Myself and a friend both got these cute cow print cappuccino machines and never use them because they always leak and make a mess. Perhaps it is that the gaskets are bad. I have tried everything to remedy the situation and nothing works. Now have to write away for a new gasket to try and see if that helps. But new machines shouldn't cause this much trouble!
