Honestly I was so happy when I received this coffee machine. I've never owned such a luxe coffee machine in my life before this one. The brand really puts in effort when creating products such as this one. It's well made and well thought out. It can make standard coffee using grounds or beans. It freshly grinds the beans and takes seconds to get a fresh cup of coffee. The cup tastes fresh and smells amazing. This machine is super easy to use, easy to clean and has many different size options to choose from. I also appreciate that it can make shots of espresso. This is a machine I highly reccomend!
