Can you froth the milk without the auto milk dispenser? Can I use a ss frothing pitcher for my milk

It only dispenses froth out of its automatic frother. There is an option to froth as much as you can hold in the milk container on the unit. Or as little as you want.

For how I use it, definitely. I just place a little creamer in the bottom of my cup, micro for 10 sec and froth away. An immersion would be way too big and powerful. This us a good frother!

You can microwave it withOut the top. This is an excellent pouring pitcher for kids.

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.

Buy a milk frothing pitcher. I have the 200 ml one and it works wonderfully. Froths milk much better than my cappuccino machine.

I have this and bought one of the 20oz frother pitchers on Amazon...what I have noticed is that it's hard to get to the lower part of the milk. So it is too tall- otherwise if I am persistent, I am able to make it work. I have looked online at 12oz, but worried it still will be too tall. Hope that helps.

That would be a very bad idea, IMO. It's not meant to function as a milk steamer, and you'd almost certainly gum up the works, perhaps beyond repair. Personally, I heat my milk in the microwave; doesn't froth it of course but gives it a nice flavor.

I assume you're asking if you can froth the milk, use some of it and store the remainder in the refrigerator to re-froth later. I would think you could providing the humidity in the refrigerator wouldn't ruin the machine. I would go to the manufacturer on this one.

No I do not believe you can manually steam your milk. However it is very easy to just click in the froth unit right in the front and then small hose into a cup of milk. push a button and it sucks out the milk and steams it right up ...very easy! AND EASY TO CLEAN

I Love this machine but I also just fill it halfway and don't need that much milk and froth. I would just do that and do it again if you need more.

No but they give you a strainer and pitcher with it. So when it is done you simply pour the milk through the strainer into the pitcher. It's quick and easy. I love my machine and it is the easiest to use I've ever seen. Think about it having the strainer and pitcher separate from the machine makes everything very easy to clean.

The version I have at work doesn't have a separate milk function, so you'd have to do the milk separately unless you were getting one that had the milk already in the pod. (IE, one of those versions of cappuccinos that aren't really "real" cappuccinos.) I don't think that this specific type of brewer has a milk frother attachment, although some of the newer or smaller versions would.

I see no reason for not being able to warm milk directly in the unit. I would leave the frother out of the vessel when doing so. Be careful when handling vessel--it is on stovetop and it is not insulated--it will get hot.

I only used it a few times before buying the Secura frother. They operate similarly and both have plastic "agitators." I imagine you will have a hard time finding one of these without Teflon type material, or plastic agitators. If you do I'd be interested to find out!

Neither model has INTEGRATED GRINDER OR MILK CONTAINER. Makes great espresso and froths milk nicely, but one has to load from separate grinder and fill container with mill to froth!

My pitcher holds about 32 ounces, however, you would not put that much milk into it for frothing. I generally froth for myself and only use about 4-5 ounces of warm milk.

Won't be automatic. You will need to steam the milk and make coffee seperate.
