could i pour in a small amount of hot milk and use the plunger to make it frothy?

I don't think so. The straining screen fits too tightly against the wall of the cup to function as an effective plunger.

Never tried it, but I honestly doubt it. Don't think it's engineered for that.

I usually have a latte, adding hot milk, so not so sure. I do find when I go back for the second cup it can use a little warming.

If the mug is rather short, then yes. The revolutions are intense, so deeper "tube" glasses or deeper mugs are ideal. Begin low (toughing) the apparatus to the bottom of the cup, then raise slowly (monitoring). As you move the frother up/down - you will create more and more froth. The unit is outstanding (and not just for coffee - I've moved into mix cocktails as well). I'm thing about buying about 20 of these things as next years Christmas gifts.....

The temperature is adjustable from a cold stir up to 160 degrees plus. I don't know how much froth you'd get if you used the cold setting but it wouldn't heat the milk.

Im sure you can. Ive always mixed mine with whole milk. Just make sure you stir it good because it doesnt mix very well

I ahve often used this to make 1 or 2 cups. The only slight disadvantage is that the plunger will not go down very low, because it's designed for going down on a larger amount of coffee.

Rice milk is fairly light so incorporating air into in should not be a problem. However, half and half is very heavy and would not foam as well. I use half and half in my coffee and use 2% in the milk frother and pour that over the top of my coffee.

Yes you can. As long as you don't overflow the bottom chambers with the egg/milk liquid it should work fine. Mine come out great.

Doubtful. You need the targeted pressure of the plunger to push the food through the tiny opening.

No, it is not recommended. Heat the milk in a mug in the microwave then pour it into the frother.

It can make hot chocolate and will heat the mixture just fine. If you get foam from the milk will depend a lot on the milk you are using and when you add the concentrated coffee. I'd recommend foaming the milk and adding the coffee concentrate about 2/3 of the way through after you already have some nice foam from the milk. There is a pour in spot in the lid so adding mid process isn't hard.

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!

No, I wouldn't chance it. I would heat the milk however you like (gas stove or microwave), then pour the heated milk in the pitcher and froth. It's an amazing little gadget that froths milk perfectly for a fraction of what you'd pay for a fancy electric one. Makes great Lattes and Cappuccino.

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.

Yes!!! If you want it to continuously froth then I'm afraid you do! I would hold it until it got started but realized it stopped before the milk was completely frothed. So I hold it down the whole time until I think my milk is frothed enough.

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.

Before you plunge, just add the milk and sugar. I must admit to not adding sugar but it works for the milk
