Kilner Kefir Set with Glass Jar - 500ml | Silicone Strainer Cap, Wooden Spoon, Stainless Steel Lid

I am very happy with this Kilner Kefir Set. It made preparing kefir much easier and more enjoyable compared to using regular jars. The wide mouth is very practical for adding grains and cleaning the jar, and the silicone lid is convenient and secure without being messy. Everything feels well built and designed for daily use. Since I started using it, the process has become simpler and more consistent. If you make kefir at home, this set is definitely worth it.

This 2 C kefir jar with silicone straining lid is perfect for 1-2 people. Solid jar and has cute wood spoon to measure correct amount of Kefir grains for the jar.

I’d been eyeing this Kilner kefir jar for a while but kept putting it off because it felt pricey for “just a jar with a filter.”

I’ve been making kefir for a long time using a regular Kilner jar, a fine mesh strainer, a spatula, and a mesh cloth as lid. It works, but the mesh strainer is a pain to wash — the tiny curds get stuck everywhere.

I finally grabbed this on Black Friday, and it really does make things simpler. Cleaning is faster, and I don’t have to scrub that stubborn strainer anymore.

A couple quick tips after using it:

1. Stir before you pour.
If you pour the kefir straight into the silicone filter, the curds can block it. A quick stir solves the problem.

2. The filter is a bit coarse.
Some of the new kefir grains slip through. I don’t mind since I just drink them, but if you like saving new grains to share, you won’t be able to keep as many.

Also, the wooden spoon that comes with it is honestly too short to be useful, so I don’t use it.

Overall, it’s not perfect, but I’m happy with my purchase.

Been using this Kefir making set for a few months now and its brilliant, I ferment mine in the fridge for a nice slow ferment and use the milk on my breakfast, the milk pours out well though the silicone filter lid which has a corse filter and a fine filter these do a great job at keeping the grains in the jar when decanting the milk (or water if you prefer water kefir) the Kilner jar is good quality glass as you would expect and the stainless steal lid keeps nice and clean, the lid does need sort of burping when putting it on as its such a good fit that it can trap air as your putting it on but i just lift the silicone filter a bit and this burps it out, This I think is a good thing because if it fell over you have a chance of not spilling milk all over the place.
Great jars easy to clean and a nice little set that I have used for a few months now and will continue to do so. The jar size is 500ml with a nice air gap on the top.

The strainer in the lid is a great feature. Good value for the money.
