does it get the milk/froth really hot?

It doesn't get really hot, but it is hot. I use the attachment that makes it a fluffy froth and it makes a fabulous latte type coffee. I love the frother so much, I take it on vacation with me. It can also make a cold froth for iced coffee.

Sarah, yes I can warm the milk/cream. I love this frother, would recommend it for sure!

Yes, it gets very hot actually and automatically shuts off after 30 mins. It has everything a large coffeemaker has only in a small size.

All you do is pour the milk in and push the button. It heats and froths at the same time, leaving a layer of foam on the top. It shuts off automatically. I usually push the button three times because I like my milk fairly hot!

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 have no problems frothing but have never used raw milk. Full cream milk is much more difficult to froth. Cannot answer why it froths cold not hot although I did return mine for a replacement as it never frothed hot but that was a fault with the machine. The replacement works well with no problems.

Yes, it does heat the milk. I suggest taking the foamer attachment off - it foams it well enough with out it on.

I just tested this yesterday actually! With the frother whisk attached it gets to about 130 degrees. Without the frother piece attached I find that I need to have the milk go through several cycles before it gets to the temperature I like. However, keep in mind that milk scalds at 180 degrees, so keep it below that temp.

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

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

Ours is plenty hot for us but we drink it black. I am not sure if there is any way to make it hotter...however you can steam the milk while brewing so it is warmer when you add it.

I heat my milk in the microwave or stove top in a separate pan or cup then put it in this frother. I don't think I would use it on a stove top.

I find that it warms the milk but doesn't make it hot. If you likes it hot using the microwave seems like a good idea.

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.

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.

I am not really sure what you mean by that, Andrew. I can tell you it works really well. We love pouring the milk in, turning it on, and by the time our coffee or tea is hot, the milk is ready to go. Nice and hot, and if you like it frothy, this product is for you.
