I am so happy I got the chance to try this. The coffee tastes so much better than my old brand machine! I got the red machine and it looks so pretty sitting on our kitchen counter. It is simple and quick to make a great cup of coffee and espresso! The water heats up super quick which I love, to make that quick cup of coffee in the morning before work! The pods are a bit pricey but worth it to get a great cup of coffee!
