I love coffee and seek out the strongest cup, hot or cold. This machine is beautiful and performs like it. I had a grind and brew, a basic espresso machine and a Keurig. The coffee that comes out of this makes all of those look inferior. If you like strong coffee this is for you. I have not found any in this line that come out weak. You can add additional water to your liking to weaken. They have iced coffee pods on the Nespresso website and they are amazing too! I no longer need to go to Starbucks daily. 
Milk frother is worth it 100%. It’s the best I’ve ever used.
