when will i buy this product? Feb 16, 2010 Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker
based on the negative reviews i have read the current price of $99 is excessive. if the product is improved so the negative reviews cease and turn into 100% positive, that might make the price more acceptable. until then i would still buy as this appears to be just about the only hot chocolate maker currently available, but only at a drastically lower price, for instance, $50.00.

So far I LOVE it! Feb 14, 2010 I was in NYC over Christmas and saw a demo of this machine while in Bloomingdales. The hot chocolate was the best I ever tasted so I was eager to own one of my own. I just received it as a gift from my husband and I JUST made our first batch. I was as good as I remember. I love it. I read a lot of the reviews and honestly I was anticipating some problems, but I experienced none.
Some of the problems I read about in other reviews:
difficulty turning the knob--in theory I can see how some people might have trouble with this. It's a bit hard to get a good grip on it, but it wasn't impossible. Not enough to NOT buy this machine, in my opinion. It's definitely do-able.
leaking--mine didn't leak at all. I was standing there just in case and it didn't even come close. I would say that I had about 3 1/2 cups of milk in there. Almost, but not quite, the 32 ounces that it holds. Perhaps if it was filled to the max the whirlpool motion might send it high enough to leak, but I didn't have this issue with the amount of milk I added.
hard to clean--this is completely false. If you clean it right after you use it you should have no trouble. I filled it with hot soapy water and scrubbed it out, taking care not to get the bottom (where the heating element/plug is) wet and I am satisfied that it's as clean as anything else in my kitchen. I supppose if you leave it and don't clean it right away it might need more elbow grease.
The *only* thing I was a little disappointed with was he lack of "recipes" in the manual. I'm not good in the kitchen with improvising with whatever ingredients I have, so I was hoping for more direction on how to make the best hot chocolate. I did experiment with what I had and I did have to tweak it a little, but the end product was delicious. So, the next time I try it, I will be more comfortable with just winging it.
Overall I am very pleased. I am glad we went with this particular model and am confident it will continue to impress. My mug of hot chocolate is waiting for me now, so I am off to enjoy it!
3a - mixing element and 3b - aerator, or just one aerator Feb 04, 2010 I just purchased the Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker. I also found a YouTube video how to use it. I tried to make a creamy drink many times, no froth at all. The thing is the manual shows two parts 3a - mixing element and 3b- Aerator.
Part 3a, mixing element, was not in the package. The model of Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker is the same as on the manual.
So what's my problem? I was so disappointed and it made so much mess that I sent it back even I am a chocolate lover and would like to get the machine.
Please help me.
Thank you

Great Milk Fother and Hot Chocolate Maker Feb 03, 2010 I'm happy with this purchase. I was originally looking for a milk frother to use in conjunction with my electric Moka Pot. I was eyeing the Nespresso Aeroccino Plus and almost bought it when I happened upon the Bialetti Hot Chocolate Maker. For about the same price of the Nespresso, I'm able to not only have froth soy milk for my coffee but also have a terrific cup of hot chocolate on those cold and rainy days like today.
I've never made more than two cups at a time before. So I have not had consistent issues with leakage from the top like some folks have reported. And I don't mind the timer knob at all - it's not difficult for me to turn it although I can see how it would be annoying to others.
All in all, I would recommend this product to my family and friends.
please help Feb 02, 2010 I'm interested in this but unclear on how it works. Is this a stovetop machine like the traditional Bialetti coffee makers (which I own and am quite happy with), or is it electric? Apologies if I missed this point in the product description or the reviews, but I didn't see this addressed anywhere...thanks!
