Back to Basics CM300 Coffee Maker

Okay ..I have to admit we used it a lot at first and now not as much but I still love this machine. It is easy to clean and small enough to not clog up your cabinet or counter space. It has a small blade that turns and warm up the drink inside. It shuts off when done. My mom actually uses it to warm up the grand kids milk bottles because she does not like to use the microwave and they love it! Basically any kind of drink that uses milk can be made in minutes! My husband uses it for cappuccino. I make chai teas with the chai powder mix. You can make hot chocolate too. It takes the guess work out of boiling it too long, not heating it enough, or potential pots boiling over. If you hate heating milk on the stove and getting the film on top, buy this! The dispenser is convenient too.

It is easy to make, heats to drinkable temperature, but it is a little difficult to clean because liquid adheres to the bottom.

This is a great item. I bought it for my Mother for Christmas and since then she has used it almost everyday. You put the ingredients in and then just turn it on. It mixes and heats perfectly every time. Then you have your favorite hot beverage. It also will re-heat or froth. One tiny thing which really does not bother me but might bother someone else is that it leaks one little drip sometimes.

This is excellent for my 10 year old grand daughters, but I love it myself. We sometimes use just milk and cocoa, but there are a bunch of recipes that came with it and the ones we tried were good. Sort of a set it and forget it type of thing. I will say the reason I gave it a good and not an excellent was because I was excited about the 'frothing' feature and it really doesn't do much. Also there is a tiny drip from the tap, but that could be just my machine. Teaches the kids to measure and fix without much mess. I am really glad I bought this for them! Another thing, I feel that the price I paid was small in comparison for an unused toy or something and this will be used!

Seller did not send me my cocoa maker. Saw a demonstration at the mall and went directly to Ebay to purchase. It has been close to 1 month since I sent the money to seller. Very DISAPPOINTED.
