We had a cappuccino machine, I thought my wife kept cleaning the crispy dried milk off the steamer spout, she thought I was doing it. A year later, after coffee every morning, we found out the cat was licking it off when we were at work.
I'm not seeing the problem.. Little guy gets a nice little snack, you get a consistently clean machine.. If you're so concerned just wipe it with a sanitizer wipe before you use it.
