apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Has anyone had the cappucino from the Bialetti maker? I love the idea of this yet am reluctant to buy unless someone can vouch for the finished product. I trust the AT crowd to know good coffee and not be seduced by the compact, sleek simplicity..uhm, well anyway.

I have one, have used it several times while carefully following the instructions, and I'm not thrilled with the results, which are neither frothy nor flavorful enough. I prefer to use my old Bialetti espresso maker and heat the milk separately in the microwave, frothing it with the aerolatte gizmo. I'd be interested in hearing what others who've tried it think.
