Well, I bought one recently too but mine is glass so I can use it in
the microwave which makes things easy. I find that I need 40 seconds to
heat the milk which provides a good froth. I then put it back into the
microwave and reheat for 20 seconds which makes the foam increase nicely
and adds to the heat of the coffee.

I realise that this will not be much help to you as you can't put your pot
in the microwave.
