does it make the milk really hot ( like boiling level ) ??

No. It is pretty much "warm/hot" ish, i'd say. It mixes with a hot espresso and is immediately drinkable.

The frother I have heats the milk/cream to an adequate temp. I don't know what the temp is but I am really happy with mine.

I never took the chance to get the temperature. But it only gets the milk warm and not hot as opposed to using a steam wand. I returned this machine and got me the Gaggia classic. Can't beat fresh made coffee.

We use ours in the Dr. Brown's bottle warmer that heats the same way. We heat a cold bottle straight from the fridge for 3 minutes. I use the sealing disk on the bottle instead of the nipple. I don't think the bottle gets uncomfortably hot. The milk doesn't get too hot.

I fill the milk to the line indicated, turn on the button, and it gets hot and foamy all by itself. Maybe your machine is defective?

YES! The directions with the unit say that all you do need to is add 1/2 cup dry milk to the recipe and you will NOT need to heat the milk on the stove. I have never heated milk and my yogurt turns out perfect every time. Adding the dry milk is the key to not having to heat it.

I just ordered a third machine. My first one heated the milk to 140°. The second machine heats the milk to 166°. 166 is too hot and will burn the milk. I believe these will shut off by thermostatic control. If the milk is not getting hot enough you probably have a defective machine. My experience, based on buying three of these is the quality control is all over the place! If your milk is not getting hot enough you have a defective machine. Send it in for replacement.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

Absolutely! I put it on a medium heat and wait until it just starts to steam - fat free milk, believe it or not, foams the best. After ten pumps, let it sit about 2 minutes then take the top of and swirl to incorporate all the foam. I actually even put the coffee in with the milk and it is like dessert!

It can but if you make it with Hot water it will just make it taste not even close to its true potential taste when you use milk with it!!!! I recommend no water water bad. Just because something has milk in it already it is always best with milk

The temperature is fine for me, it's a drinkable temperature, but it's no where near as hot as the milk you get in a Starbucks latte. Some have complained to me about the milk not being hot enough. I believe a newer Nespresso machine has adjustable temperature for even hotter milk.

Yes, it can be used to heat milk. Actually is does a great job of heating milk for making hot chocolate -- so just don't add the cocoa.

Yes you have to heat the milk up first. I don't think any of them do this step. I found it was easiest to just zap it in the microwave. It took a few tries to figure out how long to zap it but now I have a routine and it's not hard.

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

It doesn't seem to get too hot but we use espresso and milk. It has the handle which definitely is not hot with very hot coffee in it.

Yes it does...the only big issue I find is in Cappacino...the milk froth is not hot at all - its at room temperature...

Yes I heat milk on the stove all the time, on a very low flame. friends are amazed when they see me put it on the gas stove.
