Yes. Having said that, I deeply regret buying this machine. It leaks like crazy. It is impossible to keep clean. And the brew group, omc eremoved for cleaning, is almost impossible to re-install. I have a DeLonghi at home and have none of these problems.

Well yes and no. If you pull cup out before it puts the espresso in the mix you might be able to pull it off. You might even be able to avoid wasting coffee by tricking it to think you are using already ground coffee (not sure). However the milk is foamed milk not just warm milk so you get about 1/2 cup of milk and its not super hot.

Hi I do not understand the question. This machine does not make the milks very hot. But it is a very good machine for expresso and coffee, my husband loves it.

No, plug in the cocomotion add your milk or water and coco mix, put lid back on and hit on/start button on the front, it will heat(very hot) and mix. Wonderful machine.

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

No! You put cold milk and cocoa mix powder in the machine and turn it on. The cocomotion heats, mixes and froths in just a few minutes.

Yes, the milk frother ("aerrocino") may be the best part about this unit. You just pour cold milk in and choose from four different milk styles. Two types of foam, cold frothed milk or warm frothed milk. The milk frother is even available as a standalone unit for $99.00 and if I didn't get this machine as a gift I might just buy the aerrocino and use with any espresso machine.

As long as they are the single serve pods in the flow thru bags. You can even make tea, using different tea bags. For instant hot chocolate, just pour the mix into coffee cup, brew hot water and stir.

No, you have to brew your expresso first then froth your milk. If it was me I would keep looking for a better machine.

No, I think that would be a real mess. What I would recommend is this Breville product: http://www.brevilleusa.com/milk-cafe.htmlIt is made to specifically heat milk.

If you use Starbucks VIA coffee crystals, you can make mocha drinks with this hot chocolate maker. I do this regularly.

I haven't done that but I think it can handle hot chocolate. It may be hard to clean the piece that dispenses liquid so I will stick with just water

Yes, you can put hot cocoa in this. Just remember if it has to last more than 12 hours put real hot water in it first to warm up the metal. Then put your coffee or hot cocoa in.

I love this machine BUT I would not use milk in the hot shot. I believe its too hot and milk might plug up the system if not cleaned out immediately.

It has to be hot. Will not dissolve in cold milk. Don't buy this it's really not that great I love Cadbury chocolate but this tastes like weak Swiss miss.

Just hot chocolate. You put the milk in and the chocolate. Turn it on and it has a little mixer that spins and stirs it while it heats up the milk.

I have only used water since I use it in my classroom and water is cheaper! However, according to the recipe booklet that comes with the hot cocoa maker, you CAN use milk.

I have only used milk for hot chocolate. I use my espresso machine for lattes and mix 1/2 milk and 1/2 flavored coffee-mate.

I never thought about just putting my hot chocolate in the cup and using it that way. Thanks. I tried the k cup hot chocolate cups but like the Cold stone creamery packets much better and much cheaper. Thanks for the great idea.
