How hot does the milk get? I have the another automatic nespresso and I don't think the milk get hot enough.

Mine heats the milk to about 120 degrees...about 50 degrees too low for my taste.

I wouldn't say it is super hot - not hot enough to burn yourself with - but hot enough not to cool off the coffee.

I just tested this yesterday actually! With the frother whisk attached it gets to about 130 degrees. Without the frother piece attached I find that I need to have the milk go through several cycles before it gets to the temperature I like. However, keep in mind that milk scalds at 180 degrees, so keep it below that temp.

Milk temp will vary by how much milk you use, as the milk frother works for a fixed period of time (you could run it two cycles if you like). I generally heat the frother up first with water (which is steaming when done) then I use the frother for the milk. I also pre-heat my cups with water and a microwave.

I use espresso grind, not the finest. It depends on how strong you wish your coffee to be, you can use any kind but the finer grinds give you a stronger coffee. Also, the milk does not get hot in the top, just warm unless you start with warm milk.

Answer here...What is "real hot" to you? The temperature is about the same as the coffee from my Mr. Coffee machine.

The milk gets hot enough but we have turned the machine to its hottest setting

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?

I use nespresso virtuline every day and it's very hot , its hot coffee , maybe adding cold milk may bring it down some but the nespresso puts out great hot coffee .

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.

I sure can't tell you exactly, since I add milk before I have my first cup... I can tell you that when I did add my milk, the temperature of the coffee was just perfect. Sorry I can't be specific to answer your question.

You can do the espresso pods like the other users have said and in a pinch if you have the frother it can heat up the milk for you as well. It will also do a full cup of coffee (with the right pods) if you like that.

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

I would say that yours is not working properly. Ours, if we let the milk get low it will freeze.

I usually have a latte, adding hot milk, so not so sure. I do find when I go back for the second cup it can use a little warming.

I never took the chance to get the temperature. But it only gets the milk warm and not hot as opposed to using a steam wand. I returned this machine and got me the Gaggia classic. Can't beat fresh made coffee.

Is the espresso cup cold when you make your espresso? Do you have a thermometer in the milk? You'll want the milk to approach 140 degrees

Sorry to say that there is something definitely wrong with the frother. It should heat the milk at the same time it is aerating it. Just pushing the button should initiate the heating element.

Hi Rajeev........It's definately stesming when finished. I pressed it twice the first time I used the Nespresso and, for my taste, it was almost too hot. I use the Nespresso daily and have no regrets for this purchase. Let's face it....to get "coffee house" perfection we'd need to buy a MUCH more expensive machine. I'd purchase this machine again....and have recommended it to friends who are also very happy with it. Hope this helps. Jean

Yes. At first I thought the milk seemed luke warm. 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!
