First of all the set up of this is extremely easy. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up. The design is very sleek and takes up very little counter top space which is great. The bundle we got also comes with a frothier which plugs in separately, and that is also sleek and works very well.  This machine makes it very easy to make your drink as well, as all you really do is fill the water tank and put the pod in. After there is no clean up as the pods go right into a holding tin so you don;t have to clean them up right away. Any drink we made with this was very good. The best I can describe it is quality over quantity. If you real value the taste of your morning drink then I highly recommend this maker. It is by far the best quality I have experienced. It is also amazing how many different types of coffes/drinks this thing can make.
