This is the best coffee machine/espresso maker that I have bought to date. It is an EXCELLENT value for what you get. The various products that you can make with it are amazing. Nespresso has a great recycling program for the pods which I love! So it’s completely sustainable! When you open the lid you don’t have to touch a hot pod, it drops it automatically into a catch bin!!! I am head over heals in love! I wouldn’t change a thing!
