Can I use my own glass containers?

Yes. One of my jars arrived broken, and I substituted a "Wyler's bouillon" jar. It works very well. The cover is not interchangeable with the others, but that is not a problem. Plus, it is nice to have extra jars so available.

Hi, Claris. Yes, you can. I use these 7-cup round Pyrex container bowls with rubber lids ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MW2BIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). One of these fits perfectly without the lid (which you don't use inside the machine) inside this yogurt maker. I like Greek-style yogurt, so after I process it for 10 hours, I turn it into this EuroCuisine Greek yogurt strainer ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and put it into the 'fridge for about 25 hours. I use the same (washed & dried) Pyrex glass container to store the strained thick yogurt in (with it's red rubber lid) in my 'fridge. Since I use a lot of yogurt and also make cheeses (large extended family), I make two batches of the yogurt per day 5-6 days per week. I generally make my batches around 10:30am and 10:30pm. And if my aged cheeses and smoked cheeses all end up as well as the first ones have (just started yogurt- and cheese-making 2 months ago, so I'm awaiting some of the aged cheeses to age & ripen), I'm going to buy at least one other of these EuroCusine yogurt makers. I already bought a second strainer and more Pyrex bowls. I feed my husband and me, my three adult step-children, four grandchildren, and hubby's two ex-wives, two ex-sisters-in-law & a brother-in-law, and my own 2 sisters-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, plus various neighbors, all of the yogurt and cheese we can eat from working this one machine hard. My extended family all live in rural farm country, where I can easily trade my own baked goods and my cooking and - now - my own yogurt and cheese, for fresh cow's, sheep, and goat's milks. So I need to use the one large batch method, not little jars. Pyrex works great. HTH

Yes. However, you are limited on height and area. To make best use of this yogurt maker, I'd recommend using the supplied jars.

Hi Claris, yes, you can use your own glass containers. In fact, that is one of the things I like about this model. I make non-fat strained Greek yogurt, and use a 6-cup glass Pyrex container (avail. at Bed, Bath & Beyond and elsewhere) - it fits perfectly. Your containers just need to fit within the circumference of the maker, and can't be so tall that the container lid doesn't sit properly to maintain the temperature. I have had mine for about 3 years now and use it weekly. Good luck.

You may be able to as I seen various lids listed. I would try Corningwares own site too. Hope you find one.

Yes you can, the lid is a separate piece, it's not attached to the main box.

Yes and no. Glass will not damage in the freezer on its own. It will explode if there is too much liquid. Liquid expands with freezing. Leave ample headroom and you should be all right. I hope this is helpful.

You can definitely put your own stuff in however if you bought it here you would receive it sealed. You need to contact tervis.

In fact I would recommend you do the glass container because once you get to the bottom of the bag it gets messy to scoop out of the bag. I used my old BCAA container and that works just fine.

You can but not recommended I did but wish I had not It doesn't seal off as good now and leaks between the plastic outside and glass inside

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

I don't believe you are supposed to use glass bottles (as stated in the instructions). I generally pump into the plastic piece and then transfer it to a glass bottle to store.

I do not think a glass bottle would work. It may be too heavy for the system and unbalance it.

I'm not sure. Since it's glass it could be used fot borth, but there is a rubber seal inside the lid so I think the previous answer is right.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. You may want to put some gas sand at the bottom, and then pile up glass on top. Otherwise, you will have to use a lot of glass.

Yes, you are able to use your own loose coffee, but you will need to purchase a reusable 'cup' in order to do so.

Yes, one pair per container. They are not ment to be moved around too much or used and removed to use in other glasses. You can but the best storage is to leave them in a pair of glasses. I bought 4 pair to do all my sun glasses. And, don't trim them, says you can but no way you can get as good an edge as the factory edge. Put them towards the inside and all the way to the bottom edge of the frame. Work out all the bubbles and let them dry for a day. I have had some in a pair of glasses for years.

Yes...the glass drinking jars use standard lids. Be careful of the plastic glasses...the lids are not standard.

Yes, I imagine that would work. I usually use the sides for glasses in hard-case shells, but sometimes add a bottle of water instead.
