I'm making hot cocoa w/milk & cream to serve at a house party and I was wondering if after I make it on the stove can I dispense it in the Hamilton?

Can't see any reason why not. Only question would be if you need to periodically stir the cocoa.....

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.

I don't like any hot chocolate mixed in water. So I would say no. Hope this helps .

No problem making cocoa, tea or other hot beverages as long as the mix/bag is in the cup prior to running the water through. I found this way better than using the filter within the machine to put cocoa/bag into.

I have only used these with coffee but I would definitely use them with other cocoa etc. I purchased two large cans of my favorite Tim Horton's coffee and I fill 12 reusable cups at a time. After emptying them out, I rinse them and put them into my dishwasher on the top shelf. So much money saved. Newest and best refillable cup yet.

Yes. You have to go under the "Special Beverages" menu to select the "Steam" option. When you've reached the desire temperature, you just hit the "ESC" button to stop it. If I remember correctly, the steam wand comes already attached to the machine.Or you can just connect the tube to the Cappucinnatore (coffee dispenser) and a container of milk. Your beverage and coffee will come out through the dispenser, however at a specific temperature.

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.

That shouldn't be a problem since it heats up in your body before it is distributed. I also add mine to my coffee in the morning and it acts the same as the days when I don't. Hope this helps.

Personally, I do not think it is, especially if you add milk or cream. I use my Keurig when I want hot coffee and use this when I want to make a pot to use for iced coffee.

This is a late answer, but worth mentioning http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe.htmlIt's fabulous. I also make AB's chocolate sauce by the quart for use in mocha. In fact, if you've never made hot cocoa using the syrup and milk frothed from an espresso maker wand, it's to die for.

I haven't made hot chocolate in it but make hot chai latte. The chai tea I use is liquid. I just put half chai and half milk, pour each one in the machine and turn it on. It will spin, warm and froth the chai for me. Great stuff!

I haven't tried it because I'm a coffee lover, but I don't know why it wouldn't work very well for tea. I'm not sure all of the cocoa would go through the filter in the basket for hot chocolate. It might.

Yes you can, I found an excellent tutorial here http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2013/05/how-to-make-heavenly-coconut-milk-whipped-cream-with-an-isi-dispenser.html

Sure. You boil water in it & then pour it on a package of nestle hot chocolate & you are good to go.

Darned if I know, never done that. Why would you want to do that? If it's just to re-use, reheat it on the stove or microwave. I don't think I'd try pouring coffee into water reservoir.

I personally use a tablespoon or 1/2 of a tablespoon. Depending on how much milk you using. Also remember cocoa is a bit bitter so using a lot will make the hot chocolate taste a bit bitter if the cocoa is not dissolve completely. And I don't like my hot chocolate too dark. So I basically use this cocoa, a pinch of salt to bring out that flavor! And sugar! Throw some marsmellows too!
