What is the red cap under the grate for? Also the small red cup under the frother when the tray is removed?

The red cap is the high level indicator for the drip tray. When the liquid level rises in the drip tray, the red cap will float and rise as a result. When you can see it sticking above the tray cover through the hole, it's time to empty the drip tray. (I never let mine get that high). The small red cup is a condensate trap. It will catch a little water that may drip down from the pump area whenever the big drip tray is removed for emptying.

It's the float for the tray and used grinds. Light comes on when it needs emptied.

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

The only potential point for food to contact the top red motor unit is a 5/8" hole in the top center of the clear plastic lid where the shaft of the blade unit passes through. I have not found food getting onto the bottom of the motor unit to be a problem, but could be wiped with a damp cloth. Everything else is submersible/dish washer cleanable.

You have to remove the tray from a keurig but it fits under it. Not sure if that helps.

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's a milk frother attachment, that has to be fixed to the end of the frothing wand (of espresso machine). Standalone, it cannot be used to froth milk.

To froth the soap/shave cream. But the plastic container the soap comes in works better

There is a red plug that you keep in the spout. The fat naturally rises to the top of the container and the liquid to the bottom, so while pouring, keep the red thing in til the last second, then pull it out and it keeps the fat from coming out of the spout. I don't get it, but it works.

No, the red stopper is only used to keep an air pocket in the spout for when separating fat from the liquids you want to keep. Basically I use it in je following fashion. Pour my liquids from my roasting pan through the gray strainer and into the measuring cup with the red plug inserted into the spout... This will prevent the fats from getting into the spout. Put the measuring cup/separator into the fridge to help it cool faster and once the fat has separators it will float to the top as its lighter than "water". It should be hardened and white. Now pull out the plug and pour the liquid contents out through the spout.

It's glass. I really liked this frother, but I switched to another brand that I like even more: Breville Milk Café. The TEC from Capresso has a black coating on its interior base just under the frothing disk. It must be something like Teflon, because it's coming off like Teflon does. It's a good frother, though, but I wasn't comfortable using the TEC, so I opted to spend a little more to get another frother, and honestly I've been a pretty happy camper with the Breville. The Breville is all stainless, and the frothing disk is a sturdy one that pops on and off a metal protrusion in the base of the device. Very simple. Very good. Easy to clean. It's glass.

I believe there is an air space between inner and outer layers of the cup.probably allows for pressure changes and draining of trapped water should someone have disobeyed orders and put it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't give it too much thoight.

Probably its not hooked properly. There is only one outlet. If it "shoots all over" , milk is coming out of the attachment which is not hooked as the lower part need to snap in for the steam cleaning after you are done. What I have seen that temperature of froth is pretty low as compared to espersso. I end of microwaving the cup prior to making coffee as the steam wand does not make a nice froth like carafe. Catch 22: good froth but low temperature. Nevertheless, make sure carefe is hooked BOTH inlet at the top and lower part. You should hear a snap sound. Good luck

I have a Mister Coffee machine that looks exactly like this. When my frother clogs, I remove the plastic sheath and unscrew the metal nozzle, ream it out with a straight pin and replace it. In day-to-day use, I let the frother blow into open air for a second after I remove the frothing cup before I switch the flow back to the carafe. I also remove the plastic sheath and flush it with tap water and wipe down the metal frother shaft with a damp paper towel after every use. If you don't do any immediate cleanup like this, the frother clogs up quickly.
