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!

Yes! You can foam or steam the milk to make your coffee any way you want it.

Yes you can. It has a small reservoir at the bottom. But it's very small. Maybe half an ounce.

Yes. This machine does have a frother. Have only used that feature a couple of times (I don't care for foam), and it works well. This is a very durable machine and a great price for the quality you receive

Yes. It heats the contents and spins to keep it from burning. You can use the wire frother disc if you want. I sometimes reheat my coffee/latte in it. I hope this helps.

I really didn't do it like you said above but I did make a frappe with a spoon of nescafe and sugar in a half glass of water and then used this to froth it. I must say that it really does the job well and much quicker than the last time when I used a plastic shaker.

Definitely. This machine is designed to produce espresso and it has the capability to steam and froth milk. Essentially the French caf au lait and the Italian caff latte is 1/3 espresso to 2/3 steamed milk, or a three ounce double serving espresso to five ounces of steamed milk. There can be a slight learning curve when it comes to frothing the milk. Make sure you are using a fresh and cold skim or 2% milk. Bleed your frothing tube line before lowering it into your frothing pitcher. Water will dilute the milk if line hasn't been bled.

I bought two of these, one for a gift (which friends loved!) and an extra I may gift as well. The one that I've used for years does make a wonderful thick rich froth for coffee, I guess if you pump fo longer it would make whipped cream.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.

You can try but it barely blends the margaritas. If you like smooth margaritas don't buy this.

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.

Yes you can. I put hot coffee in mine and put it in the frig, but I'm also having a problem with the leads leaking when I pour from it. It usually makes a mess. I am looking to replace mine.

Yes, you may use any type of milk you wish. I've used coconut milk. Note, that creme and regular milk (2%) create the best froth.

yes it is very easy to clean and there is one small attachment that comes off. it is also very quiet and you can add any combination to make a froth.

Yes - the booklet will tell you to just add chocolate chips to your milk while frothing. My daughter has used powdered mixes. Personally, I like mine hotter, but that's according to your taste. Having answered the question you asked, I will share the only review I've ever done on Amazon. Basically, I can't recommend this because of its poor quality. I have not yet found another brand at a price I will pay. Good luck to you. I want to love this machine. Makes good froth at a good temperature. However, the quality is just horrible. The machine just stops working. Push the button and nothing. We exchanged our first one after only three weeks. Our second one has lasted six months but is now kaput. Returns are expensive; the consumer has to pay for shipping the defective one to Capresso. Outrageous! We will not replace this, but will look at other brands.
