It looks like the size of a travel mug. Would it work to heat the milk, add a shot of espresso directly into it and drink from it?

Using as a travel not a good idea. The froth is created by magnetic bottom and so the bottom of the "cup" is really hot so you can get burned. Better to use separate cups.

I LOVE my Jura frother, and so far have only used it to froth 2% milk. BUT, I would think you could add espresso grounds to it, just clean it out well after use.

It's all metal so it gets hot. Lid fits on top but does not seal, would not work as a travel mug

No. I use it with my keurig coffee maker and it will hold the smallest, 8 oz. I believe, with room for milk. It is light and does hold the heat and I like the cup.

I haven't used it for that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. There is a little lip on the outside edge, too, which would help prevent any spillage before the milk was frozen.

Kind of... to steam and froth the milk (required for a cappuccino) you would need a separate device. Nespresso makes models that have a milk reservoir that will steam and froth milk for you, but that is not this specific model. This one does espresso (one part of the cuppiccino) and coffee

You put the milk in your coffee cup and on the side of this machine there's a 'frother' - turn a knob and the frother spits out steam to foam up and heat your milk. Works OK but be really careful not to snak the frother. It's plastic and prone to breAking. Also your coffee cup needs to be not too big or else you'll run into trouble trying to get it out from under the frother tube once the frothing is done.

it would work, but it is a large container and when you turn the handle you will get a quarter cup of m&m; or so

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!

It could be used for real, but the items are quite small...so it would take several cups to quench a thirst...

Yes. It can be adjust from small espresso cup to standard cappuccino cup, but not bigger than that.

Place the one shot holder in, and put the espresso cup in the middle, right underneath it. It looks like it will spill over the sides of the cup, but it should be just the right size. It works for me.

My recommendation is ABSOLUTELY NOT. I use this to make tea on a regular basis and to keep it hot for days-I drink that much. Milk will undoubtedly boil over. It would maintain the temperature at too high a degree. Unless you are RIGHT BESIDE IT, dairy milk will not work. If the milk has a HIGH water content, like hot chocolate made with water, you may have a great shot. I would suggest making hot chocolate with the hot water that it creates and THEN add a portion of milk afterwards, but DO NOT LEAVE iT UNATTENDED!

It is not a microwave....it is an oven...so if u use an heat proof container ...you could heat coffee. But you would have to pour it into a up to drink it

No, for several reasons. This is small, about the size of a coffee mug. No stove element is small enough. The bottom is slightly concave. The metal is too thin for that kind of heat. The original intent is for frothing milk on a cappucino machine. We use it with our Keurig since travel cups won't fit.

The entire mug is about the size of an above average coffee cup. You may be able to make it work.

It's pretty small compared to what a barista would use. It's 3.75" tall. Just enough to steam milk for a small latte. I can't go up to the fill line with anything thinner than whole milk, though, because when properly aerated, the foam will spill over the sides by the time it gets to 160 degrees F. I go to the line below the top line.

If you are doing only a cup of almond milk at a time, this might work. It is just 3-inches in diameter, and it fits nicely into a mug when steeping a cup of hot tea. The mesh is very fine, and catches all but the finest particles of tea leaves. However, if you are wanting to strain a larger quantity of almond milk, you would want a larger strainer for the job.

It makes hot water and can steam milk. You would just have to stop it from grinding or making the coffee. Or you could just make your self an espresso. While it steams the kids milk
