HELPFUL HINTS
• Protein: The protein content of milk differs from one type and brand
to another. Lower protein content can considerably reduce the
amount of foam produced.
• Fat: The fat content in milk also plays a role. The higher the fat
 content,therichertheavor.However,ifthereistoomuchfat,the
milk may not froth as the protein cannot support the bubbles.
5

• Skim milk has more protein and less fat than whole milk. Frothing
skim milk will produce more foam with larger bubbles, making it light
and airy.
• Soy or Almond milk: As some people have dairy allergies, this is a
great alternative due to the low fat content, and it provides lots of
froth.
• Be sure to thoroughly clean the inside of the Mixing Container after
each use as cocoa powder may settle in the bottom and adhere to
the heating element that can build-up with subsequent use. This
build-up will affect the performance of the Hot Chocolate Maker. See
the Care and Cleaning section.
