The ups of this coffee maker is that it makes good coffee and espresso also I like the options of cup sizes from 8oz,10oz,or 14oz for coffee and 1.35oz, 2.7oz or 5oz for espresso. It's also easy to clean and it's not as big as it looks on the box, it fits perfect on my coffee stand.  The only thing I don't like about it is that it vibrants loud.
