Why does this model I can't get to make milk hot

I think the machine can only heat up the soy milk up to 80 degree C to prevent the over flow of the soy milk fluid with bubbles, so I have to pour it into another sauce pan to cook until it is fully boiled for about 5 minutes. While I am heating up the soymilk with low heat, I can not put a lid over the sauce pan because the soy milk with a lot of bubbles will push it open and over flow onto the heater.

It should be very hot after the soy milk is done. Maybe you selected the "juice" option which it will only cuts the fruit but not heating up the juice. Or your machine is not working properly. You should contact the seller. Their customer service will be able to help you.

Use very cold milk and make sure the frother machine is not warm to the touch. Also try 2% or 1% milk.

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

More than likely your milk is not hot and cools off the espresso. I have had that problem too. You need to keep steaming for almost 2 mins to get it hot. Also if you turn on the steamer just before you brew it will be hotter.

Yes, I have. It works just fine. I warmed the milk because you can either froth milk using cold OR hot, depending on your preference. I LOVE this frother!!

At first I thought the milk was luke warm (never temped it). Then I found a solution. Simply heat your coffee cup! Fill your coffee cup with very hot water and let it sit while you prepare your drink. Then dump the water out of your cup before adding espresso and milk. Piping hot latte every time!

Storm Weaver, if you're still monitoring this discussion, do you heat the milk first? I can get good raw milk, but if I have to pasteurize it I don't think it's worth the extra money. Everything I've read says this must be done.

The frother has a temp gauge so it won't froth if the milk is already warm.

Milk has lactose (milk sugar) in it which burns if you get it too hot - this is why milk burns onto the bottom of a pan when heating on the stove unless you stir it continuously. That heating element gets very hot and thus burns the milk. I suppose it might work without burning if you continuously stirred the milk while heating.

I heat the milk to 180 then let it cool to 110 before putting in the starter. I know nothing about unpasteurized milk.

I tried preheating my soy milk as well. Just get weak bubbles at the top. Seems to only give stiff froth with real milk for me.

Not sure but I think it is steam. I cannot get the milk to foam, it just heats up, can you help with this problem?

Never had that issue. Clean it well, clean your water basin well.... Run the Wand in water until the water basically boils. Then try your milk.

Either the coffee is already cooled offm or you haven't got the milk hot enough. Quick test if milk is hot enough is to lightly touch the side of the stesming cup if it is too hot to touch it's hot enough.

I don't know. Hated this machine -- milk never got hot -- and bought a less expensive one that I love.

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.

Does your milk get hot or does nothing at all happen to your milk? I find that certain milks do not froth well so while I get hot milk I do not get frothy milk. Have you switched milks?
