I have owned several coffee makers in my life. In the last 10 years the single serve coffee maker has been the trend but none compared to this machine. The quality of coffee that nespresso offers is truly amazing! The favors and aromas make mornings feel more special, and the price point is unbelievable for the quality. The machine itself is sleek, takes up very little room on my counter, is very quiet and the open and close sensor is impressive.  The pods tell the machine how much water is needed ect and the machine truly does all the work. Im so happy with this purchase im going to buy another for the office.
