This machine makes coffee easy for sure! Although the app to machine things we really don't find usefull. Maybe just so use to being hands on. But it does do a great job with the signature brew . We love that we can change the strength and how hot. And my favorite part is the ice coffee feature! I don't think I would go  would go with it because of the price but now I have used it I would rethink and probably spend the extra for it!
