I was looking to replace my espresso senséo I got tired of the lack of choice of coffee, pods problem that badly put out the "Sock juice" I chose this model for its price and the combined function; 1- aesthetic satisfaction (less plastic true that in the photo), color variation between the tank and the top of the coffee maker ... shame 2- espresso is pretty good, practical, coffee a little hard at first, easy out tanks; pretty fast preheating, hot coffee but no more, if you want warmer, simply preheat longer; frothy coffee (more than Senseo), good taste but it depends bought coffee; 3- coffeemaker: little practical filter holder out to flush but not necessarily every day, operates independently of the espresso can be used concurrently with espresso as different tank and separate switch; 4- espresso filter for 1 or 2 cups and works with soft pods (like ESE or Senseo) BUT the problem of this filter is the remaining water after espresso: one puts water everywhere .... it still has some drawbacks and especially 1: the low height to put a cup under the precolateur: forget the mugs and that's just for the cups "Senseo" I will not change either my cup, then s' adapted by removing the drip tray; cups do not move at the start of espresso; second big disadvantage: ground coffee throughout the work plan but I think that's also the problem of other espresso! in conclusion: rather asatisfait very, very good price / quality ratio and dual function and espresso coffee machine; everything can not be perfect at this price!
