I plan to use the Easiyo maker (which essentially is a container inside a flask of boiling water) via your method Netix, sounds just as easy really.
Just want to use up the packets first...
I made Mum some Greek Yoghurt today, didnt try it but she will report back on the taste.

Tish - the sweetened ones are quite sweet (children LOVE IT) and the unsweetened ones have less flavour (as in strawberry or apricot) if you are buying the packets, go for the sweet ones if thats your thing, or get the unsweetened PLAIN ones and then sweeten, not worth getting unsweetened flavoured ones IMO...

I will report back once i have tried it out with milk and a bit of starter...
