I’ve experienced the larger machine and I like this one more, quick heating, fast brew makes for easy morning caffeine delivery system. I don’t personally like the fact that most of the hot areas are ran through or contact plastic, brew pack especially. Strong mode is perfect option and I preferred this mode over all else. Overall; although with ease of use the quality that comes from a peculator like no other. Until you reach that point I’ll stay there. Thankyou very much for opportunity! Look forward to it again!
