The espresso gives me the kick i need to make it through a day at the office, but it isn't very user friendly.  The pods aren't easy to place into the machine. And the machine doesn't tell me when it is full of used pods so when I go to close one in,  it smooshes it halfway,  destroying the new pod. It's kind of a pain to clean because when I remove the drip tray to get to the pod disposal section,  old coffee gets everywhere. I have to give it a thorough wipe down when I was just trying to make a quick espresso. And the flavor descriptions of the pods just through out words line "You'll take an aromatic journey through the senses. " and doesn't actually tell me anything about the different types.
