Wonderful August 21, 2008
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.
 Nice quality item August 17, 2008
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.
Fun item you can probably live without August 17, 2008

Even if you are completely addicted to hot chocolate, you can probably live without this device.
That said, it is a far more entertaining way to make hot chocolate than you usually might. The plunging/spinning action is pretty clever and before I even tried making hot chocolate in it, I was pushing up and down and watching the mixing propeller spin for longer than I'd like to admit. This could definitely be a fun product for kids to mix their own hot chocolate.
The pitcher itself is quite nice looking with a simple but beautiful shape, and is large enough for several servings at a time. If you plan on hosting a lot of guests for the holidays, this would be a fun and elegant way to serve hot chocolate.
It does what it's aimed to do, and seems to do it quite well and in a unique way which is worth a 5-star rating, despite being a unitasker.
A bit too frivolous for me, personally (small enough kitchen as it is), it is now taking up space in my mother-in-laws' kitchen.

This is something you don't need, But who buys what we need!
This would make a good gift if your going to some ones house for dinner, and bring chocolate to go with it etc.
This is a good looking pitcher. it didn't make my hot chocolate frothy, but I didn't care about that.
The hot chocolate was good, and looks nice to serve in.
The top has a handle that you push up and down for the paddles to work.
It works very easy.Its plastic.
The Kids love it.
I have found many other uses for this.
I also use this for making salad dressings, and other mixes.
Just make sure you wash it right after.
I have made green tea and served it in this.
Its different and good looking.
I have used this to keep fresh orange juice, and use the paddles to mix it before serving it.
I think the parts to this are a bit cheap, but so far it has not broke.
The handle looks to me, to be plastic, but the pitcher is a very nice clear Glass.
 A Frivolous Delight August 13, 2008

Here's the thing... This is not something I would buy for myself as the NEED for it does not exist. It is however one of those fun items I wouldn't mind giving or receiving as a gift. It works well and makes delicious hot chocolate, but I can make the same hot chocolate on the stove and dirty one less dish.
The Pro's: Blends the chocolate nicely, plunges easily. The pitcher makes the chocolate easy to pour as opposed to the normal way I do it straight from the pan. Makes an eye pleasing way to serve guests hot chocolate. Makes a fair amount of chocolate at 1 liter capacity it serves a little over 4 cups.
The Con's: Some chocolate remained melted and stuck to the bottom. The metal top got a little hot as I was plunging. I never got the 'froth' I was supposed to achieve and I plunged till I could plunge no more.
Bottom Line: You can get the same results, maybe even a little better, using a pan, the stove and a French whisk. If you have a large kitchen just begging for empty space to be filled with products, this is for you. It's an attractive, efficient, yet useless kitchen gadget.
