Does this keep the chocolate hot for a few hours?

I used it at two weddings. I had no trouble with it keep chocolate hot. I know I was using it for close to two hours.

Yes, as long as you keep the power on, it will alway be hot and running. I had mine on for about 3 hours.

Hi Gary, you still have to heat the Chocolate in the microwave to soften it, it stays warm enough to keep the fountain flowing I had it running for about 3 hours with no issues. I was very pleased with the product.

The beverage stays very hot for 2-3 hours. It will begin to cool down, but is still quite warm after the 3 hours. If you keep the lid in the closed position, it will stay very warm for a couple more hours.

None. I put hot chocolate in it one time and spent hours trying to clean it.

Yes indeed. It does a great job of keeping hot beverages hot. I have also used it for Pina Coladas and the only limiting factor is the diameter of the siphon tube which limits the size of any crushed ice you can dispense. Hot chocolate should not be a problem unless you put the marshmallows in it when you put it in the air pot instead of putting the marshmallows in the hot chocolate after you dispense it into your mug!

We have used the fountain continuously for 5 or 6 hours no problems. We just make sure the chocolate level is always where it is supposed to be. Once the chocolate gets low the fountain doesn't work as well or even stops.

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.

No. It's a thermos. It will keep the coffee warm for an hour or so. It's not made to cook with.

Although we have never tried it, it certainly seems fine. It would keep the chocolate hot for hours and pump it through ok. The main caution would be to thoroughly clean the pot, the pump, and especially the tube after each use. We use a small brush to fit inside the tube, available at any hardware store, which would clean the tube adequately. Thoroughly pumping water through the pot should help, also. You must avoid the buildup of old milk that can occur over time without good cleaning.

I like my coffee very hot. After prewarming the carafe I find the coffee too cool to drink after 2.5 hours

I have left this iron on for over an hour and a half and it stayed hot. I do not think it does

Mine ran for 5-6 hours. And you can pour more chocolate mixture in while it is running if you need to refill. I've used it 3 times with great success and it's always a hit at a party.

I have used mine for Hot chocolate and it kept it hot for longer than a regular cup. Try putting HOT tap water in it for about 2 minutes before you put the Coffee in and it should do the same.

No. I don't think that would be a good idea. However , it does keep my coffee and tea hot, then nice and warm for up to two hours. I love it!

No. Hot beverages will stay hot for up to 4 hours so microwaving is not generally necessary.

It will keep it hot for several hours, but make sure you pre-heat the pot first.

The person I gave it to says it keeps it hot, for at least an hour. Unfortunately, I don't have any personal experience with it because it was a gift. I hope this helps a little bit!

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 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.
