Can anyone tell me if you can use whole milk vs 2 %? Thank you in advance!

I say "yes". Cow's milk (any fat percentage), almond milk, coconut milk--they've all worked for me.

I use 1% milk since I am on a diet. Whole milk taste the best if you are not on a diet. :=)

I have gotten all of these to froth. Whole Milk / 2% Milk / Plain Soy Milk. Depending on what you use, the amount of time it takes for frothing could easily triple. Also, each of these has a different taste. As such, you will have to experiment to see which you prefer.

I use my own recipe, which is 4 cups of whole milk, 1/3 cup instant milk and 2 tablespoons of organic yogurt . I warm up the milk so its just warm add the other two ingredients and pour it into a container. Hope this helps you

I use milk and I just mix to the consistency that I want a bit thinner at first as it will thicken , Hope this helped

I use a quarter teaspoon per quart of milk. You will needs a strainer to seperate the whey to thicken the yogurt.

I'd be interested in the answer to this question. I use a scant 1/2 cup of powdered milk. Easy and cheap when you buy it from the bulk bins at Whole Food or Rainbow (San Francisco). It is very expensive in regular grocery stores - I think a one pound box is close to $7.00 - rip off.

No, someone just asked me about soy milk as well. I haven't tried any of those. Whole milk, 2% work the best. I tried skim and it never set up after 10+ hours in the yougurt maker. The instruction manual only give recipes for regular milk with vatious milkfat contents.

This works best with whole milk. I tried 2% milk and I didn't get the froth consistency that I prefer for my cappuccino. I have not tried any other milk substitutes, so can't say for sure if it will or will not work. My suggestion is to try making it in a jar first (put warm milk in a jar and shake it) to see if it froths. If it does, then this milk frother will work. I really love this milk frother, just a few pumps and you have rich/thick froth!

I use at minimum 1/2 cup to max 1 1/2 cup cold 1% or 2% milk. Heat it up stirring occasionally but not to boil as it can burn. i put the cover on when the milk is heated and you will see the froth forming under the top after a few pumps. The more you pump the thicker the froth gets. I pour off some of the milk into my coffee then really pump the remaining milk to get that beautiful creamy topping which you can scoop out. Just have to pump the heck out of it. You will be shocked if you do it right. It's pretty cool. Hope this helps someone.

I use luke warm milk, but doesn't always work...make sure its whole milk. FYI...I am on my 3rd set of batteries....what's up with that?

We use whole milk with this product so we are not sure how that would work, however there is gelatin in it so we think this would be fine.

Sure! I'm doing 1/2 & 1/2 with whole milk as we are weening. Just make up your 1/2 formula (less than 1/2 of what the pitcher can hold) and then add your 1/2 BM. Give it a few pumps to mix and you should be good to go.

I agree with others who say to try different types of milk. This also happened to me and changing brands and mild percentage did the job .

I've used 2% and whole milk and it seems I get greater foam with the full fat milk. However, I think an inch of foam is good considering the coffee and milk are blended and heated together in one tool. You might try a higher fat milk to see if you get foam more to your liking.

You can use as much water/milk as you want depending on how you like the flavor, but you should at least use one cup. If you want to delute it you can use more water/milk, but one cup will do!

I have yet to use whole milk. I know that 1% and soy milK work well. My wife used almond milk the other day and nothing happened.

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