Can this be used to make hot chocolate? We have some activities coming up and want to be able to make a large amount of hot chocolate at once.

I'm sure you can. We use it too make tea :) we put the tea bags at the top where you would place coffee beans. If the coco is a powder you would need to line it with a coffee filter so it wouldn't just fall threw. I hope that helped.

Maybe if some type of a filter is used. From the very beginning of using my product I noticed that the. Appliance doesn't keep the coffee as hot, like if the heating element is not working right.

I have been using it for hot chocolate since I bought it and have had no problems.

I don't see why not. Heat the water, add the mix, stir and serve. Clean well afterwards.

It would work to make a double-boiler with a glass bowl, but it is taller and narrower than the pot I use for that purpose. I use a dutch oven and a large stainless steel bowl to melt chocolate. If you've got a medium glass bowl, it will be fine. I use this pot to heat up soup, milk for cocoa, cream when I am making caramel candies, etc.

I haven't used it for hot chocolate but I think if you use it with milk you need to thoroughly clean the pump mechanism after each use.

You can use it to hold hot water or pre-mixed hot chocolate, but it's not going to make the hot chocolate for you. It is a percolator, and cocoa mix doesn't percolate like coffee does.

Can't give you the exact temperature, of course; and I haven't made hot chocolate in it. However, I can tell you that the froth I make is steaming hot, so my guess is that the hot chocolate would be the same.

Yes, you can. That is exactly what I do. I find it mixes better with hot beverages rather than cold.

It's OK for Hollandaise sauce, if you make a small amount of it. It is also OK if you follow the original recipe and use a whisk.I do not, I actually use an electric hand mixer, so this silicone double boiler is not the best. This product is actually best for melting chocolate.

Hi Mohamed. We used it for hot chocolate. It stayed very warm for 30 mins. It fell apart after 3 uses.

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

Yes, you should be able to use this in melted chocolate. I'm not sure about the chemistry behind it, but it shouldn't seize. I use my emulsions in a mixture of 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3 T. pure maple syrup and 1 tsp. emulsion of choice. I stir with a whisk until well blended, pour into chocolate molds, chill 30 minutes and it's perfect. Good Luck!!

I did not use this chocolate for that purpose specifically, but I think it would work well. It melts quite easily in the microwave if you stir it frequently. I used in a chocolate fountain, where you dip things (like pretzels) and they were easily cover in chocolate. It does solidify quickly without a heat source though.

You can make warm milk with the frother and add hot cocoa. But, you can't make it with the machine.

If you add the powder while it's already stirring, maybe....but I wouldn't recommend it for long term hot chocolate use. I don't have first-hand experience since I dint drink hot chocolate but you don't want to gunk up the stirrers. Hope that helps!

Absolutely!! Just make SURE that you don't use too much. I did and I had to keep adding cacao powder! Be careful too when it's in the double boiler as it melts quickly. My chocolate turned out yummy!!

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.

you can make multiple batches, it makes them small, so you would get multiple batches if you made the full recipe of anything. this machine gets scorching hot, so you have to be careful with the bottom burning. if i'm honest i don't really use it because it is more of a hassle than it is fun.

It would be fine. We had around 40 people at our party and had plenty of chocolate left. I bought 4 bags to go with it and only used 1. Be sure when you melt your chocolate use the Defrost button on microwave. It works Great!
