I was very excited  to get this machine. I have just recently started to love coffee. The stronger  the better. Come with 2 baskets for grounds 1 for expresso one for ground coffee. I do recommend  watching a YouTube video on this machine. I found  it helpful. The manual  is large and a bit confusing. It has 3 diff temp brewing settings. This machine can do alot. So far I'm in love. Super great kitchen aid quality! You won't be disappointed.
