I only will be making froth for one serving at a time. Will it work if I fill below the minimum as long as disc is covered?

I've filled to slightly below the minimum line and it works fine. I think if volume gets too low, the spin disk will push most of the milk up the wall so it won't be heated or frothed very well. I haven't tested to see how little volume will still work well.

Hi, it did not work under those conditions. Given the product is somewhat expensive and doesn't state that the user must make random adjustments to try to get it to do what it is supposed to - froth milk, I don't think all the trial and error makes sense. Somewhat related, it does not work with soy milk.

We have found that you can cut the minimum amount about in half and it will still works. Perfect amount for a single mug with an expresso shot.

Yes it will work... I tried it. You can make really small amount of milk. What i can't understand us why they have this minimum limit.
86853
I don't think it works unless you fill it to the minimum line, but you can put the extra milk in the fridge to use later for something else.

I never operated the frother without using at least the minimum amount of milk. I just dispose of any heated milk i don't use. I'd rather do that than take a chance of possiby damaging the frother.

This is a great device, just put the milk in at the min, level use what you need, put the pitcher in the fridge, add more milk , later and your ready to go, I've hade this frother for over a year and it is great, I use it two are three times a day,

I have found that frothing 3oz of 2% milk will typically yield foam+milk of about 4.2 fl oz. You can actually get a bit more if you run it once to heat it, then turn it to cold and run it for another 60s. I have at occasionally seen 3oz turn into 6 oz of pure froth, but I have not figured out how to reproduce it (all factors were the same as far as I know).

Yes, you can. You need to use the heating only disc attachment instead of the frothing disc.

For how I use it, definitely. I just place a little creamer in the bottom of my cup, micro for 10 sec and froth away. An immersion would be way too big and powerful. This us a good frother!

are you sure you are using the correct fitting for frothing? Its the wire circular one? I've had my machine for about 6 months and love it, it seems to froth really well?

I'd send it back...if setting 2 overfills, it's defective. Mine goes almost right to the top with the 2 setting, with a grind of 8 or 10. I use a variety of refillable k-size cups.

I returned the item -- the froth is microbbubbles, so if you want tiny bubbles, it is fine. I got heat only, no bigger bubbles. I gave up on frothers.

I don't believe there is a minimum amount. I have made as little as one cup of rice and it came out fine. I did, however, find that the amount of liquid recommended by Breville is too little. They recommend once cup of liquid per cup of rice. I found that it comes out much better with two cups of liquid to one cup of rice.

I bought the Update International EP-12 stainless steel frothing jug 12 ounce on Amazon. It works well as its not too deep.

I do not know the exact number of ounces that it will froth at once, but there is a different amount you add for frothing a latte vs. a cappuccino - there are lines marked inside that you fill to. Just generally speaking, it is enough for one serving at a time. I have it in the office and it is fine to froth for each individual's drink - it is pretty fast, so not generally a problem.

I fill mine up, let it filter to the bottom and then top it off until totally full to the line at the lid. NO PROBLEM

It only dispenses froth out of its automatic frother. There is an option to froth as much as you can hold in the milk container on the unit. Or as little as you want.

There are two different stirring attachments. The smaller one stirs. The larger one with the wire will make a nice froth.

Should keep it full - but can keep it less than full (enough to make what you are brewing). Problem is the "ring" of particulate matter that that forms from tap water, keep it at the top.

I used creamer but not that much. It turns into more froth that you'd expect

There are two marks on the carafe and you can fill it up to those marks or less, never to exceed the top mark...and at least to cover the frothing disk. I love mine and use it practically every day.

It certainly would aerate it and make it lighter but not sure how much froth. If the mixture could be frothed with your electric beater it would with the frother as well! Picture it as a very mini liquid beater. Hope this helps.

If you fill it make the larger cup its about 4 oz. and you have an additional 2 oz. of steamed milk. making the steamed milk is easy, but you don;t have time to make a lot, which is disappointing if you like a lot of froth
