5.0 out of 5 stars Great Milk/ hot beverage frother, February 19, 2011

This review is from: Back to Basics CM300BR Cocoa-Latte Hot Drink Maker, Brushed Silver

I have had this product for 4 years now and use it at least once a week. I am a medical student and use it to froth hot chocolate or milk while I am studying. My favorite feature of this frother is that it will keep your beverage hot for as long as you need it to, and automatically refroth every 30 mins or so. This means that I can set it up at the beginning of a study session and my hot beverage refills are waiting for me every time I need a study break. I am an ex-coffee shop employee, and while the frothed milk is not quite as good as steamed milk, the convenience of having a machine to automatically froth and heat the milk for me when I don't have time to steam milk is well worth it.

This machine is great for company as well. Because of my coffee shop training my friends always expect cafe style beverages when they come by to visit. I run this machine simultaneously with my coffee machine, and espresso machine so that I can make any beverage my guests request quickly without getting stuck behind the steaming wand for the whole evening.

My best advice for keeping this machine functioning well is to make sure your guests know not to submerge the server (top part) in water (the base of the blending basin contains the heating apparatus).

After 4 years of consistent use my machine has started to slow down a little and I am currently purchasing a replacement so that I am ready to switch the machines out the second the first one gives out.

This is a great product! It mixes the milk (or water) with the coco mix so smoothly that it is like it was pre-mixed in the factory. It really does get it to the perfect temperature. Not too hot to burn your tongue or mouth, but not too cold to taste like chocolate milk. It is very fast, about three minutes. And it is very easy to clean. There is nothing bad about it at all! You can even make coffee with this machine. Simply pour in water, and instant coffee mix turn it on and whala, it is warm and mixed in minutes! Best product I have ever purchased! I would recomend anyone who wants to simplify the process of making ANY hot beverage. And if you have trouble stiring the milk/water and the coco/coffee powder togeather, well it is your lucky day becasue it comes out very smooth and blended. And for hot coco if you like it frothy, there is a special function that is easy to use to make it nice and frothy. And if plain style is your thing. Well leave the feature off and it is as non frothy as possible. It also saves time by mixing and heating at the same time in less than four minutes. If you like hot coco, coffee, or any other warm drink here is your product. And with the affordable price it is not that hard to get.

The only reason that I didn't give it a 5 is because it can be a hassle to clean. Whenever I use something that melts it always gets stuck to the bottom of the container. Besides that it's great
