  You don’t just throw it away and buy a new one when it gets dirty?

  It also has you pour coffee syrups into a little plastic dispenser so you have to clean that, too.

  It appears there’s some sort of cleaning mode where you let the machine heat water into to a specially shaped tub that fits across the drip tray, where you also stick the siphon end of the milk tube. But it looks like the dirty milk water is ejected into the drip tray tub, so your wash starts off with clean boiling water before beginning to reuse cooled, dirty water.

  Also, what’s the wisdom on encouraging customers to keep dairy at room temperature? You know people are just going to forget the dairy container on their counter. It’s like they tried to stand out but all their features add more complexity and failure points than solved problems.

    Well and you’ve got the side issue that plastic is porous and milk is one of the most perfect growing mediums for actual pathogens. Syrup at least has way too high osmolarity. Flushing with boiling water will never actually clean the damn thing unless you’re replacing the tubing regularly. It will develop small nooks for biofilms to survive.

      It’s okay! You can buy an upgrade to use a stainless steel milk tube! 😒

  Yeah, that's icky. Machines like the Breville superautomatic ones are way better because they just have a regular fucking steam wand that's easy to clean.
