So cool thos machine having the 2 options built on it. Very easy to operate. Heats up so quickly and brews even quicker. Love the fact thatbit comes with a piece to use my own coffee as well as the k cups. Cool gaving the espresso that when your done with the pod it drops into a little holder. Coffee comes out so good on everyway you make it. User friendly, big water reservoir tank so you dont have to fill as often. Very modern, and sleek looking as well. Hamilton beach hit this out the park when they made this machine.
