Can I use this to just heat the milk without frothing?

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

yes you can. There's a separate button for heating. It doesn't get as hot as I like it, but may suit you. Please be aware that I am not recommending this product. I wrote a negative review about its quality. It stopped "spinning" 3 weeks after I first purchased it. Of course I called because it was still under warranty. They replaced it BUT I HAD TO PAY THE SHIPPING to return the non-functional unit. The second one has stopped working after ~ six months. It's still under warranty, but they said I would still have to pay the shipping. I'm not replacing it and gave it a bad review. It's too bad. I really enjoyed my home-made lattes. But their return policy is wrong and i won't support them. More than you asked, but thought you should know. hope it helps.

Yes, you can. There is a heating only disk you change to and then select the heating option. It does this very well also. In addition, I occasionally like a little of both the froth and heated only which I usually get with the frothing so I can make a cup of each which may be desirable with two different tastes in the house. The wife likes the heated milk and I the froth remaining. I did buy this unit myself and am not part of the vine. I still love the machine a good month or so in... RM

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

Yes you can! Just make sure you don't fill the frother pass the max line or it will spill.

Sorry to say that there is something definitely wrong with the frother. It should heat the milk at the same time it is aerating it. Just pushing the button should initiate the heating element.

Take the frother off. You don't need it. Put the wand in the pitcher just below the surface of the milk, steam your milk until it reaches the temperature you desire (it takes a while, this isn't an $8K machine here, but hey, even those take a while) and then lower the pitcher to where the steam wand is just above the surface for froth.

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

This item is not meant to be heated and, in my experience, hot milk does not froth as well as cold milk. You would pour cold milk in the frother, move the plunger up and down in quick succession for about 30 seconds, until you feel pressure from the frother (it becomes more difficult to move the plunger). This means that the milk has frothed. It is still cold, but has a wonderful consistency, that of whipped cream, and once you mix it with the coffee, it warms up. It's a wonderful daily, small luxury. I would never put this product on an induction stove top, or any other stove top.

I don't know why you couldn't - the temperature wouldn't be an issue. You would have scalded and cooled the milk already before adding the starter.

This appliance does not heat the milk initially. You must do that separately first. It is meant to hold the yogurt cultures at the ideal warm temperature for proper fermentation and then cool them.

I assume you're asking if you can froth the milk, use some of it and store the remainder in the refrigerator to re-froth later. I would think you could providing the humidity in the refrigerator wouldn't ruin the machine. I would go to the manufacturer on this one.

We bought this to make vegan yogurt and do not heat the soy milk, however I'm not sure if you would need to heat cow's milk.

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

Not a good idea ! It is intended for water. Milk would most likely ruin it due to the fact that it has to run through the machine.If you want to heat milk you would be better off using a small pot on the stove or the microwave.

No, I think that would be a real mess. What I would recommend is this Breville product: http://www.brevilleusa.com/milk-cafe.htmlIt is made to specifically heat milk.

Overkill. This is for mixing sauces & soups in a pot. Bad idea to try to froth milk with a big mixer.I just warm my milk in the microwave. That doesn't froth, but I just want to keep the coffee from cooling.

Yes. The blender will foam the milk to quickly and not give you the control you need.

It should warm and froth the milk at the same time. If you just want to just warm it, switch out the coil with the other replaceable spinner on the underside of your lid. Does that help?
