First off, these pictures I had taken as soon as the box arrived. The machine is gorgeous! It’s got so much versatility that as an avid coffee drinker and married to an avid coffee drinker, it’s going to be an adventure! Picture all the other single pod machines out there, espresso machines, drip coffee makers all tossed into this impeccably made ALL IN ONE coffee machine: a dream! The top opens up to a full panel to house whole beans just like with an espresso machine. The beauty here is that you can make exactly what you’re in the mood for with one machine. You can make multiple cups. You can make your fancy espresso drinks. You can do so much with this single automatic coffee maker. I absolutely love it and my husband just casually finds reasons to use it.
