Can you put hot cocoa made with milk in this carafe?

I can think of no reason why not. I haven't had time to rate it yet but I'd give it 5 stars. My wife uses it daily and loves it. It stays hot all day.

As the interior is stainless steel, I am sure that you could. Just make sure that you disassemble the top to thoroughly clean!

Since it's all stainless steel inside and out, I would say YES to this question. The one issue is to be sure and thoroughly clean the rubber lid as this can collect the grungy bacteria that can form with milk products sitting against it for periods of time. The lid is the critical issue that requires good cleaning.

Absolutely. I find that cleaning it by filling it with boiling water is the best way to make sure it is totally clean of milk residue.

I don't see why you couldn't. I put hot gravy in the carafe and believe me it stayed very hot...don't forget to pre warm the carafe with hot water.

I don't the answer to your question. I returned the item because, I thought it was too small.

I no longer have my book, but I can tell you how I make it. The clear plastic part of the pot has graded cup marks. I use milk (most of the time skim, but I assume the creamier the better) and pour it into the pot based on how many cups I want to make. If I am using packets of hot cocoa I just put in one packet for every cup I am making. Plug it in, and push the button on the front. It will automatically stop when it is ready and warm....maybe 3-5 minutes. I think it comes out just perfect, but for my kids, I put a little cold milk in the mug before I pour the hot chocolate in....cools it down for them. An important thing for cleaning......when you clean, the center spinner is a magnet and milk gets trapped underneath. Just put your hand in and pull out the magnetic spinner, or you will have a sour smell/taste the next time you use it! Good luck.....if I can help you out any further, let me know......this has to be one of my favorite appliances!!!

Sorry this is late but tes it will make hot chocolate just don't put espresso in it. Use the milk frother for the milk then put the chocolate in the bottom. Pour steamed milk and a little foam on top.

I haven't used it for hot chocolate but I think if you use it with milk you need to thoroughly clean the pump mechanism after each use.

Yes it can. You will heat/froth milk and add to your hot chocolate mix & then top hot coco with the frothed/foam head.

This is a late answer, but worth mentioning http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe.htmlIt's fabulous. I also make AB's chocolate sauce by the quart for use in mocha. In fact, if you've never made hot cocoa using the syrup and milk frothed from an espresso maker wand, it's to die for.

No, I wouldn't chance it. I would heat the milk however you like (gas stove or microwave), then pour the heated milk in the pitcher and froth. It's an amazing little gadget that froths milk perfectly for a fraction of what you'd pay for a fancy electric one. Makes great Lattes and Cappuccino.

Indeed you can...I mix the cocoa wit a bit of sugar, so that the cocoa doesn't clump and add warm milk also it doesn't clump then mix in cold milk..really delicious as I like dark chocolate best.

Yes (remember to heat the milk before dissolving cocoa and add sweetener of your choice)

I have only used water since I use it in my classroom and water is cheaper! However, according to the recipe booklet that comes with the hot cocoa maker, you CAN use milk.

Yes. The Coffee is Very hot After Brewing But You Can Always "Reheat" And Froth More By Selecting The "Froth" Button. My Kids Even Like This With Their Hot Chocolate And Have Gotten Very Creative. Enjoy

You could make hot chocolate as it has heating element. Cleaning up would be difficult since it has cutting blades. ...Any recipe you have could be used

Yes it can be used to make hot chocolate if you purchase the correct capsules.

Yes u would just put the cocoa in the mug itself or in the strainer..I use it for tea, coffee, cocoa hot water

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!

No. You put all of the ingredients in the Cocomotion together, you can use milk or water, or half of each, even some other things like creamer, cinnamon, etc.. put the lid in the closed position, & push the button. The Cocomotion will heat it & mix it for you!! I love mine! I grew up with one, now I use mine all the time & have had it for 4 years ;)

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.
