To make your joke a couple of times is good. The mechanism has plastic gears that wear out with the slightest force, and of course, you throw it away, there are no spare parts.

I have had it for three years, the kids have enjoyed it every time I used it. It is not professional, so it doesn't run like a water mill, but it gets the job done. I melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and pour in some milk.
