Know before you buy
Yes, the device is designed to handle hot chocolate. You can add your chocolate pieces or powder directly into the milk while the mixing disc is engaged, and the unit will heat and stir it into a smooth, consistent drink.
The frothing disc is designed to incorporate air into the milk for a light, airy foam suitable for cappuccinos. The mixing disc is intended for drinks that don't require foam, such as hot chocolate or lattes, ensuring ingredients are blended without creating excess bubbles.
Yes, the stainless steel milk jug is dishwasher-safe. However, ensure you remove the magnetic disc before placing the jug in the dishwasher to prevent it from being lost or damaged.
Yes, the Choc & Cino features a dedicated cold froth setting. This allows you to create a thick, cold foam for iced lattes or cappuccinos without heating the milk.
The jug has a total capacity of 700ml (approximately 23.67 ounces). For best results, always ensure you stay within the internal fill lines to prevent overflow during the frothing process.
While the device works with most milk types, dairy milk with a higher protein and fat content typically produces the thickest, most stable foam. Plant-based milks labeled 'barista edition' generally perform best if you are looking for café-style results.
