Yes, I only make hot chocolate from it and my husband is the coffee lover. It makes an amazing frothy hot chocolate!

Yes. Pressing the "cappuccino" button twice provides steamed milk. The rotating dial on the milk container adjusts the amount of foam. The machine has a 4-stage temperature adjustment which sets the temperature of the milk. By the way, the machine will also provide plain hot water, as well.

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

Yes, it can. I have used mine to heat milk for making hot chocolates. I don't know the exact temperature it produces, but it has been fine for us.

It makes hot water and can steam milk. You would just have to stop it from grinding or making the coffee. Or you could just make your self an espresso. While it steams the kids milk

I'm really surprised by the number of people who dont use water. I only use milk with the chocolate and its amazing. It's like drinking thick chocolate milk or a chocolate shake.

Sarah, yes I can warm the milk/cream. I love this frother, would recommend it for sure!

Sorry this is late but tes it will make hot chocolate just don't put espresso in it. Use the milk frother for the milk then put the chocolate in the bottom. Pour steamed milk and a little foam on top.

Well, you can heat milk. It is not actually "steamed" since you don't use a steam wand with this Frother. It does a good job of heating the milk, and is quiet. It is not great if you want the dense micro foam that I was looking for.

I've successfully ran it for approximately 6 hours. Was still going strong when I turned it off. I think it would be fine running as long as you keep it full of chocolate.

Really it's more warm than hot. Does most amazing job on thickest foam you'll ever see ANYWHERE but with chocolate syrup added not so much. That said, go for the Breville Milk frother if you want hot choc. In fact except for it's size it's superior in every way; esp cleaning. Any with Teflon are hard to clean if even done immed. On the Breville Café Milk express it rinses immed clean with no soap!!!

I no longer have my book, but I can tell you how I make it. The clear plastic part of the pot has graded cup marks. I use milk (most of the time skim, but I assume the creamier the better) and pour it into the pot based on how many cups I want to make. If I am using packets of hot cocoa I just put in one packet for every cup I am making. Plug it in, and push the button on the front. It will automatically stop when it is ready and warm....maybe 3-5 minutes. I think it comes out just perfect, but for my kids, I put a little cold milk in the mug before I pour the hot chocolate in....cools it down for them. An important thing for cleaning......when you clean, the center spinner is a magnet and milk gets trapped underneath. Just put your hand in and pull out the magnetic spinner, or you will have a sour smell/taste the next time you use it! Good luck.....if I can help you out any further, let me know......this has to be one of my favorite appliances!!!

It just heats and mixes the hot chocolate. You add in the milk and cocoa mix and it heats it to the perfect temp.

We never tried Coco or Chocolate. We always grind rice, lentils and things like that after soaking it in water for few hours. It works really really well and it's been more than a year, no complaints so far. We are very satisfied with the power quality and performance.

Put all ingredients for your hot chocolate into the carafe and simply turn it on. It will heat up, "froth" and shut off automatically when it's ready to serve. I reviewed this product a while ago so I won't repeat my comments here. :-)

No. You put all of the ingredients in the Cocomotion together, you can use milk or water, or half of each, even some other things like creamer, cinnamon, etc.. put the lid in the closed position, & push the button. The Cocomotion will heat it & mix it for you!! I love mine! I grew up with one, now I use mine all the time & have had it for 4 years ;)

I've never used hot chocolate in it. It slightly keeps the coffee or tea smell....so I wonder if there is something to do with that. However, I will say it is AMAZING at keeping things hot/warm. Good luck.

It keeps water just below boiling, so it is probably too hot for hot chocolate.Also, the residue on the sides would bake on, and despite being stainless steel, cleanup afterwards would be very difficult since you can't immerse this (or any other single piece electric urn that I know of.)

Hot coco! If you mix ice one coco, one coffee and one latte makes great cold coffee

Yes it can. You will heat/froth milk and add to your hot chocolate mix & then top hot coco with the frothed/foam head.

Hi, Stephanie, Let me start by encouraging you to buy something else. Anything else. This is a flimsy, cheap tool that I regret having bought. I bought it to use as an accessory for fondue dinner parties. I used it just once and it is stored somewhere. But, back to your question. It did maintain the temperature for chocolates (milk and hazelnut chocs) but it took a long time to come up to temperature. If memory serves, I plugged it in about 30 minutes before the dinner and it was not quite up to temperature at desert. By time of cleanup, the temperature was OK and the remaining chocolate was just right. As a novelty, go for it. But as an ongoing usable appliance, forget it. Jay
