Very good and easy to use espresso maker, best I have tried in the past 2 years and this is by far my favorite. This machine is making good, tasty, strong espresso I love that it stops on its own whatever you choose single or double espresso; it definitely has the espresso size so don't expect to use this as a coffee machine it is very easy to use, this time around I can actually empty the used coffee ground without losing the pod in the sink. The size of the machine is perfect for my kitchen doesn't take too much space, very streamline
