... on the machine to just set it in the milk and let it go, you have to hold the jug up to it. The milk doen't stay hot/warm for long, so making a decent coffee for multiple people can be a challenge and you can't all have it hot at the same time.

You can make your coffee straight into the cup or mug, but its better to use the glass jug as the special lid minimises the steam escape.
