This is my 2nd Nespresso machine, the first was more sophisticated than this one, but it vibrated and coffee could flow out of the cup, as it was moving. This Citiz also vibrates, but a little less, and the coffee no longer flows out of the cup for cup holder has a rim. The automatic shutdown is convenient and compact size of the machine is also a plus. This coffee maker is simple and effective. Remains to be seen longevity (previous lasted 5 years, which is still a fair bit).
