How does it do frothing half and half and cream?

If you run it once it will do half and half if you want more just run it an extra time.

I've never tried it with half and half. It works well with 2% milk, but there's still plenty of liquid milk, too. It didn't work well with 1% milk.

I usually use 1 percent milk and it works great. I'm sure half & half or cream would froth even better. I love it!

Sorry to respond so late. I have not tried them yet. I have every confidence that it would do fine. Whole milk works great.

I have never tried it with those. You should use 2% for coffee, but the only way to know is to try it.

I do 1/2 and 1/2 all the time. Never did cream. As long as the product is fresh. If it isn't, you won't get a good froth.

Excellent my wife only uses H/H and the power is good. 95% foam with only a little residual liquid.

I have never tried to make a half batch. I have made batches less than a full batch and it worked fine. Breville only wants you to use 3-1/2 cups of liquid so a full batch is only a little over a quart anyway. Most of the recipes in the gelato/ice cream books are just about right for this machine - about 3-1/2 cups of liquid. I suspect most of the machines on the market are about the same.

It works both ways. You can push it part way down and hold it, or push it all the way down and it stays on. It only works on milk. You would wear it out very quickly if you us it on anything thicker, even whipping cream.

I have found that frothing 3oz of 2% milk will typically yield foam+milk of about 4.2 fl oz. You can actually get a bit more if you run it once to heat it, then turn it to cold and run it for another 60s. I have at occasionally seen 3oz turn into 6 oz of pure froth, but I have not figured out how to reproduce it (all factors were the same as far as I know).

If you use whole milk or half and half (or a combo of the two), it'll turn out creamy...

This frother is designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and other dairy alternatives and is not intended to whip, thicken or heat other foods such as oil, eggs, butter, heavy whipping cream, soups or gravies. It is also not designed to mix or melt a large quantity of dry ingredients such as cubed chocolate or ice cubes. You can use the "cold stir" setting to make froth for a cold beverage such as an Iced Coffee or an Iced Chocolate.

There are two different stirring attachments. The smaller one stirs. The larger one with the wire will make a nice froth.

The frother I have heats the milk/cream to an adequate temp. I don't know what the temp is but I am really happy with mine.

I'm sure that it can froth powdered milk, since I use it solely for powdered cocoa. I froth in a mug everynight.

Not exactly sure; but very little. It depends on whether you whip it hot or cold and amount of froth you want. You can use less with cold. A few table spoons I'd estimate. If this was helpful please click yes.

For how I use it, definitely. I just place a little creamer in the bottom of my cup, micro for 10 sec and froth away. An immersion would be way too big and powerful. This us a good frother!

By using the milk capsules. The foam / froth comes go the top from the super heated steaming process of the Milk Capsule.

Mine's been working well since I bought it, it's been through one set of batteries (that came with it) and I put a new set in last week. With the new batteries it is super powerful, I have whipped heavy cream with it, frothing milk only takes a few seconds if you are making 1-2 servings or so. I bought it about 3 months ago I think.

I've been using it for almond milk and half and half. It works better on half and half but still works ok with the almond milk. Works best when the milk is warmed up too.

I heat up the cream, which helps. Then I froth it for awhile before putting it into my coffee.

I don't know a couple of cups, but I don't comment more then a bit like a 1/4 cup at a time. You need to leave room for the frothing. It works really well and really fast if you just pour a bit at the bottom- not overloading it. (plus your arm won't hurt) My mistake was putting a lot....then the top froths quickly leaving the bottom to pour out. My recommendation is frothing a bit....it goes a long way anyways :)

It pretty much works as any frother would with different milk types. It works really well as a whole. I hope this helps. Enjoy it is a great machine.
