I bought two of these last year. Gifted one to my daughter who returned it after several frustrating tries at making capuccino. I had better luck with mine with only occasional mishaps due to poor seal between the two halves of the unit (no seal-no work). Put it up though until just recently when I tried again. This time I had a great seal but the frothing valve failed to operate. When the safety valve started whistling, I removed the unit from the heat and taped gently on the valve hoping it was just a little bit stuck. The valve erupted spewing hot water in a geyser all over the stove.I contacted the vendor (who told my daughter they had lots of returns). I'm an engineer and, although I understand perfectly the principles of the unit's operation, I consider it to be at best unreliable. At worst, hazardous.
