Can I use milk in this machine? For hot cocoa.

I wouldn't. My instinct is that the machine impossible to clean. You'd have old milk stuck in the machine forever.

NO, ONLY use water! You cannot submerge the unit in water to clean it. You'll need to use the water based hot coco mix, which is great & creamy with marshmellows. (Sorry for the delayed response; I was out of town.)

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.

My recommendation is ABSOLUTELY NOT. I use this to make tea on a regular basis and to keep it hot for days-I drink that much. Milk will undoubtedly boil over. It would maintain the temperature at too high a degree. Unless you are RIGHT BESIDE IT, dairy milk will not work. If the milk has a HIGH water content, like hot chocolate made with water, you may have a great shot. I would suggest making hot chocolate with the hot water that it creates and THEN add a portion of milk afterwards, but DO NOT LEAVE iT UNATTENDED!

It says to just add hot milk so if you are wondering if you just add water that should help. As others have said it does say it was processed at a factory where it could come into contact with dairy. If you wanted a just add water option you could just add powdered milk to this cocoa but it would take figuring out servings per container and how ounces of milk you needed per servings. Since that seems really like to much work for me I would stick to using milk and sticking it in the microwave where it tends to not boil over like stove top cooking can.

I've also never tried milk from milk powder, but yes, you can froth directly in the mug itself. Please note that in my review I discuss how this item stopped working approximately 2 weeks from receiving it and I would not recommend this product.

I use mine every day to froth 8 oz of milk. You can froth less. Over the 2 years I've used it, I found it's most efficient to scald the cold milk in the microwave (in my case, for 2 minutes) before putting it into the frothed. It's nice and hot when I use it to make my daily hot chocolate. If I were using it to make a latte or a cafe au'lait, I'd probably put about a 1/3 cup of cold milk in the frother and add it to the hot coffee.

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

Yes Sir, the old fashioned way... milk chocolate and heat and stir constantly. The CocoMotion does it for you. You can use ANY forms of cocoa Mix or Mocoa mixes, etc... add herseys syrup or any other flavors to the milk to tweak your cup the way you want. We LOVE ours. NO ONE makes Cocoa better than this cocomotion. I can make Swiss Miss Amazing just by adding a bit more choc syrup. IT's off the charts insane how amazing this is. FYI I am NOT a paid spokesman. This Product really is this flat out off the charts Awesome!!! Worth the price!

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.

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.

yes you can as long as the plastic bag in no way touches the warmer because it will melt the bag and the milk will leak out all in the bottom of your warmer. I learned this the hard way as when I went to get the bag it was empty. I cried I worked so hard to pump that milk and it was all wasted. As long as I put it in two baskets to make sure the plastic stayed off the warmer. Hope this helps!!!!!

I wouldn't but you could mix something thin like chocolate milk. We have only mixed little blocks, puff balls, paper pieces, etc. I don't want to get anything sweet up into the motor section of the mixer.

You certainly can. Most milk sold in stores is fine. I read that Walmart milk doesn't work as well. The best milk I got was from Price Chopper. I also purchased calcium chloride to add to my milk. Google it for more info.

You could make hot chocolate as it has heating element. Cleaning up would be difficult since it has cutting blades. ...Any recipe you have could be used

Yes. Pressing the "cappuccino" button twice provides steamed milk. The rotating dial on the milk container adjusts the amount of foam. The machine has a 4-stage temperature adjustment which sets the temperature of the milk. By the way, the machine will also provide plain hot water, as well.

Anna, I'm not trying to be a smart ass but you should READ THE MANUAL...It does make hot chocolate and be sure to run it once without any product after you are done to clean the machine.....All in the manual...

Umm...you don't need to put coffee or hot chocolate in it. That's what the hot water is for. Fill device with water, boil, then put coffee into mug and pour hot water into it. Same for hot chocolate (water based powder). For milk hot chocolate, you'll have to use the microwave or stove top.
