Has anyone made caf&eacute; mocha with this where you want some hot milk and not all foam?

The amount of foam produced is directly dependent on how much effort you put into pumping.

Yes, I have. I had to because the grind was too fine for my espresso maker. I think the mocha pots work better with coarser grinds, but this worked well. You don't need to tamp, just level.

Really it's more warm than hot. Does most amazing job on thickest foam you'll ever see ANYWHERE but with chocolate syrup added not so much. That said, go for the Breville Milk frother if you want hot choc. In fact except for it's size it's superior in every way; esp cleaning. Any with Teflon are hard to clean if even done immed. On the Breville Café Milk express it rinses immed clean with no soap!!!

I have only used milk for hot chocolate. I use my espresso machine for lattes and mix 1/2 milk and 1/2 flavored coffee-mate.

The foam doesn't get as thick as great coffee houses like Stump Town and Elysian Coffee. Hot milk feature just makes the milk luke warm after yhe set time. I have stopped using mine after trying it four times.

Yes. At first I thought the milk seemed luke warm. Then I found a solution. Simply heat your coffee cup! Fill your coffee cup with very hot water and let it sit while you prepare your drink. Then dump the water out of your cup before adding espresso and milk. Piping hot latte every time!

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

Makes really thick foam with skim milk. Does not make thick foam with other types of milk including half and half. Makes decent foam (not thick) with mixture of half and half and skim.

I used the froth plus with homemade almond milk and it works really, really well - thick foam just like regular milk. It does not work as well with almond or coconut milk out of a box - think it has something to do with all the additives/oils, etc...

Yes, you can. To heat up the milk and not froth it, you would not put on the cappuccino or latte attachments. The milk would still get stirred as the machine heated it up but it wouldn't be geaten "beaten" to a froth.

The latte disc (included) doesn't really make much (if any) foam. It stirs the milk while it's heating which results in evenly heated milk. I use it for this purpose often and am very happy with it.

Yes Sir, the old fashioned way... milk chocolate and heat and stir constantly. The CocoMotion does it for you. You can use ANY forms of cocoa Mix or Mocoa mixes, etc... add herseys syrup or any other flavors to the milk to tweak your cup the way you want. We LOVE ours. NO ONE makes Cocoa better than this cocomotion. I can make Swiss Miss Amazing just by adding a bit more choc syrup. IT's off the charts insane how amazing this is. FYI I am NOT a paid spokesman. This Product really is this flat out off the charts Awesome!!! Worth the price!

I have not tried either, I don't actually recommend this unit but I highly recommend Capresso 202.04 froth plus! This unit is esthetically pleading but MUCH hard to clean, I recommend the less expensive model, I use mine daily but sorry, haven't tried anything but regular milk.

You can have either hot milk or cold milk. There's only one button. To get hot milk you simply fill to the max line, plug it in, put the lid on and press the button. It stirs and heats up the milk. If you use the whisk attachment, you'll get more foam. If you use the smaller attachment, you will have much less foam for lattes.

Hi Maam,There's a product by the swiss Miss, called "Hills Bros. Cappucino double Mocha" that is GREAT. I've used it in this and I tend to make my own differing flavors. I'll take the swiss Miss or any Gourmet mixes and add to the Milk,then I tend to Drizzle in Hersey's syrup even... Over Kill but HOLY KRAP!!!! SHAZAM!!!! It's AWESOME!!!! :) I hope this helps.

Yes, the milk frother ("aerrocino") may be the best part about this unit. You just pour cold milk in and choose from four different milk styles. Two types of foam, cold frothed milk or warm frothed milk. The milk frother is even available as a standalone unit for $99.00 and if I didn't get this machine as a gift I might just buy the aerrocino and use with any espresso machine.
