Ive had my pixie for a few years now and use it almost daily. Its easy to use and clean. I like that it only makes espresso shots, but if youre looking for a machine to make the full cups with the larger pods, this is not the one for you. I get a consistently good espresso shot (or lungo) each time I use it. It takes up so little space and it takes less that 15 seconds to pull a shot.
