Back to Basics CL400BR Cocoa Grande 60-Ounce Hot-Cocoa Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had a Cocoa Latte (the smaller model) for about 5 years now. We love it!! I stumbled upon this larger model and HAD TO HAVE IT!! We have a big family and the smaller one only does 4 cups. Even when we just had a few friends over, the Cocoa Latte was too small. This will heat, froth, and easily dispense your hot cocoas or steamed milks, and then keep them hot all day if you want. Ours has a permanent place on our counter. You can even do tomato soup in it. My only caution would be when doing spiced cider. The cider taste wouldn't come out of the pitcher, so now I just heat the water and mix the powder packet in the cup with the hot water. I have seen other hot cocoa machines on the market, but none comes close to this one. The dispensing is perfect, I don't want my little ones pouring hot drinks from a pitcher!!

Make any home more relaxing and inviting with this family-size hot-cocoa maker. The easy-to-use countertop appliance mixes, heats, and froths up to 60 ounces of richly decadent hot cocoa or creamy cafe-style lattes. After an afternoon playing out in the snow, kids will enjoy a mug of cocoa to warm up with while sitting next to a fire, or adults can mix up a batch for after dinner or when friends stop by for a visit. Simply add ingredients, secure the lid, and choose one of the selections from the user-friendly push-button control panel--heat and high speed, heat and low speed, cancel, or froth/dispense. The machine's integrated nondrip spout with an on/off lever dispenses beverages directly into any favorite mug, plus it will heat remaining contents as necessary to ensure the last cup serves up as hot and delicious as the first (shuts off automatically once ideal temperature has been reached). Other highlights include a measuring scoop inside the lid, a generous handle, a sleek design, and convenient cord storage to help keep counters looking tidy. The hot-cocoa maker measures approximately 8 by 9-1/2 by 14 inches.

Back to Basics CM300BR Cocoa-Latte Chrome 32-Ounce Hot-Drink Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love a hot chocolate at the end of a cold day, but usually it is chore to make and when using instant mixes, it didn't always come out quite right. But this little wonder fixes all of that.
You can use water or milk, add additional flavors (a touch of vanilla is my favorite) and let it mix and heat it for you. Now some have said this device was not hot enougth, but my tongue would disagree with that. I love the fact it will froth it up for you as you dispense it (a little extra sugar will make extra froth). Cleaning is no problem, as long as you clean it as you use it. Yes, if you wait till tomorow to clean it, you will need to scrub a little, but if you do it when you are done, no problem. Just run soapy water thru it and wipe away any choclate reisdue.
I have yet to try out other drinks with it, I don't like coffee and will wait for summer to try out the teas, but I expect it will be just as good.
