I bought this machine to replace a machine expresson Krups. At unpacking, I found what looks like a fragile and light plastic toy. Everything is very plastic "cheap" and the VERY unpleasant surprise is that it is impossible to use ESE pods (and therefore impossible to simply serve a single cup). I saw on the Philips website that the model HD8423 / 01 and the HD8423 / 19 make it possible to use a single cup since there would be the pod includes door. This is not the case of this machine! I separated this machine and bought the HD8325 / 01 model that carries a pod 1 cup (ESE) and an espresso filter 2 cups.
