I think that's crazy someone would say "it's not sturdy enough". These are $300 worth of equipment when bought all together. These machines are made very well and are not some $30 espresso machine you'd buy in a pinch at K-Mart. They are the real deal and made to be used every day if not more than once a day.

Though I have only had my Essenza and Aeroccino for one month, I use both on a daily basis and haven't encountered any problems. I think so long as you keep them both clean and are careful with the appliances, you should be able to use each appliance on a daily basis.

I've been using mine daily for over a yr. Great! Even bring it with me on vaca!!!

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

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

I bought this as gift for my mother. But I can tell you she uses it for coffee throughout the day and when my nephew was born, for a while my sister would use it to store cold milk so she'd have it handy throughout the day or if she was traveling with him. Both worked just fine. So I don't see there being any problem with putting dairy products, neither of them seemed to have any issues at all with it.

I have 2 mug warmers at home, bought from dollar stores years ago. They are still working till now. I have always left a stainless mug of water on one of them 24/7 to have warm water always available when I need some (instead of using a thermos bottle). In the morning I use the other one to keep my coffee warm. I add cream and sugar to my coffee so after a while of warming the coffee, a film of cream forms on top. So I have to turn off the mug if I know I will not be needing the remaining coffee for a while. When I feel I'm ready for the rest of my coffee, I just turn on the mug warmer again, and in a few minutes, I have my coffee. I have 2 mug warmers at home, bought from dollar stores years ago.

It depends really how hot you want your drink. I personally like the temperature of the milk, but my wife has to heat it up more in the microwave to really enjoy it. I would guess for most people the milk is not going to be hot enough.

hi, I got a couple of new ones from Nespresso, made no difference...I just think the machine is not up tp it, I even got anew machine and more whisks...but this week, not much froth, just warm milk, very annoying...yet my friend has an old machine that works every time...need to find an antique! Good luck. Am going to put my machine on e bay...never been so disappointed, I was going to buy a machine for my sons...but they are not keen any more having seen my results.

I just ordered a third machine. My first one heated the milk to 140°. The second machine heats the milk to 166°. 166 is too hot and will burn the milk. I believe these will shut off by thermostatic control. If the milk is not getting hot enough you probably have a defective machine. My experience, based on buying three of these is the quality control is all over the place! If your milk is not getting hot enough you have a defective machine. Send it in for replacement.

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.

Personally I use milk. My daughter used original Almond Breeze. All three flavones are delicious. When I have the chocolate flavor I do use the chocolate almond breeze. Perfect

Put less milk into the Aerocinno. Nespresso replaced mine and it works beautifully. But, if you put too much milk in the container it will overflow. i only pour what I will use for that cup in the machine! Good luck. I love mine!

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!

The Aeroccino is a separate piece that sits on the stand and powered by the stand, It is activated separately from the brewer, there are 2 frother heads that are included, one for high froth and one for low. There is storage in the stand for the heads when not in use. The Aeroccino is a great milk frother, it produces hot or cold frothed milk all in about a minute. It is easy to use and clean, the milk is hot coming from the unit not lukewarm. If purchased separately it is $99. I do not think you will be disappointed with the Nespresso machines, they are by far the best pod system out there and I have owned them all.

Yes we used the night and day warmer. I am thinking any warmer would probably work. We took off the top of the bottle when being warmed. Of course we mixed it around and tested it before giving it to the baby. The manufacturer said you could actually put it in the microwave but we didn't do that. Loved the bottles we even dropped them several times on hard services and they never broke. The only complaint I have is they are heavy for the baby to hold.

Hi, I made my first batch of ice cream today and it was fabulous. My recipe called for 1 cup milk, and I used 3/4 cup of lactaid fat free milk and 1/4 cup of light cream. I also used some heavy cream, fresh strawberries and sweet n low (I'm not lactose intolerant, just avoid sugar). It was great, very creamy and easy to scoop, not at all runny.

How long do you steam the milk? If you like it really hot, you can always microwave it after you froth it. Or you can just steam it longer. Also make sure you let the steam build up after switching it from the drip. Hope this helps!

It's an insulated tumbler - so I am not sure if using a cup "warmer" would be a very efficient way to keep a beverage warm - that being said - it is a plastic cup and if the warmer gets very hot - may damage the cup...
