 My kids are very fond of cocoa and hot chocolate, and I do not like to cook it. More precisely, the way it should ideally be, I never succeeded. And since this is a useful product, especially for children, I thought about buying a unit that would do it myself. So my choice fell on the Gastroback 42359.
Gastroback 42359 Milk Frother and Hot Chocolate Machine
Here it is in the box
The packaging is of high quality, protects the device well, so that long-distance shipments can not be afraid
Here is its complete set
The exterior is very stylish - chrome-plated stainless steel, clean lines, nothing more. German design. The buttons are rubberized, easy to press.
On the inside of the bowl, for convenience, there are marks "MIN", "MAX", "MAX (MILK)", by which it is convenient to navigate how much milk you need to pour for preparation
Specifications:
Model: 42359 “Design Milk & Chocolate Advanced”
Voltage source: 220-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Power consumption: maximum 650 W
Minimum 1 W in ready-to-run mode (with all buttons lit)
Power cord length: 80 cm
Weight: 1.7kg
Dimensions: 190 * 140 * 252 mm (width * depth * height)
Usable volume: 300 ml (milk froth) 600 ml (hot milk, hot chocolate)
Reached temperature: 67 gr. Celsius (hot chocolate 77 gr. Celsius), fluctuations +/- 5 gr. Celsius
Declared functions:
Warming up and obtaining textured milk, preparing hot chocolate and other delicious drinks. Upon reaching the temperature and time set by the program, the device turns off automatically with a sound signal
Functions:
The device can operate in 4 pre-programmed programs:
1. Cold foam
To do this, press and hold the third button from the left for 2 seconds. The button will be highlighted in blue
Cooking time: 2 minutes (120 seconds)
From a maximum volume of 300 ml, 1 part milk and 2 parts froth are obtained
I tested this function on the minimum amount of milk (designation on the bowl) and this is what I got:
I put currant jam in a glass with cold frothy milk and stirred it so that you could visually understand how much froth and how much milk was made. Impressive, isn't it?
2. Hot foam
To do this, you need to quickly press the third button from the left. The button will be highlighted in red
Cooking time: 3.5 minutes (210 seconds)
From a maximum volume of 300 ml, 1 part milk and 2 parts froth are obtained
The temperature of the resulting mixture is 67 g. Celsius
I tested this function on a minimal amount of milk and this is what I got:
3. Hot milk
Second button from left
Cooking time: up to 6 minutes (360 seconds)
From a maximum volume of 600 ml, 1/5 of the froth is obtained and the rest is milk
The temperature of the resulting mixture is 67 g. Celsius
I tested this function on the amount of milk up to the MAX level and then added it to the coffee, as you can see from my photo. Indeed, the foam is much smaller, the top rotates visually much slower. But this function is intended for obtaining hot milk to drink with cookies, for example, and not for adding to coffee in order to obtain cappuccino or latte.
Here is my photo report:
4. Hot chocolate:
First button on the left
Cooking time: up to 7 minutes (415 seconds)
Maximum volume 300 ml without a chocolate basket and 600 ml with a chocolate basket plus 2-4 pieces from 100 g of chocolate bar
The temperature of the resulting mixture is 77 g. Celsius
On the first day, we prepared 5 portions of hot chocolate and every time we got an excellent result. See photos
This device cost me from a German Amazon to the UK 87.72 Euro (device price) plus shipping.
So, in conclusion:
Advantages of the device:
- Laconic design, most of the device is made of stainless steel with chrome effect, stylish appearance;
- The top rotates by induction;
- The jug has an ergonomic design, a comfortable heat-resistant handle;
- The device is quiet in operation, only the operation of the induction fan is audible;
- All working parts of the device are very convenient to wash - the bowl is single, without built-in small elements at the bottom. The top is perfectly disassembled for washing;
- The temperature of both hot and cold milk corresponds to the one declared by the manufacturer, and the drink turns out to be really hot (in my opinion, my Jura coffee machine suffers from insufficient hotness of a cappuccino or latte) or cold, respectively;
- Milk froth is obtained with excellent stability;
- All the time and temperature indicators declared by the manufacturer, the device withstood "excellently".
Minuses:
- Have not found yet.
We only have the device for a few days, but we use it every day, because it is very convenient, easy to use and easy to clean. Me and my children are very happy
Delicious hot chocolate!
