Would this machine work to make a Chai Tea Latte? Does it actually heat it up?

I haven't tried to actually make the chai tea in the pot... I prefer to keep it strictly for my milk needs and I make my matcha the traditional way. There aren't any weird parts that would prevent you from making anything in it since the stirring / frothing piece works by external magnet so there aren't any mechanisms in the pitcher itself.

It has 2 settings-hot and warm to hot. It works great, I make one every day. It's awesome for chai lattes!

I can only speak to heating milk for coffee. It works very well, heating the milk to 150 degrees.

Yes I think it would make your Chai Tea Latte. The machine heats up the beverage as it spins it or you can set it for cold spin also. It's a wonderful little gadget and I don't think you would regret the investment...Best of Luck....Teresa

It has 2 settings; one setting makes it very hot, the other warm to hot. It works absolutely awesome for chai lattes, I make one every day.

Heats the milk on high or low, or you can choose not to heat milk when it makes froth

I've never actually put the tea in the machine, but it makes perfect, hot frothed milked to add to a well-steeped cup of chai tea.

Yes. It heats the contents and spins to keep it from burning. You can use the wire frother disc if you want. I sometimes reheat my coffee/latte in it. I hope this helps.

Yes and yes! The only problem we have had with it is the frothing issue I wrote about in my review. We have madeChai lattes with it in the past.

Yes. It has a steam wand. Grab a thermometer, get some practice in, and you'll be a barista in no time.

I have not seen tea for this machine. You can make regular coffee by adding hot water to the express. I absolutely love mine!!!! Best cappuccino machine I have ever had.

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.

It has a reservoir of hot water that you can dispense as needed, into a cup or pot, and use to make tea. The machine only heats and dispenses water, and works quite well for that purpose. You can set it to several different temps.

Yes!! It works amazingly well. I have had this machine for over a year now and Iove it!! Friends frequently want just the frothed milk and they are amazed at how perfect every drink turns out. Every cup is hot and perfect. I do maintain it well though; whenever it says to descale the machine I do as instructed. Very easy to maintaine. I would never live without one now and it paid for itself after six months!!

No. I don't think that would be a good idea. However , it does keep my coffee and tea hot, then nice and warm for up to two hours. I love it!

If you keep the coffee maker (not espresso side) on for at least half an hour it does heat up the cups but only slightly. The espresso side turns itself off. If heating cups is a high priority this might not be the machine for you.

Yes. I use a different kind of teapot warmer (it's glass) but, I looked the one you listed up and it seems like they all function the same. You should be good. Enjoy :)

yes you can. There's a separate button for heating. It doesn't get as hot as I like it, but may suit you. Please be aware that I am not recommending this product. I wrote a negative review about its quality. It stopped "spinning" 3 weeks after I first purchased it. Of course I called because it was still under warranty. They replaced it BUT I HAD TO PAY THE SHIPPING to return the non-functional unit. The second one has stopped working after ~ six months. It's still under warranty, but they said I would still have to pay the shipping. I'm not replacing it and gave it a bad review. It's too bad. I really enjoyed my home-made lattes. But their return policy is wrong and i won't support them. More than you asked, but thought you should know. hope it helps.

No...it's a terrible product and so disappointed. I actually trash it! I would not give the machine to anyone as I was afraid a child may get burned with it. The machine gets very hot!!

Absolutely! For the money I definitely think this machine is not even comparable to the Shark "steamer" which just pushes a lot of warm water around. The main drawback is that it doesn't hold very much water. Use only distilled water and be very careful refilling as it is truly steam!

That's what we use it for. After writing the review, I called customer service and requested an exchange, hoping that this one was defective. I post a new review when I receive and try the new one. As it is, you can make tea. If you add a lot of cold creamer to your coffee, you may find that it is not hot enough.

I haven't tried it myself, but it is doubtful that it would provide good results. Most teas call for just under boiling water and steeped at three minutes, give or take. I don't think the Keurig get's quite that hot, but more importantly, it won't steep the tea. It'll just drip water through the tea.You might use the Keurig to heat water, and then steep the tea in the hot water it makes. Might not be quite hot enough, but the results will likely be better than 'brewing' it in that little k-cup strainer thing.

hmm not sure, all i know is you have to have the machine on for atleast 30 mins before getting a hot cup of espresso

It does not brew tea, it heats the hot water and dispenses it for tea. It will dispense as much as you want at a time.

Yes! I use it for Chai as well. It is simply adding air to the liquid this causing a frothing effect. And it works great.
