but eventually the kefir is thick and perfect.
What kind of milk are you using? Does it smell ok? Where are your grains from?
I just got some from this guy. Not sure if he ships to the UK or not, but the grains (live) revived very easily and they are potent!
According to him, he's successfully revived grains even after 3 weeks in the post, so assuming they're packaged right they should travel just fine.
The easiest thing to do is to buy some grains off Amazon. I got mine from THIS SELLER. Others here have purchased from this particular seller as well. Their grains are inexpensive, and they have a ton of great reviews.
I was thinking about how I was able to get some things when I was in Germany, and the German Amazon was priceless! So here's a few links I've found on the Japanese Amazon I've found for you:
I've found some milk kefir grains here:
Water kefir, but not sure if they're grains here
I've used this brand before, and it worked rather well. The water kefir grains are just dehydrated and takes some love to get into fighting shape, here
Combined with a few days of a no-carb diet, boron pills will kill any candida inside of you, but it cant change the environment you currently have that is encouraging it.
You must stop eating poorly and change to a no-carb / low carb diet. No alcohol. To change your internal microbiome, try S. boulardii, it works for some people. Also, get your vitamins checked. Low vitamins can create an environment where good bacteria don't thrive.
Killing the candida inside you is easy, creating an environment where good bacteria dominate so it wont come back is extremely difficult.

I don't know if you already knew this, but you can just buy them online. This one has exceptionally good reviews.
Second on the air tight lid. These are great if you’re using glass jars: https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Regular-Mouth-Storage-Caps/dp/B0000BYC4B
Norpro Stainless Steel Wide Mouth Funnel with Silicone Strainer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036B9KF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wy3ZDb6QT173K
Easiest by far to clean, fits on Mason jar, which is what I use. You do have to stir inside the funnel.
> Where do kefir grains come from
No one knows for sure. (Just like no one can say for sure where humans came from.)
> where do you buy them?
I bought mine from this seller on Amazon.
My water kefir grains (just purchased a few weeks ago) came from Florida Sun Kefir, and they are now on their third batch and have produced some wonderful kefir so far. Not sure if you're looking to do milk or water, I think they only do water though. I got mine here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051WV5K6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I think everyone answered the too-many grains, etc, here pretty well.
As for straining... I got tired really quick with straining grains. So I stuck them in one of these and just pull it out and put it into the next batch.
https://www.amazon.com/HIC-Infuser-Stainless-6-Inches-1-5-Inches/dp/B000I1ZZ24
Its worked great for months and months. Takes me about a minute to process my kefir on a good day. I dump it into the next mason jar, transfer this over, dump in milk, stir with it.
1 - There's really no need to rinse. Swishing the cage and grains around in the milk of a new batch should be sufficient.
2 - If it works for you, there's nothing wrong with it. I like it to ferment 24 hours, that way I only have to take care of it once a day, and so I don't overproduce and waste milk. Simply reduce the amount of grains you're using for it to take longer.
3 - I'm also on a ketogenic diet. There's really no way of knowing the carbohydrate content of homemade kefir, so I calculate it the same as commercially-produced kefir, about 6g carbs per 1/2 cup (118 ml).
Once I see pockets of whey in the curd (before it becomes fully separated), I remove the grains and let it continue to ferment (secondary fermentation) another 24 hours. At that point it's usually separated, so I just stir it together and refrigerate it. I figure this way I'm reducing the carb content as much as possible. I also only drink 1/2 a cup of kefir a day (1/4 cup morning and night)... I make it in a 2 oz instant espresso jar.
Im waiting for my first set of kefir grains (in the US). I went with amazon seller "Mr and Mrs Kefir"
