Nespresso is everywhere. Nespresso but also very expensive. Between machines and capsules sold for gold, drink coffee is fast becoming a luxury. Philips riding this mode while offering more reasonable prices can satisfy a wide range of clients. The machine itself is well designed even if the finish is a little cheap. However, there is nothing off-putting. It has the added advantage of serving two cups simultaneously which proves handy. As for coffee, Senseo capsules do the work. The range is certainly less rich than Nespresso but again, nothing particularly dramatic especially since the flavors are there. To summarize, this machine is a good alternative and you will quench your caffeine thirst while saving money (although good grandmother coffee will always be cheaper).
