I just received this is as a gift. I followed all the instructions, didn't fill the milk to the max, and it was leaking the whole time! Any tips?

Try a different brand of milk! Apparently some brands have more or less glycerine (glycerol? glycol...? Idk) which breaks down the frothy-ness. I have found Trader Joes milk and Whole Foods' Organic Valley do not froth at all. They do the same thing yours does. Safeway Organic, other fresher brands in glass bottles and even Targets organic brand froth like a dream.

Mine works like a dream. Have filled it to the max with no problem, but mostly just to the minimum. Yours must be defective.

I have had no problems with this. I would send it back. I fill just so I can still see the "whip" for one cup of coffee. It works beautifully.

There are two frothed attachments: one has the round spring and the other is a little plastic piece. For lattes use the plastic piece and you can fill it to the max. For cappuccino 's use the spring but you need to keep it at the min level. Make sure lid is on good and rubber gasket is not defected. It ha happened to me on occasion . Trial and error but I love it. Hope this helps

Try filling it less. My epica does not overflow, but I nevervfill it to the line

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Sounds like it is broken. Send it back. You should at least see steam. It got the bottles to hot for me and I don't have time for that with a crying baby. Send it back.

Me neither! And the 14 month old couldn't either. Jaclyn below says her 15 month old has no problem, but then she says it leak, mine doesn't leak, NOTHING comes thru.. It's not supposed to leak, so hers is broke too, but you have to be able to get something out of it! I'd prefer a little leakage!!

It's not so much that it will leak but it will be harder for her to get the formula/milk/juice if the hole isn't facing the top. The flat part if the nipple should face down. I'm going through the same thing with my boys. But hopefully they will learn.

First, be careful not to overflow the container with milk. Fill milk to just under the top of the ball that is on top of the whisk. I LOVE my Aeroccino Steamer. Made my life easier. If you continue to have trouble, contact Nespresso directly, they are amazingly helpful. Also, I suggest that you join their club. The pods are cheapest through them.

It is a piece of junk! Mine leaked right out of the box, when I called their customer service department they told "that happens sometimes" and suggested I send it back to Amazon.com! I just threw it out and got a Mr. Coffee machine instead. I suggest you get a new machine and junk it.

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.

I always use 1% milk and while it doesn't froth as great at 2% -- it foams and stays foamy all the way while I drink my coffee and I spoon some out at the end to eat! Maybe you are putting too much milk in the foamer. Fill it to the bottom line not the top one!

I tried preheating my soy milk as well. Just get weak bubbles at the top. Seems to only give stiff froth with real milk for me.

Just bought it so not much experience, but it could be a result of the type of milk you use? I used 1% with no spills. Perhaps a thicker milk like 2% may thick up more (and spill over more) than others? Try experimenting and post back. good luck!

I started having that issue when I first got this. I realized my problem was overfilling. The liquid level needs to be around the level stated in the instructions. Once you get an idea of where that is using the funnel, you can eyeball it from that point and you should not have anymore problems.

I fill the milk to the line indicated, turn on the button, and it gets hot and foamy all by itself. Maybe your machine is defective?

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.
