I am just in awe with this De'Longhi Espresso/Cappuccino Maker! I love that I can make a single shot or a double shot of Espresso. I love that I can make me the perfect Cappuccino. I do find it is easier to use the espresso coffee pods than the finely ground espresso coffee. No measuring just put in your pod in the filter and add the right amount of water to your tank. It tastes just as good as a coffee that your would get at a coffee bar without having to spend an arm and leg on a cup. This product is well worth the value and it would be a great addition to your kitchen.
