I got this machine for my husband who is a coffee addict. It was fairly easy to setup and he loves the fact that you can program when it will prepare your coffee for you. It has a ton of different settings and sizes which really makes it an all in one machine. I will say, after one time of use, the descaler light came on and it took a while to determine that there is a dirty water tank that needed to be emptied. It is also not a quiet machine. Since it grinds the beans, it makes a fair amount of noise so make sure it is somewhere that can be closed off, like a pantry, if you are concerned about that.
