title_body: Is it possible to get hot chocolate using an espresso machine?
upvoted_answer: The steam wand will do a terrific job of mixing, heating, and fluffing (what's the technical term?) milk + cocoa powder into killer hot chocolate.
  
  Personally I recommend unsweetened cocoa powder, but most people probably want a sugary drink.
  
  But I don't think you'll want to use the main espresso part of the machine.
