This machine makes perfect coffee. It gets to temperature and extracts properly. Super easy to clean, few moving parts, easy to replace every part that could break. Besides all of that, it looks amazing. Only complaint is the lids to the water reservoir and covering the grounds bin are kind of cheap and sit on top in a way that just doesnt give a premium feel. And the carafe feels kind of flims/cheap. I guess the trade off with the carafe is replacements are inexpensive
