Yes, and I actually do this quite often. You do this by using the frother. I usually place the cocoa or chocolate syrup in the cup first, and froth the milk over it while I stir. My kids love to have their "cappucinos" along with Mom. Normally I don't think the milk gets hot enough, but I do tend to like my foods and beverages on the hotter side. For the kids sometimes I throw in half an ice cube after to let it cool down a bit.

I think it would be fine to use it for hot chocolate but I have only used mine for coffee. It works very well and keeps coffee hot for hours.

Does your milk get hot or does nothing at all happen to your milk? I find that certain milks do not froth well so while I get hot milk I do not get frothy milk. Have you switched milks?

I've found that there are different opinions of what is hot. When I order steamed milk or hot chocolate I ask for extra hot as I otherwise consider it warm that said, what I do with my Froggers is run twice but don't usually need a full froth the second time around. I'm also careful to watch on the second froth that it doesn't foam over.

It gets hot enough to burn your mouth. We add milk and it is still pretty hot

I've used the milk heater for hot chocolate. The unit stops before the milk gets burnt or changes colour. Once you pour the milk, the unit will likely burn the remnants unless you pour a splash of cold milk to keep the burnt layer from forming or drown it with water.

I use milk and no one has complained of theHot chocolate being too hot. Id say equavilant to a cup of coffee from my kcup machine.

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.

I use mine primarily for hot chocolate for my son's swim team. Not once was it hot to the touch. I usually put hot water prior to putting in the hot chocolate. Maybe something is wrong with the 1 you have.

I use 12oz of hot milk, 3T of cocoa, 2T white sugar, a dash of salt, and a touch of vanilla. But I like DARK hot chocolate, so this will definitely not be everyone's taste!

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

It is not for espresso or cappuccino. You could certainly heat water to make hot chocolate. This machine is strictly for making coffee only.

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 am not sure if this will work with chocolate. And the machine gets hot if it runs for too long or is worked too hard. The tasks i use it for are done in 20 min

The hot chocolate is magical. Haven't tried it for lattes, etc. But I really don't think so.

No, plug in the cocomotion add your milk or water and coco mix, put lid back on and hit on/start button on the front, it will heat(very hot) and mix. Wonderful machine.

It depends really how hot you want your drink. I personally like the temperature of the milk, but my wife has to heat it up more in the microwave to really enjoy it. I would guess for most people the milk is not going to be hot enough.
