Well YES !!! Finally coffee with taste !!! Nothing to do with espresso & other machines, not to mention their prohibitive prices. If well the instructions of the manufacturer are followed from the start, I think we can only be welcomed. In this capacity, we get 5 French capacity cups or two beautiful mugs. It takes about 6-7 minutes over medium heat for a good quality coffee, which with its aroma perfumes the entire household. Easy maintenance, easy storage in a closet or a buffet (takes less space than a typical machine Senseo), we chose it for its simple but stylish side as to design. At packaging & product conformity, nothing to say except that everything is perfect.
