As soon as I opened this package, I knew extra care was used to design this product. Everything from packaging, design, and function is superior to most other coffee machines I have used. My web research and shown that this machine produces an excellent cup and I have verified that with my experience. Water temperature is on point, speed is great, and the resulting product is a good cup of coffee. Would like to see some improvements with the water reservoir (making it removable) and the drop stop being a little bit cleaner, but overall, this is a fantastic machine that will produce great results! Solid recommendation!
