Does the milk container allow for easy storage in the fridge? Is the coffee temp hot enough? Is it programmable like the plus? What all is included?

I can answer the first two--yes, milk container stores well in fridge, and coffee temp is hot enough. Don't have a plus so don't know how the programming compares--you can adjust the volumes of coffee/espresso dispensed. Includes the machine, the milk jug, a sample pack of a few Nespresso pods, and an attachment for hot water in place of the milk jug.

You do not store the milk in the unit. You are supposed to use the supplied thermos to store the milk in a refrigerator when not in use (which you then just plug into the machine when foaming milk). Frankly, I stopped using the insulated thermos and just use the supplied longer milk tube to pull the milk from a regular milk container. I did this because the thermos a) doesn't hold that much milk if you are using making more than say two latte/cappuccinos and b) I find that the thermos clogs too often (resulting in big bubbles, etc.) and is just another thing that has to be cleaned. But the unit does foam the milk very easily (and produces very nice foam) and it does so without moving your cup. You do not store the milk in the unit.

Hi Dolly what would you like to know? It's pretty easy. I use milk and powered chocolate, push the button and it spins and mixes and automatically stops whe the milk is hot and ready to drink at the perfect temp. Some folks actually cut up Hershey chocolate bars and drop in for added flavor. It's a great little machine and my grandkids love it. Write me back if you have specific questions. Merry Christmas. Enjoy!

No, don't put any milks in the reservoir ; ) The milk is a heat treated milk sealed in T-discs, just like your coffee. You will place it in your brewer head & brew just as you would a coffee T-disc.

You can just heat the milk in microwave then froth the milk in the mug! So simple works great!

Would be better to store the milk in a breastmilk storage bag. Much more space friendly in your freezer! :)

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.

As far as storing your milk? I would think any kind. I used the ones from target and it worked well in the fridge but I never froze my milk since I had very little. Hope this helps.

Yes it is programmable. However the clock speeds up after 2 months of use so the program can't be trusted. I woke up at 5:00am to find my coffee had brewed sometime overnight, shut itself off and was then cold! Would not recommend

Drinking refrigerated is best, in my opinion. However, its very good when mixed in with coffee instead of a dairy sweetener.

Yes, I can confirm that it comes with a stainless steel thermal milk container and the tubing needed to connect it the the coffee center.

Very easy!! It's made for commercial use and ease of operation. There are some programable features which are explained in the easy to read instructions. Once you do that, pick the size desired, and press brew. I'm very happy with mine, and it fits nicely under my cabinets in the kitchen. I bought it for the house.

Short answer: Yes. Stainless steel is not significantly reactive in the presence of milk solids[1]. You should be able to store warm milk in this thermos. It will stay warm for several hours. Regular cleaning would be necessary, but no more difficult that cleaning milk off of anything else. Hope you have a nice winter season!

It does foam, but you cannot store milk in the machine. You have to attach it to a separate container (which you have to keep in the refridgerator until use) for milk supply.

I use a 16 oz mug and with 1.5 shots and my milk frothed, it overfills the cup, I have to take a sip to put it in. It takes just 70-80 seconds to heat and froth the Milk. I love mine so much, I just bought one for our daughter and granddaughter for Christmas. I do recommend purchasing a second insert, taking the spring off and on all the time for less froth and more froth tends to get it out of shape. I did and now I am completely satisfied. Don't know how I drank my coffee without this unit in my life.

I can only speak to heating milk for coffee. It works very well, heating the milk to 150 degrees.

The refrigerator works very well. It take it about 8 hours to reach a stable cold temperature, but once it reach it, you could certainly keep milk and eggs at an optimum temperature as a regular home refrigerator. I have ran mine for more than one week without complains.
