Many companies use name badges for the employees....the little stainless steel clips on the badges work great.....check with their Security depts....many times they have left overs from badges of employees that were discharged or just left for other jobs. They will usually be glad to give you a couple

I have never seen such an item, but if there is enough headroom in your fridge you might consider using a spring-type clothespin.

No, the top just slips down in place. I really do not use the top. I find milk stays fresh longer in this glass container without the top.

This is the ONLY feature of the bottle that I have a complaint about. Nine of ten times that I pour a couple ounces of milk in my coffee, there is one dribble that runs down the neck of the bottle. I always dutifully wipe it away. I try various methods of prevention, but have yet to succeed. In an earlier post, I begged other users to alert me to any "tricks" that might help, asking, "Is it in the wrist?" Perhaps using real cream instead of 4% milk? Filing the inside edge of the bottle's neck? I would LOVE to hear more discussion about this.

Late answer to your question. I've had the same experience as SRM!: once in awhile a lid will leak when I'm shaking liquid in the jar. A couple of others have suggested using a another brand of lid or putting a new Ball seal lid inside the plastic lid. However, both of these options are metal, so if you're concerned about metal possibly touching your almond milk, here's another option: put a Mason rubber gasket ring inside the lid (available here on amazon) when you really need to avoid leakage. Works like a charm.

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

I admit I have done this. Okay so the worst thing is that when you flip it over, the little drawer is overflowing so when you pull it out, the top of the box "levels" it out (like when you're baking and level the top of a measuring cup) by skimming the excess off the top. Not sure how to describe this better. Then the excess goes back into the box and you flip it again. It's really not bad. After using it for some time I haven't had the leaking issues with the clamps that other users have had. I just don't open it at all, so the clips haven't moved. The only fallout is in the front, but that's any litterbox. I admit I have done this.

Mine came with a stainless steel clip which holds it for a 10 or11 inch cake, did u not get that clip? if not you should contact the place you bought it from.

The little jars are silly. I retired them and the cover lid after the first batch. Now I re-use two large 32 oz standard yogurt containers. Two of them fit well, then I am adding a third 16 oz container. (Three large containers will not quite fit. I just cover it all with a clean kitchen towel and leave it for 8-10 hours. Works great! I also noticed that the milk will contract when it becomes yogurt so you will have less volume of yogurt than of the starting milk. I measure up full containers when I start, then add another cup or so of milk to be heated.

Only one device was sold on Amazon, but you can purchase a pair from the Milkies website. I've considered purchasing a second device since it does such a good job of collecting. However, I really only see using one at a time (while nursing on the other breast). If the milk saver was less bulky and were a closed unit to prevent spilling, then I would definitely order a second to wear while going about my day. But they are rather large and cannot be concealed under clothing. And I've forgotten twice and bent over, spilling all my collected milk. Therefore, it really should only be worn while actively nursing and should be removed when you remove the baby.

First, be careful not to overflow the container with milk. Fill milk to just under the top of the ball that is on top of the whisk. I LOVE my Aeroccino Steamer. Made my life easier. If you continue to have trouble, contact Nespresso directly, they are amazingly helpful. Also, I suggest that you join their club. The pods are cheapest through them.

I can't add anything to the other responses, I love this machine; however, we've been going through different brands of milk to get the best froth. We found the whole milk froth lasted the longest. "Hood" was good but this last time it was not. Expiration date was weeks in future and we just opened the container. Any suggestions out there?

hi, I did not have this machine for a year and it went out on the second use. I you can get it from the grocery stores. Heavy cream in the dairy area is what I used. good luck.

When I bought milkies, I kinda thought they would come in a pair as well but there is only one. It's designed to catch the milk that you let down on the non-nursing breast while you nurse on the other side. It actually worked great for me once I figured out how I was supposed to use it. It still works great. I get a couple ounces of milk in my milkie every time I use it.

If the pull-up ball isn't locking in place, there is a default with your device. I use mine about twice a week, and no problems yet. I rarely put milk in it, though... too much cleaning.

Once the clips are undone, it should be a hand twist. Keep a bucket underneath, because a bit of water will spill when the canister is opened.

Mike-The lid does not "attach". It sort of just fits over top to cover the opening.it does stay on when you are moving things, but it's not secured to the cart. Hope that helps! Also, as an elementary teacher, I go through 2 of these carts in a school year. They don't always hold up to the weight of the manuals that I have to bring back and forth.

I put my dog into the regular bike basket I have on my bicycle and put this over her. Then I use some medium to large office "paper holder clips" to hold them together so she can't fall out. The ones that are black and silver colored wires that you squeeze together. I wish I knew what they were called. Our whole family uses them instead of "chip clips" to keep potato chip bags closed, etc.
