I got this to put in our new house.  I couldn't be happier.  I had a benvenuto b30 before so was familiar with the quality of Bosch.  This exceeds the counter top model in every way.  The system alerts for low water or beans.  Makes cappuccino, latte or espresso a snap.  It looks amazing above the built in oven.  The two cup feature is a bonus.  It was expensive, but I am hoping it is as dependable as our B30 we have had since 2009 and works as good as the first day we used it.
