If I want to make hot froth milk do I use the frothing attachment or the heating attachments since each is specific

The two attachments - the large one is for frothing, the other is for keeping the milk stirred/moving. All you need to do is put on the frothing attachment, hit the heat button, and it makes heated, frothed milk.

There is one attachment that goes inside and that is how you froth the milk.

Yes, I have. It works just fine. I warmed the milk because you can either froth milk using cold OR hot, depending on your preference. I LOVE this frother!!

There is one chamber (boiler) for the water which is used for making both the coffee and the milk. There is a value though that directs water to the steam wand for frothing milk. This allows you to heat the machine once & then control the parts how you wish.

There are two different stirring attachments. The smaller one stirs. The larger one with the wire will make a nice froth.

Your steam wand can froth milk or heat it, depending on how deep you place the head. If just touching the surface of the milk it will mix steam with air to make bubbles (froth) If placed below the milk surface, all the steam is heating the milk. That is why coffee shops use thermometers when frothing. They are gauging how long to let steam heat it after they froth.

Yes, you can. You need to use the heating only disc attachment instead of the frothing disc.

A milk frother used high pressure steam to heat and froth. Seriously doubt this would work.

I've tried many different espresso/cappuccino makers over the years and none of the frother attachments were very good. Initially they were ok but they all got worse over time even with frequent cleaning of the frothing tube. I found the best way to froth the milk is to heat the milk first (in microwave or stove top) then place the milk in one of those French Press coffeemakers and pump the press up and down until the milk froths (pump about 8-12 times). It works every time regardless of the the type of milk you use (whole, 2%, 1% or skim). I hope that helps!

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

Yes there is just a heated milk option. You can also keep the milk cold and just froth.

Milk temp will vary by how much milk you use, as the milk frother works for a fixed period of time (you could run it two cycles if you like). I generally heat the frother up first with water (which is steaming when done) then I use the frother for the milk. I also pre-heat my cups with water and a microwave.

I just frothed my morning cup. I heat milk in microwave 2 minutes then froth, very hot milk does best.

Yes it does both, you just fill it to the line with milk and it does heat and froth by itself, it's great!

There is a heat setting for the coffee under program, not sure if it affects the frothing wand. Could just froth the milk longer with the wand.

The cappuccinatore attachment is the fastest and best way to steam/foam milk with this machine because it does not waste any steam time (you don't get much with this machine) heating the milk (in the cappuccinatore, milk is steamed in a "reactor" that takes very little steam per unit of milk). You can steam/froth 8 oz of milk in about 20 seconds after the steam ready light comes on.

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.

The distance is a few inches. You can get both sizes of frothing cups under it. I have found that the shape of the cup makes a difference in the frothing: a bulbous shape works better than a straight-sided shape. And it takes practice to get the milk both frothed and heated.
