I use mine for powdered sugar and another for dusting flour for my board... have never used them for cocoa, but I would have to say it would work well... has 3 different shaker lids that sit nestled in the actual lid... cleaning is very easy... I would purchase them again... if you have any other questions, pls do not hesitate to ask... hope this helps...

This product has an assortment of hole sizes, so you can try different ones. Sometimes you want a very light dusting of cocoa powder and other times you need something more substantial. It's extremely easy to clean because it comes apart easily. The screw-on lid is particularly nicely made-- far better than the aluminum shakers that are more common.

It is great for cocoa. It has 3 different screen inserts depending on how much you want to sift/dredge. Easily comes apart for cleaning.

I use it for cocoa powder (cappuccino drink), and it works great. Just be careful to keep it in an upright position during storage to minimize excess powder spillage.

Yes I would recommend it. Does a great job, easy to clean and NO mess. If you get a mess you're not doing it right.

It is easy to clean, however it does show oil marks from skin or greasy food. We have black so it shows more. I'm not sure about the cream colored sofa.

Anna, I'm not trying to be a smart ass but you should READ THE MANUAL...It does make hot chocolate and be sure to run it once without any product after you are done to clean the machine.....All in the manual...

it cleans up very easily, using a non-scratch cleanser such as ajax. i have only had to use that one time. normally i can soak it in water for a while, then all the 'sticky stuff' comes right off. i hope this helps!

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

the milk is only steamed for cappuccino, not hot enough for cocoa. You can get very hot water if you use the cocoa that you mix with water

It's easy to clean. My coffee supplier (Coffee A.M.) told me to run plain white rice through it to soak up the oils. Works like a charm! I've only cleaned it twice in 8 months. Really no need for any more than that.

Put liquid in, either milk or water to fill line. Add in hot cocoa & other ingredients to your liking. Put the lid on in the closed position, push the on button & it will mix itself. It'll turn off on it's own when it's been heated up to the programmed temperature. Pretty simple! Good luck! I've had mine forever, also grew up with one & now my family & I absolutely love it!! ❤

I agree with Anastasia. I like this flavor of cocoa. Of course it's not going to be deluxe gourmet with fresh chocolate shavings and whip. BUT for a quickie Keurig hot cocoa, it's pretty dang good. It's like getting the Swiss Miss or other hot cocoa packets at the market. It's just in a pod form. If you don't like, return it. Or chalk it up to experience!

yes it is very easy to clean and there is one small attachment that comes off.it is also very quiet and you can add any combination to make a froth.

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!!!

I use this almost exclusively as a coffee, cocoa and tea creamer - yes, it is clumpy but this is what I do: add about 1/4 cup of hot water to the mug, add your desired amount of coconut powder (I use up to a TB), froth with a hand held milk frother wand until the clumps are smoothed out, (10 to 30 seconds) then add coffee to the top of the mug. Delicious and creamy and frothy. I recently purchased a nespresso milk frother for my coconut powder because I plan on using it as a creamer forever! It has a great froth and it's delicious with coffee, tea and cocoa.

It is fairly easy to clean. I'm not sure if the older ones were very difficult to clean. But these very easy, the smell doesn't stay at all..

Yes, it is easy to clean. I've had it in daily use for about two months and have had no problems at all.
