Not a happy customer!!! I have had nothing but problems with this…..ordered on January 6, 2017 and from the beginning, it hasn’t foamed or heated the milk/froth the way a much less expensive espresso machine has done consistently in the past…..unfortunately I can’t find the older model any longer!I am trying to contact the company and haven’t had much luck….please if anyone from the company reads these reviews, please contact me!
