Ok so I was excited to try this FlexBrew. First and foremost I like the large capacity water reservoir. The water heats up very quickly, no more waiting for the hot cup of coffee. It is easy to make a single serve cup of coffee using a pod. Now I love that the brew basket for brewing ground coffee is nicely stored in the cup rest with drip tray. The espresso feature is simple to use as well. The used espresso pod is expelled into the used pod container when the lid is lifted. The only thing I was disappointed with was that while brewing it is extremely loud other than that is it easy to use. You will enjoy a great cup of espresso, coffee or whatever pod flavor you use.
