I have both nespresso system and regular brew coffee machine. I was ecstatic to see this multitude of a brewing machine condense in one! It brews regular ground coffee (with paper filter) up to 55 ounces. Utilizes Nespresso original capsules in 3 sizes (1.35/3.75/1 oz). Hot/cold frother folds away for convenience. There’s even a space for the measuring spoon. Huge 60 oz water reservoir. The warming plate last 4 hours before shut off. Dishwasher safe.
