How do you make hot chocolate out if it? Does it need to be cooked or simply added to hot water or milk?

Simply add to water or milk. You can sweeten with your favorite sweetener. Enjoy!

I don't really know. We use it in a smoothie as one of the supplements each morning. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This product can be used for anything you would use cocoa powder for. It is more like Hershey's cocoa and not like hot cocoa mix. It is not an instant mix, and it is unsweetened.

Not really sure because I further heat the coffee then immediately pour it into an insulated carafe. I never let the coffee just sit in the pot. Frankly, I don't think the coffee comes out hot enough, at least not if you plan to add milk or creamer.

Was always under the impression that only water is to be used in the Hot Shot. My personal suggestion is: If milk was used flush it out w/a solution of vinegar and water. Then follow that up with at least 3 more flushes of water until it runs clean. Hope this helps. Audre

the milk is only steamed for cappuccino, not hot enough for cocoa. You can get very hot water if you use the cocoa that you mix with water

I personally use a tablespoon or 1/2 of a tablespoon. Depending on how much milk you using. Also remember cocoa is a bit bitter so using a lot will make the hot chocolate taste a bit bitter if the cocoa is not dissolve completely. And I don't like my hot chocolate too dark. So I basically use this cocoa, a pinch of salt to bring out that flavor! And sugar! Throw some marsmellows too!

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.

I rinse mine off in hot water as soon as I pour the milk out and set it on a dish towel to dry. Never had to put it in the dishwasher. It is coated on the inside. I love mine. 1 cup of microwaved whole milk, pour in, put the lid on and push the handle up and down about 30 times lift off, pour in cup of pre sweetened coffee, rinse insert and wash the pot by hand. Enjoy. It is the best. Nothing to break. You can also make foaming hot chocolate.

you need to heat the milk on stove first. i tried my second batch with plain Fage greek yogurt.I warm the milk as recommended. Turn out very well. i set the temp.to 7 hours. It is very simple to use.Great machine. I would recommended this machine.It is easy to use.

Turn up the heat. It's silicone and takes a higher temp. I had no problem melting chocolate.

I heat the water in an electric auto shut off pot. Add grinds to the french press, add boiling water once done, cover, let sit for less than a minute while I heat milk for thirty seconds in the microwave, push top down on press gently, pour into milk already in cup. A few less steps if you like black coffee. Easier and more efficient than an electric percolator and gives me just the right amount. Good luck.

I drink it like hot tea and add a flavored coffee creamer. You could probably do it like a cold latte, but it dissolves best in very hot water.

As long as they are the single serve pods in the flow thru bags. You can even make tea, using different tea bags. For instant hot chocolate, just pour the mix into coffee cup, brew hot water and stir.

I make 2 cups at a time. Depending which hot cocoa you use, use 2 cups water and the allotted amount of hot cocoa. Heat for 6 minutes. Pour using the ____/frost function. My daughter has this in her room somewhere so I don't remember which other function it has. It's pretty simple though. I hope this helps.

It's packed away, so I can't access it right now, but I'm thinking about 1 cup. Once you get going and the chocolate reaches optimal temperature, added chocolate melts almost immediately (as long as you don't dump in a large amount at once.)

It keeps it melted, melt it first in the microwave per the directions. It's a great little machine. Just make sure and clean it out really well when you're done so the chocolate doesn't harden and ruin it. Great buy, love this little machine. I used it for my parents wedding vow renewal and everyone really enjoyed it.

You cannot add it to a hot liquid. I mixed it with 1/4 cup of powdered milk and a bit of fruit to sweeten it. I cannot stand artificial sweeteners or stevia. I would rather sweeten it myself using a real sugar in small quantity. I used a small single serve blender or it can be mixed with a fork. Put real food in it and no more than a tsp of real sugar. You can even use a bit of real cocoa powder if you like chocolate.
