Do you use the piece with the plastic tube coming out for the hot chooclate? Is that just for frothing milk?

I believe it is just for frothing as when I have used that part, the chocolate is a lot more frothy.

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.

After 2 months it stopped working. I only used it about 5 times a week. Very disappointed with it. I suggest you send it back.

For how I use it, definitely. I just place a little creamer in the bottom of my cup, micro for 10 sec and froth away. An immersion would be way too big and powerful. This us a good frother!

No. No problem its easy to clean and makes excellent froth. FOLLOW Directions though!

not on its own. you heat it on your stove. it is meant to froth the milk once you've heated it. Hope that helps.

I use mine every day to froth 8 oz of milk. You can froth less. Over the 2 years I've used it, I found it's most efficient to scald the cold milk in the microwave (in my case, for 2 minutes) before putting it into the frothed. It's nice and hot when I use it to make my daily hot chocolate. If I were using it to make a latte or a cafe au'lait, I'd probably put about a 1/3 cup of cold milk in the frother and add it to the hot coffee.

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.

Yes, as others have said, there are two disks - one for creating froth and the other just for heating the milk. Both circulate the milk to keep it from scalding as it heats.

Yes, I only make hot chocolate from it and my husband is the coffee lover. It makes an amazing frothy hot chocolate!

If you're asking if there is a separate chamber for milk, there is not. There is a frothing wand on the side, with steam from the central chamber.

I've found that there are different opinions of what is hot. When I order steamed milk or hot chocolate I ask for extra hot as I otherwise consider it warm that said, what I do with my Froggers is run twice but don't usually need a full froth the second time around. I'm also careful to watch on the second froth that it doesn't foam over.

Probably its not hooked properly. There is only one outlet. If it "shoots all over" , milk is coming out of the attachment which is not hooked as the lower part need to snap in for the steam cleaning after you are done. What I have seen that temperature of froth is pretty low as compared to espersso. I end of microwaving the cup prior to making coffee as the steam wand does not make a nice froth like carafe. Catch 22: good froth but low temperature. Nevertheless, make sure carefe is hooked BOTH inlet at the top and lower part. You should hear a snap sound. Good luck

Yes it heat and foamed the milk but mine only lasted a few months and then quit working. I wouldn't buy it again. Wasn't worth it.

I'd be worried about scalding the milk next to the element. I added a customer image to show the element is set in the plastic. I've been considering heating a cup set in boiling water.

I bought a metal cup that made it easier to steam milk. I also bought a metal tamper b/c the plastic one didn't do as good a job. Otherwise, just coffee. It works well. I got rid of my Keurig and am very happy with this appliance.

If you don't put the frothing piece on it will heat the milk well and with no burning. Mine is still great.

I love this machine BUT I would not use milk in the hot shot. I believe its too hot and milk might plug up the system if not cleaned out immediately.

I don't use it. But if I would use it. I would clean the ti daily. The frother is made of two parts. The tip and the attachment to the metal pipe. The attachment can also be removed if needed.
