Can the froth disk be used with milk and cocoa for frothing hot cocoa? The instructions state that the forth disk is to be used for milk only.

Mr. Coffee Cafe Cocoa is specially designed to blend ingredients thoroughly for the perfect cup of hot chocolate. You can use any combination of milk or water, chocolate syrup or powder or real pieces of your favorite chocolate.

I do not know as I don't have the frothing disk attachment. I'm guessing it would be fine and that they mean it works better when using milk to make cocoa vs water??

I put the cocoa in with the milk and use the frothing disk all the time. Never had an issue.

Yes, that is only for frothing. I hardly use it because it is already well frothed without that extra piece! If you put your hot chocolate for 4 mins, it is well frothed, that is, for me anyway.

Pretty hard to get up to the speed to froth milk. It's a great kitchen gadget, but in my opinion..not the best one for milk. You would probably end up wearing the milk.

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.

the milk is only steamed for cappuccino, not hot enough for cocoa. You can get very hot water if you use the cocoa that you mix with water

I haven't, but I can't see why not as long as the burner is turned down low on one of the small burner so that the screen inside or plastic thing under the top "ball" doesn't melt. I used mine chilled and think this is absolutely the best frother out there for its price range. If I don't use all the cream froth, I put it back in the fridge and it seems to stay frothed for quite a while and then refroths the next day if needed. Its really well made and heavy duty.

Depends on the fat content and temperature of what you are frothing. If the milk boils it won't froth. Also full fat froths better than low/fat free. Don't think it was meant to form peaks...just froth. Hope this helps.

I have this same machine and I only use whole milk. It froths mine beautifully. I did once try half and half and that did not froth, but no issues with the whole milk.

I have never tried frothing twice and find no need to. The frothing accessory makes such a stiff froth it would be unnecessary, plus the volume is such that there would not be enough liquid dairy product to run the machine again. There is a "minimum" amount of dairy to run the machine.

Yes, you can. You need to use the heating only disc attachment instead of the frothing disc.

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.

I'm sure that it can froth powdered milk, since I use it solely for powdered cocoa. I froth in a mug everynight.

The Aerocino works best with low fat content milk. I use skim milk and it froths that just perfectly. I have used skim milk from the store as well as skim milk made from powdered milk and they both work equally well.

Yes, as others have said, there are two disks - one for creating froth and the other just for heating the milk. Both circulate the milk to keep it from scalding as it heats.

Yes. Like with other frothers, there are multiple discs available to use. In the case of the Breville, it comes with two discs, one for frother and one for just heating. Personally, I find that the frothing disc on the Breville actually produces less foam that some competitors, especially when frothing a larger volume of milk.

I heat my milk in the microwave (in a pyrex measuring cup) before frothing and it works just fine. I don't want to add cold frothed milk to my hot coffee. Just keep in mind that the milk volume will almost double, so the container you froth in needs room to allow for this. This is handy to take on trips too. Even camping

I use mine every day to froth 8 oz of milk. You can froth less. Over the 2 years I've used it, I found it's most efficient to scald the cold milk in the microwave (in my case, for 2 minutes) before putting it into the frothed. It's nice and hot when I use it to make my daily hot chocolate. If I were using it to make a latte or a cafe au'lait, I'd probably put about a 1/3 cup of cold milk in the frother and add it to the hot coffee.
