DeLonghi Distinta Milk Frother

Yes, the DeLonghi Distinta is designed for both frothing and warming. You can use it to heat milk for lattes or hot chocolate without necessarily creating a thick foam layer.

The capacity depends on the function you are using. It can froth up to 4.7 ounces of milk for cappuccinos and warm up to 8.4 ounces of milk for other beverages.

The unit is designed for easy maintenance. Because the base is detachable and the interior is non-stick, you can quickly rinse or wipe it out after each use, though it is not dishwasher safe.

Yes, the automatic shutoff is a safety feature that engages once the cycle is complete, regardless of whether you are using the hot or cold frothing setting.

Yes, you can use plant-based milks. However, results may vary depending on the protein and fat content of the milk; barista-style versions of oat or almond milk typically produce the best, most stable foam.

The body is made of plastic, which generally stays cooler than metal alternatives, but it is still recommended to handle the unit by the handle or base while it is in operation.
