Should the cafe latte setting brew coffee and froth milk at the same time? I can only froth milk on the heat & froth setting.

No.....you have to have it set on cafe latte. The heat and froth is only for re-heating and frothing.

Strange. The "frothing wand" should spin when using the cafe latte setting--just as it does in the heat & froth setting. If it's not it may be defective.

Yes. When you select the cafe latte setting, both the coffee section and the milk section are started.

Yes, to brew coffee with froth you use the "cafe latte" setting.The heat & froth setting is to RE-heat and RE-froth only.Maybe the whisk doesn't work properly on the "cafe latte" setting.?Maybe the type of milk you're using is reducing the amount of froth you're receiving.?Either way, the froth and coffee should be brewing together and if it's not, then the item is not working properly.

I just frothed my morning cup. I heat milk in microwave 2 minutes then froth, very hot milk does best.

I see no reason for not being able to warm milk directly in the unit. I would leave the frother out of the vessel when doing so. Be careful when handling vessel--it is on stovetop and it is not insulated--it will get hot.

Yes you can lattes with it. The machine has a steamer as well to steam your milk. This is a manual machine that pumps steam and hot water under pressure. The coffee tastes great. You can do a youtube search and see it working. It was a great value.

I heat my milk in the microwave (in a pyrex measuring cup) before frothing and it works just fine. I don't want to add cold frothed milk to my hot coffee. Just keep in mind that the milk volume will almost double, so the container you froth in needs room to allow for this. This is handy to take on trips too. Even camping

Yes, it both heats and froths , just plug it in and wait a bit , you're done!

Warm the milk, keep the frother at the top of the liquid......and we tip the cup a bit as we froth. Sometimes it doesn't froth for us either.

I have this same machine and I only use whole milk. It froths mine beautifully. I did once try half and half and that did not froth, but no issues with the whole milk.

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.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

Does your milk get hot or does nothing at all happen to your milk? I find that certain milks do not froth well so while I get hot milk I do not get frothy milk. Have you switched milks?

if you are trying to froth milk for coffee you can choose either to heat it or not. For heating the time to completion obviously varies depending on how warm the milk is at the beginning and how much milk there is in the frother. it would take less time if you did not want to heat it but either way it is less than a minute. Not sure about the 12 oz part. We just make enough to cover top of coffee

There are two frothed attachments: one has the round spring and the other is a little plastic piece. For lattes use the plastic piece and you can fill it to the max. For cappuccino 's use the spring but you need to keep it at the min level. Make sure lid is on good and rubber gasket is not defected. It ha happened to me on occasion . Trial and error but I love it. Hope this helps

We always make cappuccino, not latte, but the foamy milk is a fine temp. We LOVE this machine and use it every day and their customer service was excellent when we did have a problem. I think you will be very happy with this machine.

I usually use 1 percent milk and it works great. I'm sure half & half or cream would froth even better. I love it!

I sure can't tell you exactly, since I add milk before I have my first cup... I can tell you that when I did add my milk, the temperature of the coffee was just perfect. Sorry I can't be specific to answer your question.

You will enjoy this wonderful gadget by pressing the top button. Make shure that you use non fat milk in the mug you will be using, you don't need much, and that the wisk is in the milk. Don't want splatter all over the place.I use sweetener and put it in the milk before frothing, then pour the coffee into the mug, I don't bother heating the milk but some do. You don't need to keep in plugged in all the time either. When it slows down a bit, plug it in overnight. Good luck
