This is truly a one of a kind coffee maker i have never had a choice of k-cup pods, nespresso capsules and your own ground coffee all in one coffee machine this is innovation at work i am so excited with my new coffee maker it looks good it doesn't take up a lot of space and it has turned my kitchen counter into my very own coffee station now i can have Cafe quality beverages i can select brew strength, optimum temperature and pressure even Multiple brewing sizes and with the Travel mug friendly i can take my expresso to go. This machine is very easy to use and very simple to clean; it even has a clean indicator. I love that it has a large water tank so i spend less time filling and more brewing and that equals more time enjoying my coffee.
