We use this coffee maker every single day. In the morning I use the machine and frother to make a cappucino and, in the evening, my husband makes an espresso. We love the variety of pods (mild to strong, flavored and decaf) and the ability to make a short or long shot. Also, deeply appreciate Nespresso's commitment to recycling their pods...only wish they provided an incentive for doing so to motivate more customers to recycle!
