Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics CM300BR Cocoa-Latte Chrome 32-Ounce Hot-Drink Maker
Customer Review: Starbucks quality hot chocolate @ home
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this item as a gift and it was the best present anyone could have given me! Not an item I would typically buy for myself, this hot cocoa maker has changed the way I feel about hot chocolate and other warm beverages. It is so easy to use allowing anyone to make Starbucks quality hot chocolate (and other beverages) out of store-bought powders at home. It's AMAZING!!! And every time it heats it to the perfect temperature making sure that even the youngest don't burn their tongues.
This appliance, like the Back to Basics Smoothie Maker, is the perfect gift for that someone who has everything and for anyone who loves a the perfect cup of hot chocolate after a long day.
Customer Review: Wonderful device!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had this device for 5 or 6 years now. It has been great! We use it for hot cocoa and latte. We buy the Folgers or Hills Bros cappuccino mix as well and add milk instead of the water and let it go, extremely tasty and is always hot! Finally after all these years of continuous use it has finally taken its last stand and I am on here to purchase a new one! Love it.
To some of the complaints on here regarding spilling or cord too short, my answer to those people is, there is a max line for you to measure by and where else would you be using this besides a kitchen that you would need more than 2 feet of extension cord?
Great device, highly recommend!
Customer Review: A Great Little Cocoa Maker!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a real problem with some of the reviews, However I purchased the Cocoa-Latte maker anyway. I'm really glad i did. I don't know why these people are giving it such bad reviews. I think it works great! It really heats up the cocoa good. It was very hot. I had to wait a little while for it to cool down. I've had no problems with it so far. It cleans up really easy also. The two pieces do come apart. The spout is also removable. The way these people talked really made me weary of purchasing it. It's also backed by a 1 year warranty against defects. I guess you can't please everyone!!!!!So what if you can't put it in a dishwasher. People have become so spoiled it isn't funny.Customer Review: works fine for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only had this a few weeks, but I've already used it several times. So far, no complaints at all. It mixes the coffee or hot chocolate mix very well, no lumps or graininess, and the temperature is fine. I haven't had a chance to try any of the recipes included yet, only used mixes. It froths the drinks up well, too, and I like that it keeps reheating and restirring the contents until you turn it off. I don't find it difficult to clean either as long as you do it fairly quickly. I can see problems might occur if you allowed it to sit so long that the "stuff" left in the bottom dried. But so far, I've been very happy with this small appliance.Customer Review: No more 2.75 lattes from Dunkin Donuts for me!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only used it 3 times so far but found it very easy to operate. I love the Caramel Swirl Lattes from DD but 2.75 is a bit expensive. Hershey's now makes a caramel flavored syrup so I use that to make my latte. The milk does stick a bit but nothing I can't handle. The convenience of making my own lattes at home sure beats having to go through the drive through at DD. I really didn't find it that hard to clean and mine is not that noisy. For a single serving it only took about 4 minutes for it to heat to a just right temperature. I'm going to get one for a friend for Christmas as she is the one who got me hooked on the lattes in the first place.
