Dualit Milk Frother Max
The Dualit Milk Frother Max is a countertop milk frother designed for households that make drinks in volume as well as variety. It froths hot and cold milk and can handle hot chocolate using Dualit's VortecS technology, which creates a high-speed vortex that thoroughly mixes and blends rather than just aerating. The froth dial gives continuous control from no froth at all through to maximum, which is more useful than the fixed programmes on most frothers in this category — the same machine works equally well for a flat white (low froth) and a cappuccino (high froth) without switching modes. Capacity runs to five cups or two mugs per batch, making it practical for making drinks for several people at once. The source data does not specify dimensions or weight.
Features:
VortecS technology for hot chocolate: Dualit's trademarked VortecS system creates a high-speed vortex that thoroughly blends chocolate into milk rather than simply aerating it, producing a consistently smooth hot chocolate without lumps or unmixed chocolate settling at the bottom.
Adjustable froth dial from zero to max: A continuously variable dial controls the level of froth from none through to maximum, giving precise control over the texture for any drink from a flat white to a cappuccino without switching between programmes or attachments.
Hot and cold frothing: Froths both hot and cold milk, covering the full range from a warm cappuccino to cold foam for iced coffee and milkshakes.
Up to five cups or two mugs per batch: The generous capacity allows enough frothed milk for five cups or two large mugs in a single cycle, making it practical when making drinks for a group.
One-button operation: A single button starts the frothing cycle, keeping operation simple regardless of which froth level has been set on the dial.

Care instructions:
After each use: Remove the jug and whisk and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing. The source data does not confirm whether the jug or whisk is dishwasher safe; check the instruction manual before placing in the dishwasher.
Hot chocolate residue: Chocolate can leave residue on the whisk and jug base. Clean promptly after use to prevent it from setting, which makes it harder to remove. A soft brush or cloth helps clean around the whisk mechanism.
Base unit: Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
What to avoid: Do not use chocolate with added ingredients such as nuts, raisins, biscuit, coconut, caramel, wafer, nougat, or similar, as these can block the whisk. Do not exceed the maximum capacity. Do not operate without milk in the jug.
Questions and answers:
What is VortecS technology and why does it matter for hot chocolate?
VortecS is Dualit's trademarked system that creates a high-speed vortex in the milk rather than a simple spinning action. For hot chocolate, this matters because chocolate needs to be blended into the liquid rather than just aerated — a standard frother whips air into the surface but may leave unmixed chocolate at the bottom. The vortex action mixes thoroughly throughout the liquid, giving a more consistently smooth result.
What type of chocolate can I use for hot chocolate?
Dualit recommend using pure chocolate only, with no additional ingredients such as nuts, raisins, biscuit, coconut, caramel, wafer, or nougat, as these can block the whisk mechanism. Plain dark, milk, or white chocolate should be used for best results.
Can I adjust the froth level for different drinks?
Yes. The froth dial gives continuous adjustment from zero froth (for heating milk without foam, suited to flat whites or hot chocolate) through to maximum froth (for cappuccinos and similar). This means you can use the same machine to produce genuinely different textures rather than choosing between fixed programmes.
Does it work with plant-based milks?
The source data does not specifically confirm plant-based milk compatibility. The VortecS technology is designed to work with dairy milk and chocolate. Plant-based milks vary considerably in how well they froth depending on their fat and protein content, and barista-edition oat or soy milks designed for frothing tend to perform better than standard varieties.
