I bought this for my husband but I was leery. I love our stove top espresso maker and didn’t think I’d use the nespresso often, or be able to find a coffee that would measure up. It came with a sample pack that we tried out, and we have found a few different coffee and espresso based pods that we keep on hand. I love the ease of making a quick cup when I’m on my way out the door and forgot (or was too lazy) to prep our stove top coffee the night before. the machine is easy to use, easy to refill, easy to empty of used pods. Nespresso, you’ve won me over.
