Vertuo Lattissima Coffee Machine

I have a similar problem to what others have reported. The machine was awesome for a while and now will not make milk drinks. Coffee is fine. No leaking or other problems. The machine just seems to not recognize that the milk container is connected and none of the milk drink buttons are enabled. I've checked the door, making sure the container is fully inserted, the knob is on milk and not rinse, etc. I did get a couple of years out of the machine, so better than some others. But there is obviously a design flaw of some sort that affects the reliability/longevity of the milk side of things. Which is unfortunate considering this is a fairly expensive machine.

This machine is terrible! I have had to use 2-4 coffee capsules to get it to make a cappuccino. Sometimes it won’t work at all! Frequently every time I turn it on it will only brew a large espresso. it won’t accept the latte or cappuccino option. so I end up with mnothing or black coffee and have to warm the milk in a separate accessory and add sepately. I have wasted over 10 coffee capsules. is this a scene to sell more capsules. I have to buy another machine so I can have coffee in the morning as usual.
