This coffee machine truly exceeded my expectations and has eliminated the need for all the tools and gadgets I’ve had before to achieve the coffee I normally purchase at a coffee shop. The espressos, lattes and cappuccinos that are easily brewed with the touch of a button have released me from the need to go out and get a coffee every morning. I will say I had to find my own recipe of what type of milk, creamer, and flavor ratio to get it just right but once I did I haven’t looked back since. To say I’ve saved an enormous amount of money by not getting coffee from other places is an understatement. The integrated milk solution is a game changer and full body coffee that is brewed has truly made me a fan of this machine. Only thing I may be worried about it purchasing the pod refills but it still amounts to a fraction of the cost of buying lattes every day.
