We Europeans love coffee for its taste and not just for a morning perk me up thing.After moving  to the States it took me some time to get used to the American coffee as drip coffee makers didn’t quite satisfy me.This  machine is different and the coffee it makes is full of flavor.The machine is very easy to use.My old Breville had many parts to clean daily.This one needs attention about every 3 days depending on amount of coffee made and it involves only emptying and rinsing the collectors.The tank is easy to fill and I love the fact that you make just enough coffee for the occasion without wasting it.It is pricey but worth every penny spent
