After the machine mixed the powder & water & warm the milk, do you've to wait for the milk temperature to go down before feeding baby?

No, just follow the directions and mix no less than 4 oz. at a time. When my daughter was just born I would mix 2 oz. while I counted to 40 seconds. Only time I had to wait is if I tried mixing without the magnet mixer it will be scolding hot!0!

It is almost perfect temp, I had to cool down a little bit but did not burned my wrists. I just don't want it to be too hot but always check before giving to baby to make sure.

Our boys never had a problem with the temperature. we've been using it for 2 months, and it still goes to 105* (a completely acceptable temp) if you're worried, splash some on your wrist- if it stings its too hot.

For my experience, its dependes on the amount of milk.... At 6 onz or more is the perfect temperture... If it is 4 onz i had to wait or turned it off before it finish by itself. I will feel the exterior of the metal cup with my finger until is hot and turn it of.

I always heat the milk first. It quickly kills the other bacteria in the milk and allows the bacteria you introduce with the starter material to work properly and more quickly

It has a "cold stir" setting. Instruction book says that setting "allows you to stir already cold or hot milk without additional heat". I think if you tried to put ice into the mixing jug you'd probably break the machine. And it doesn't chill any ingredients. But if you operated the unit on the cold setting, your cold ingredients should come out about as cold as when you put them in. The cold setting operates for 60 seconds, and you have the option of re-selecting the cold stir setting for another 60 seconds if you need to.

No, you put the water / milk and chocolate in here and push the on button. It mixes and heats it up. Also works great for protein shakes.

Yes, and I actually do this quite often. You do this by using the frother. I usually place the cocoa or chocolate syrup in the cup first, and froth the milk over it while I stir. My kids love to have their "cappucinos" along with Mom. Normally I don't think the milk gets hot enough, but I do tend to like my foods and beverages on the hotter side. For the kids sometimes I throw in half an ice cube after to let it cool down a bit.

As with most heating products (electric kettles, aeroccino) it's always better to start from cold. Why use warm milk if you are going to heat it up anyway?

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 always heat the milk to about 180 (in the microwave) before making yogurt and then let it cool down to around 100 - 110 before adding the starter. I've never tried not heating the milk.

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.

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

No. It will only reheat the milk when its temp has fallen and will heat it up again to the same point. By the way, the milk is steaming at the end of the cycle. How hot do you want it?
148226
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 should work, it gets warm so the glass bottle will get warm as well. This is what I do because the bottle takes about 15 to 30 minutes to warm up. I have notes of about every how often my baby wants milk and I have noticed is every 2.5 hours to 3 hours. Since the bottle takes 30 minutes AND i have written down my baby's last and every meal. I know when he will be hungry so I start warming the bottle 30 minutes in advance and keep it warm until my baby wakes up. NOW, since I use formula, I DO NOT insert the formula until my baby is ready to eat because sometimes it is too hot and I need some space to put some cold water to make it warm. I always carry a bottle with cold water JUST in case i need to warm it up and it is too hot. God bless all babies. Amen

I do nothing to the starter. I add it straight to the cooled milk. Make sure that the milk is cooled down to the 110 degrees!

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.

Yes you have to heat the milk up first. I don't think any of them do this step. I found it was easiest to just zap it in the microwave. It took a few tries to figure out how long to zap it but now I have a routine and it's not hard.

Yes, you can use bottle warmer, I use it and I have no problem at all with the temperature and drop ins. But just to be careful if is breast milk, you could warm the breast milk in the bag before and then put it in the drop in. That's what I do.
