 This is the best sprouter and I own them allDec 20, 2006
By Marilyn Kefirlady
"kefirlady.com"
By far and away this is the best all around sprouter. I start almost all* of my seeds in this sprouter, even if they will eventually be growing straight up like wheat grass and alfalfa sprouts. Due to the drainage holes, I can use a garden nozzle to force water through the soaked seeds to give them a thorough rinsing. You cannot do this with jars. I can start 1 - 2 cup of alfalfa seeds or any seeds that will eventually grow to the green stage and let them sprout a couple days before I transfer to individual pint sprouting containers. Garbanzos or other seeds that tend to get moldy with other methods can be sprouted with success. Again this is because you can force water through for a thorough rinse.
If you only want a quart of alfalfa sprouts, you better only use a teaspoon of seeds. With practice you can remove the hulls, too, for beautiful full grown sprouts.
*Only gelatinous seeds like chia and cress and very tiny seeds like teff require a different sprouting method.

This is Not Your Grandmother's SprouterApr 20, 2009
By Cookbookaddict
This sprouter is perfectly named - "Easy". Last time I sprouted - which was about 40 years ago - I used a mason jar and that was not easy. What makes this so easy I think is the great built-in drainage system that prevents the seeds from sitting in excess water and spoiling. Although it is made of plastic, the manufacturer indicates on its website that it is food grade plastic and safe to use. So far I have sprouted broccoli and mixed legumes. The sprouts were beautiful and delicious and it took very little attention. So much fresher, crisper and much less expensive than the sprouts that I can get at the store. The instructions that come with the sprouter are mimimal (except for the broccoli sprout instructions) but I really think you will find them to be all that you need and if not, the internet has a wealth of sprouting information. The sprouting container is also the perfect container to store sprouts in the refrigerator, keeping them fresh and crisp, and still growing actually. So I would recommend buying at least two containers if you want to always have ready to eat sprouts. Another great thing about this sprouter which may not be apparent is that it is a closed container. I have a cat who loves sprouts, and while I am happy to share with him, I am not sure he is happy to share with me. And finally, the service from SproutHouse is excellent!

So simple, even for a newbie like me!Jan 25, 2009
By Stephanie Adams
Before ordering this sprouter, I spent a lot of time reading the Sprout People website, which was full of great instructions and thoroughly explained how to use the Easy Sprout.
When my order arrived, I found the included directions were a little confusing and contradictory, but I already had an idea of how everything worked from the website. Since my first attempt would be a dill salad mix, I followed the Easy Sprout's instructions for salad mixes - the difference being that you soak the salad sprouts for 5 minutes or so instead of just rinsing twice a day.
Basically, I soak 1/4 cup of seeds in the sprouter overnight, then drain and rinse in the morning. I swing the container around to really get out the excess moisture. At night, I soak or rinse, then drain again. Repeat in the morning and before bed. After 4-5 days, the quart-sized container is FULL of sprouts (despite all my test-snacking throughout the week), and I set it a few feet from a sunny window for a day to get a little greener. Maybe a 5 minute commitment every day. I haven't had any problem with sogginess and almost all the seeds germinate.
Other than the hemp bag I bought at the same time, I haven't tried any other sprouters. I don't think I'd need to, though, because this one requires so little effort, very little counter space, and produces such lovely results. I'm just now enjoying my third batch of salad sprouts, and it's still fun to grow and crunch my little plantlets. My bf kinda thinks I've lost it, but he agrees it's neat to have yummy fresh vegetables in January... We especially enjoyed the pea sprouts I grew in the hemp bag (I would happily use a 2nd Easy Sprout if I had one - it's less maintenance than the bag).
Not a bad deal, considering it doesn't cost much more than a few packages of soggy sprouts from the store... and it's much more fun.

Works great except in hot humid conditionsJan 21, 2010
By B. Davis
"The Happy Hermit"
UPDATE - All of a sudden my broccoli seeds failed to sprout in this device. At first I thought I had done something wrong but then a second batch failed so I got out my old small square stacking sprouter and had success. I realized then that what had happened was warm weather. It was the month or so when it's not quite hot enough to turn the AC on, my windows were open and the air was warm and humid. So glad I had not given away my old stacking sprouter since it got me through that time. Now that the AC is on the Easy Sprouter is working again.
Original Review: For about a year I'd been using a two tier plastic sprouter, about five inches square with a base, two clear trays, and a lid. It worked but I wanted to try this Easy Sprout and I am so glad I did. It is incredibly simple and works perfectly. I use mine for broccoli (I buy organic seeds from Sprout House) and I find I do not need the small seed insert that comes in the kit. The included instructions are ridiculous and if you go by them you will think it's too much trouble to make your own sprouts. All I do is put the inner cup inside the outer cup, pour 1/4 cup of seeds in, fill with water, and let soak overnight. Next morning I lift the inner cup (which has a perforated bottom) out and pour out the soak water, replace inner cup (with soaked seeds in it), fill with water and let the seeds rinse, drain again, I do that twice at least. From then on it's just a matter of rinsing and draining twice a day. This sprouter makes twice as many sprouts per batch compared to the two tiered square sprouter. You can use the Easy Sprouter to store your sprouts in the 'fridge but I have another system for storing so I don't. I have a colander that fits inside an old Tupperware iceburg lettuce keeper. I put my drained and somewhat air dried sprouts in the colander inside the lettuce keeper and put the lid on. That way my sprouts have room to breath and are up in the colander with air circlulating around, yet still covered. Works great. Update - Two small changes would make this sprouter even better - give it some color somewhere because it's nearly invisible and being tall you can easy knock it over not realizing it's sitting there. The other improvement would be to make the little ledges that hold the inner container up in the high position easier to use. They are very slight and slanty so it takes some effort to get the stays of the inner container to rest on them.

Works brilliantlySep 22, 2009
By Michael A. Duvernois
Yeah, it's somewhat expensive for a few pieces of plastic, but the pieces of plastic make sprouts easy. A Ball canning jar is cheaper, but I had poor luck with it. Also tried the super thin plastic stacking trays. They didn't work either. This one works very well. Get a few pounds of sprouting seeds and one or two of these sprouters and I think that you'll be happy. I am.
