Can anyone describe the usual workflow? If milk sits in the line for a while it may spoil. Do you constantly have to disconnect/clean during the day?

We have used this with our Jura Impressa XS90 coffee maker for about the past year for our house. We have at least 3-4 of the tubes and black connectors and pretty much change the tubes/connectors each morning and put a clean one on and also follow the rinse commands from the machine etc. and sometimes when prompted for the rinse we put a cup of fresh water next to the machine and take the connection out of the milk cooler and dip it in the water cup. We have had no problems with ours. Also, the milk in the cooler seems to be fine for ~ 5 days and we then dump it out and wash out the cooler every 5 days and that has been fine also.

I pull it out and put it under a running open faucet. If you have the Jura Impressa Z9, I would highly recommend you remove the milk frother, pull it apart and run fresh water through it. The "Rinse Milk System" doesn't fully clean it. At first I used to disconnect the back end of the hose, put it in a container with water and press the "Milk" button, but then realized that this would shorten the life of the filters and other suppliers that are not cheap. If you do this when you are finished with a batch of coffees, you should never have to use the clean milk system solution. I pull it out and put it under a running open faucet.

Milk lasts fresh for about 3 or 4 days as it is not as cold as a refrigerator. Make sure you rinse out the hose that connects to the coffee machine after each use ( it only takes a few seconds) otherwise it can go sour in the tube. If you are doing at least two milk drinks per day, milk should stay fresh until all used up. If you haven't used it for a couple of days, or if the milk level is low, check before use as it can turn sour.

Yes... I simply rinse it after each use... Really easy and not much trouble......

Nope. I warm up the milk in a small saucepan and pour into the liner. I also re-use the liners - scrub with a bottle brush and they forever!

I have conversed with the maker and they say that keeping it in the fridge will extend the life of the product. I haven't actually needed to keep using it past the date as our daughter drinks a lot of milk. I also take ours on vacations with us keeping it in my purse for handy use, then back into the fridge when we get home. It's always worked great for her.

I solved my grainy yogurt problems by holding the milk just below boiling (between 200-210 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10 minutes. That seems to boil off most of the water that makes the yogurt grainy (and also results in a thick and rich yogurt). I envy you your cow! :)

I spilled some yogurt on it and I found that blotting (very light pressure) with a damp cloth cloth worked well and then once I got every thing up I pressed much harder to get the excess water out. it worked well. as for keeping it as black as the day you got it... well... I'm open to sugggestions. HTH.

Thank you! I have found that one cannot repeat using started yogurt--by putting one I made into the new batch. Interesting that the culture "gives out" after a few repeats.

Hello there, it usually takes around 8-10hrs at 30-35C here in EU, which is never the case here. So a Rice cooker(In Keep Warm function) or yogurt maker is required to keep the constant warm function for the duration(Mostly Overnight). The consistency tends to be on liquid side but more viscous/pouring in nature. Keeping it for more than 10 hrs in hot area will make it sour and if your temp is too low, it will take on an unpleasant flavor often associated with spoilt milk.

My old machine did that for couple of years and new one does it sometimes. I think you are ok. Sounds like it's building up pressure. Sometimes I think it gets clogged a little in the steamer and takes a little extra pressure to punch it through. Make sure you run your steamer for couple of second after you steamed your milk to clear up port.

Hi, I made my first batch of ice cream today and it was fabulous. My recipe called for 1 cup milk, and I used 3/4 cup of lactaid fat free milk and 1/4 cup of light cream. I also used some heavy cream, fresh strawberries and sweet n low (I'm not lactose intolerant, just avoid sugar). It was great, very creamy and easy to scoop, not at all runny.

My question is: do you just get the commercial yogurt and let it sit on the counter for a day? I guess as long as it is sealed other stuff can't get in there to ferment as well. I'd appreciate hearing if you have tried this.

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

I haven't left it for long, but I have made it in the morning sometimes, and not able to finish, I will let it set on the table or put it into the frig. Just shake again, and it tastes fine. I even use it in place of milk or cream in my coffee or tea.

I can't add anything to the other responses, I love this machine; however, we've been going through different brands of milk to get the best froth. We found the whole milk froth lasted the longest. "Hood" was good but this last time it was not. Expiration date was weeks in future and we just opened the container. Any suggestions out there?

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.

I put in yogurt that is thick. It doesn't seep through or anything. The liquid comes out and I remove the liquids every few hrs. depending and it's just not a mess. Don't know why, but it isn't. If I THINK it will be messy with ultra thin yogurt, either I don't attempt OR I put in a cheese cloth. But NEVER had a mess.

Mine is. I've had pretty good luck with these types of bottles. In the past, I had a couple off brand ones that leaked, but even those I think the seal got twisted or loose in the dishwasher and was able to fix. If you're taking it to work, I would just make sure it's totally dry, put my powder in and fill with water/milk once you get to work. Personally, I keep one at work with a bottle of protein mix. Good luck!

Although this is a great machine, it does take some maintenance. It does get clogged with milk over time.The pressure valve needs to be cleaned and "blown" every time you use it. Since I'm the only one that uses it, I blow into the hole where the steam comes out. A thin wire would probably work too. I also rinse it in hot water and as I do that, I pump the button up and down. Finally, take a brillo pad or something similar and scrub the opening. Not sure if that makes a difference, but I do it anyway. Looks better. I have also had to buy new pressure releases gadgets.
