No froth: Should I be taking it off the heat once the cap pops?

I see no reason for not being able to warm milk directly in the unit. I would leave the frother out of the vessel when doing so. Be careful when handling vessel--it is on stovetop and it is not insulated--it will get hot.

I returned the item -- the froth is microbbubbles, so if you want tiny bubbles, it is fine. I got heat only, no bigger bubbles. I gave up on frothers.

Yes. There are two ways to do it. One is with the frothing attachment and the other is with the external milk container. Both work well but I have been using the frothing attachment since it gets the milk hotter.

You have to press the butten 2x it will turn it off when you push it again both lights should be on and do both froth and heat.

You will enjoy this wonderful gadget by pressing the top button. Make shure that you use non fat milk in the mug you will be using, you don't need much, and that the wisk is in the milk. Don't want splatter all over the place.I use sweetener and put it in the milk before frothing, then pour the coffee into the mug, I don't bother heating the milk but some do. You don't need to keep in plugged in all the time either. When it slows down a bit, plug it in overnight. Good luck

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.

It only cold stirs for a 60 second time. Frothing takes place by heating the dairy product. Ice could certainly be added to the final product in the glass, however, you certainly defeated the entire purpose of frothing since that actually involves heat.

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.

All you do is pour the milk in and push the button. It heats and froths at the same time, leaving a layer of foam on the top. It shuts off automatically. I usually push the button three times because I like my milk fairly hot!

Yes, it both heats and froths , just plug it in and wait a bit , you're done!

I don't think so. I usually leave it in for about 20 seconds after the light goes off and the foam is stiffer, but the milk starts to burn against the bottom.

I've been using one of these since 2003.....love it....best froth is to warm the mil first...not hot, just warm, and with whole milk.....batteries full charged too, otherwise little happens. Enjoy!

you must purge the wand immediately after use or the milk will move up the spout and clog unit. Take a wrench and remove the nut shaped spout and clean with needle. good luck.. great water free steam if used correctly.

yes, you have to remove the cap. Its an open crock. You just slowly pour the water until the bottle is on top of the crock. I never spill:) I love my crock!

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 put it in hot water to warm it up. Doesn't seem to have issue but at the cap sometimes traps water so just wipe well before start feeding.
