Price
Not even two years ago i bought this machine for $107 from amazon.
Now amazon lists the price at $677 and up.
I'd love to get one for my daughters, but right now they are priced high and in demand.

The water compartment lid should be ridged or textured to avoid slipping out of the hand when opening to pour in water

It is glued on perhaps the steam function made the glue break down over time
