could i pour in a small amount of hot milk and use the plunger to make it frothy?

I don't think so. The straining screen fits too tightly against the wall of the cup to function as an effective plunger.

Never tried it, but I honestly doubt it. Don't think it's engineered for that.

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

You can use water, milk or a combination. I use a little water to dissolve the mix and fill my cup slightly (allowing me to use a little less milk to cut calories) then add my hot frothed milk.

Yes!!! If you want it to continuously froth then I'm afraid you do! I would hold it until it got started but realized it stopped before the milk was completely frothed. So I hold it down the whole time until I think my milk is frothed enough.

Before you plunge, just add the milk and sugar. I must admit to not adding sugar but it works for the milk

No, but its my understanding that the right fat % is what makes it froth well. I tried with a dash of cream in my 2% milk and it wouldn't froth. Usually froths really nice with the 2% alone.

Yes, just be careful when unscrewing the cap because it will be HOT. Do not pull the plunger out more than an inch or so, just enough to get your condiments in the coffee.

Sure. You need to add sugar however. Heat up some milk, add about one or two teaspoons per cup and a heaping tablespoon of powder. You may need to experiment a bit to find your ideal taste.

Rice milk is fairly light so incorporating air into in should not be a problem. However, half and half is very heavy and would not foam as well. I use half and half in my coffee and use 2% in the milk frother and pour that over the top of my coffee.

Sorry, never tried milk from milk powder. I suspect that it would behave the same....you can froth in the mug itself. My wife uses a small mason jar to froth the milk and then add on top of her coffee. My wife loves this and won't ever go without again!

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.

Yes, I use it one the same burner as my mokapot. Once milk is hot, just pump 10 - 20 times. Also don't fill it more than a third full of milk or it can overflow when frothing. Hope that helps, we really like ours - great to travel with too.

I usually have a latte, adding hot milk, so not so sure. I do find when I go back for the second cup it can use a little warming.

Doubtful. You need the targeted pressure of the plunger to push the food through the tiny opening.

hi Barry, just take pref whole milk, the froth maker has two attachment for foaming. the pinner will make the foam and the inside heater will heat the milk.do not fill more than 1/4 as the foam get a lot of volume.acappucino just takes foam. aLatte milk and foam.Use a spoon to take of the foam. Otherwise pour.Jacques

Yes! You can foam or steam the milk to make your coffee any way you want it.

I use mine every day to froth 8 oz of milk. You can froth less. Over the 2 years I've used it, I found it's most efficient to scald the cold milk in the microwave (in my case, for 2 minutes) before putting it into the frothed. It's nice and hot when I use it to make my daily hot chocolate. If I were using it to make a latte or a cafe au'lait, I'd probably put about a 1/3 cup of cold milk in the frother and add it to the hot coffee.
