Does it make hot chocolate and how would you do that?

Yes - the booklet will tell you to just add chocolate chips to your milk while frothing. My daughter has used powdered mixes. Personally, I like mine hotter, but that's according to your taste. Having answered the question you asked, I will share the only review I've ever done on Amazon. Basically, I can't recommend this because of its poor quality. I have not yet found another brand at a price I will pay. Good luck to you. I want to love this machine. Makes good froth at a good temperature. However, the quality is just horrible. The machine just stops working. Push the button and nothing. We exchanged our first one after only three weeks. Our second one has lasted six months but is now kaput. Returns are expensive; the consumer has to pay for shipping the defective one to Capresso. Outrageous! We will not replace this, but will look at other brands.

Yes it can. You will heat/froth milk and add to your hot chocolate mix & then top hot coco with the frothed/foam head.

yes. There are two discs that come with the machine, one for foam and one for mixing. You would use the mixing disc, and put all the ingredients in, and turn it on.

I haven't tried that feature yet but the instructions say it can make hot chocolate.

Yes it will. I have used it this way. I also heated water to make hot chocolate and it was too hot to drink at first.

If I fill this to the full mark, I put 7 scoops of hot chocolate mix which can be store-bought or homemade. You can also mix other drinks too. I ordered mine just before Christmas & am 100% pleased with it. If extra cocoa sits in the pot for an extended time, I turn off the mixing option but turn it back on just before I pour another cup. If the mixer runs too long, it seems to over-work the motor.

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

Making hot chocolate with the Hot Shot will work best if you use a mix (such as Swiss Miss), because you would add hot water from the Hot Shot to the mix in your cup. You should not heat milk in the Hot Shot, just water.

Yes, I did! You can make good dark chocolate with it using roughly 1/3 cocoa butter, 1/3 cocoa powder, and 1/3 powdered sugar or powdered honey. Melt the cocoa butter in a glass container in the microwave in 30 second increments. Don't let it simmer. If you want mint chocolate, add in a little peppermint oil (a little goes a long way). Also, since it is raw, you either have to temper it (heat and cool repeatedly) to get it shelf stable, or keep it refrigerated.

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

It keeps water just below boiling, so it is probably too hot for hot chocolate.Also, the residue on the sides would bake on, and despite being stainless steel, cleanup afterwards would be very difficult since you can't immerse this (or any other single piece electric urn that I know of.)

you add water with the chocolate mix,.. I use milk,. regular or 2%. Its a great little machine. Its mixes and heats the content to a perfect temperature automatically and shuts off.

I no longer have my book, but I can tell you how I make it. The clear plastic part of the pot has graded cup marks. I use milk (most of the time skim, but I assume the creamier the better) and pour it into the pot based on how many cups I want to make. If I am using packets of hot cocoa I just put in one packet for every cup I am making. Plug it in, and push the button on the front. It will automatically stop when it is ready and warm....maybe 3-5 minutes. I think it comes out just perfect, but for my kids, I put a little cold milk in the mug before I pour the hot chocolate in....cools it down for them. An important thing for cleaning......when you clean, the center spinner is a magnet and milk gets trapped underneath. Just put your hand in and pull out the magnetic spinner, or you will have a sour smell/taste the next time you use it! Good luck.....if I can help you out any further, let me know......this has to be one of my favorite appliances!!!

Yes, it can. I have used mine to heat milk for making hot chocolates. I don't know the exact temperature it produces, but it has been fine for us.

Yes, you can either use it to heat the hot water or mix the hot chocolate the you use with water and serve it from the pot.

Yes, it can be used to heat milk. Actually is does a great job of heating milk for making hot chocolate -- so just don't add the cocoa.

Sorry this is late but tes it will make hot chocolate just don't put espresso in it. Use the milk frother for the milk then put the chocolate in the bottom. Pour steamed milk and a little foam on top.

Put liquid in, either milk or water to fill line. Add in hot cocoa & other ingredients to your liking. Put the lid on in the closed position, push the on button & it will mix itself. It'll turn off on it's own when it's been heated up to the programmed temperature. Pretty simple! Good luck! I've had mine forever, also grew up with one & now my family & I absolutely love it!! ❤

I use 12oz of hot milk, 3T of cocoa, 2T white sugar, a dash of salt, and a touch of vanilla. But I like DARK hot chocolate, so this will definitely not be everyone's taste!

Pour your milk in to the fill line. Add 8 tablespoons of your choice of any hot chocolate mix. Turn on. My girls and I love this hot chocolate maker. ENJOY
