Editorial Reviews:
|
Considering people's love affair with chocolate, we designed a delightful chocolate jug with unique blender-qualities. The manual blender of the 40 oz. jug mixes the chocolate powder and milk in a smooth way producing an uncongested froth. The cleverly devised manual blender consists of a propeller attached to a spiral rod making it a fun-to-use tool and ensuring the best mixed chocolate milk - the "sinful temptation" par excellence! The jug turns into a multi-purpose object as soon as the lid is removed, carrying any liquid from milk to lemonade to water. The handle and the jug are made of heat-resistant, see-through borosilicate glass. The lid is made of stainless steel and plastic with a silicone gasket for better tightness. All parts are dishwasher safe. The manual blender can be fully disassembled for better cleaning.

Summary: Great for frothing chocolate and making a mocha
Comment: I am usually not a single purpose small kitchen appliance purchaser --- as they take up a lot of room and serve a single purpose and therefore, infrequently used. However, this item is versatile from making hot chocolate to frothing milk/mocha for a faux latte or mocha. The versatility of the pitcher to be microwavable makes it an all-in one small applicance of great versatility. Worth a try for those who love hot chocolate and frothed milk-related drinks.

Summary: For Hot Chocolate Lovers Only
Comment: If your idea of hot chocolate involves brown powder and boiling water, don't even bother. This product is intended for connoisseurs willing to go through Hot Chocolate: 50 Heavenly Cups of Comfort or Hot Chocolate trying every recipe, using Ghirardelli 70% Cacoa Extra Bittersweet Baking Bar, 4 Oz and Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz, recipient of the most praiseworthy (not to mention the strangest) reviews in Amazon history.
The product definitely works as described but as other chocolate lovers have pointed out, seems singularly unnecessary. Its only advantages are look and fun: it is a nice looking server with an irresistibly fun way to froth.
Defects? The top is too loose to froth without holding it down from on top; pull up on the handle while holding the pitcher by the side, and you will get a face full. Less forgivably, there is no booklet of several hot chocolate recipes included to try. Of course hot chocolate connoisseurs will already have plenty, but newbies are left to struggle on their own, a surprisingly stupid lapse.
Bottom line? Mine is going back in the box.

Summary: Very cool device...
Comment: At first I thought this was a bit overboard, but thought.."ok, I will give it a try". There are a few reasons why I give this device 5 stars. First, it is really cool looking. The pictures don't really do it justice. Also, the hot chocolate that comes out of it is actually better than a spoon mixed cup...maybe this is related to my first point, but it does froth it which is nice. Finally, the kids love this device. They are so excited to see it come out and it makes a normal hot chocolate into more of an event. Love the device and would recommend.

Summary: Wonderful
Comment: Great product. So easy to make hot chocolate. My kids love to help and this product is so easy my kids can do it themselves - with a little help of course. The size is convenient. Not too big but enough for our family of 5 to each get our own cup full. The handle makes it easy to hold and pour.

Summary: Nice quality item
Comment: I have not yet tried the included recipe for making a chocolate drink but I did make a batch of soy milk in it and also it would be very good for keeping juice in, like orange juice that needs to be shook or stirred before pouring. The glass pitcher itself is attractive and microwavable so even if you don't use the mixing paddles you'll still have a handy little glass pitcher.
