Has anyone tried to froth milk with it?

Pretty hard to get up to the speed to froth milk. It's a great kitchen gadget, but in my opinion..not the best one for milk. You would probably end up wearing the milk.

Buy a milk frothing pitcher. I have the 200 ml one and it works wonderfully. Froths milk much better than my cappuccino machine.

I've tried many different espresso/cappuccino makers over the years and none of the frother attachments were very good. Initially they were ok but they all got worse over time even with frequent cleaning of the frothing tube. I found the best way to froth the milk is to heat the milk first (in microwave or stove top) then place the milk in one of those French Press coffeemakers and pump the press up and down until the milk froths (pump about 8-12 times). It works every time regardless of the the type of milk you use (whole, 2%, 1% or skim). I hope that helps!

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

Almond milk will froth successfully . Just make sure you are using the coiled frothing attachment for your machine.

No, it is not recommended. Heat the milk in a mug in the microwave then pour it into the frother.

Not quite powerful enough. It struggles with whipping egg whites for example. It's definitely a milk frother.

Yes! It's one of my favorite parts about this machine. It takes a few seconds for the pump to get the steam going but it froths & heats milk well. You can even practice latte art :)

No I do not believe you can manually steam your milk. However it is very easy to just click in the froth unit right in the front and then small hose into a cup of milk. push a button and it sucks out the milk and steams it right up ...very easy! AND EASY TO CLEAN

No, it doesn't froth milk, but the latte flavors come with an additional "creamer" pod that you run just like the coffee pod and it puts a froth on the top of your cup. It's okay, but not as frothy as milk steamed would be.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

Most of the time I can get a pretty stiff froth--almost microbubbles. A few times it's failed and I end up with a small amount of large bubbles. Can't say why the difference. Definitely works better with warm milk rather than cold, at least for me. (I should say that I am limited to using a mixture of part half-and-half and part water; don't have skim milk, which would undoubtedly work better.)

I have never tried frothing twice and find no need to. The frothing accessory makes such a stiff froth it would be unnecessary, plus the volume is such that there would not be enough liquid dairy product to run the machine again. There is a "minimum" amount of dairy to run the machine.

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

I wouldn't. The bottom surface area is small so it would get very hot very quickly. With the frother the heat conducts outwardly to the container quickly as the milk heats. If you heat it from the outside in the milk might not warm before the unit becomes unmanageably hot.

I haven't, but I can't see why not as long as the burner is turned down low on one of the small burner so that the screen inside or plastic thing under the top "ball" doesn't melt. I used mine chilled and think this is absolutely the best frother out there for its price range. If I don't use all the cream froth, I put it back in the fridge and it seems to stay frothed for quite a while and then refroths the next day if needed. Its really well made and heavy duty.

I tried with Almond Milk from the Fresh Market (house brand), I used the big round device and turn on the froth bottom. It created a lot of foam. I hope you get good result.

No. This machine does not froth any sort of milk. There is a recipient behind where you put water - there is no place for milk. I heard the machine "latissima" is the only one that froth milk. I belive you would be able to froth soy milk there. You also can froth milk in the "nespresso aeroccino". Hope this helped!
