can you pull shots and steam the milk simultaneously?

No. They share the same boiler. I usually have my espresso ground and pressed into the brew basket while my milk is steaming. That way I can brew the shot directly after the milk is ready. It works out well. I have had this machine for two years now and I love it! No problems whatsoever.

I would say no. The steamer heats to a different temp than pulling shots and the machine forces a cool down after steaming to get back to the shot temp. But pulling shots is so fast that you probably wouldn't need to do it, anyway.

The 800ESXL Duo-Temp™ features a steam wand designed for producing textured / frothed milk for cappuccino or latte purposes. The results will entirely depend on your technique and the type of milk being used.

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.

Yes. Pressing the "cappuccino" button twice provides steamed milk. The rotating dial on the milk container adjusts the amount of foam. The machine has a 4-stage temperature adjustment which sets the temperature of the milk. By the way, the machine will also provide plain hot water, as well.

It is not automatic (in effect you push the button to start and stop). Making espresso shots is easy. Making steamed milk for cappuccino takes a little practice. But compared to other espresso makers I've had this one is pretty easy. There are really good videos on YouTube of using this machine to make espresso and steamed milk for cappuccinos or latte's - I'd check those out if you are concerned about being able to do it.

it says you can do it, but I haven´t try it. I have try skim milk and it worked but takes longer.

No it can Not do both Steam and Espresso at the same time.. You have to manually switch the dial to either Steam Or Espresso.

There is one chamber (boiler) for the water which is used for making both the coffee and the milk. There is a value though that directs water to the steam wand for frothing milk. This allows you to heat the machine once & then control the parts how you wish.

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.

Pour the milk in and hit the "on" button. There are two attachments you can use - one to whip and one two stir.

Yes, and I am drinking a cup of coffee with a scoop right now. I add my milk first and then slowly add the powder while stirring. Stirring is key!

Yes. It has a steam wand. Grab a thermometer, get some practice in, and you'll be a barista in no time.

Yes, you can. You just have to be careful when you remove the cap, since is hot, and when you open and put water in the tank since you will get steam out of it when you pour new water in.Afetr that, though, you still have to wait a little bit for the steam to be produced again.

As much as you need. You could get the milk ready ahead of time, make the coffee and them reheat the milk to get more foam. All you need too do is to practice.

I'm sure you can, but I'd make sure you clean it well afterwards. They make a frothed that I think might serve you better with milk.

The version I have at work doesn't have a separate milk function, so you'd have to do the milk separately unless you were getting one that had the milk already in the pod. (IE, one of those versions of cappuccinos that aren't really "real" cappuccinos.) I don't think that this specific type of brewer has a milk frother attachment, although some of the newer or smaller versions would.
