I haven't tried it for coffee yet, but I'm having problems steaming milk. Basically, my milk never gets frothy the way it does in restaurants. I get more froth by scalding the milk in a saucepan. The instructions recommend whole milk; I used non-fat because that's what I drink. Could this be my problem? I also noticed some steam escaping between the top and bottom halves of the unit no matter how hard I try to seal it. Could this be the culprit? Thanks, --Lynn
