I personally drink rather little coffee, but you have now indeed a machine in the house have.
Decided I have for Petra machine because they can foam milk. This works very well! (Sugar remains on the foam if you do not stir)
The coffee flavor and the consistency of the coffee's in the machine have always been top if with expensive Senseo pads or with cheap Luxembourgian Raststättenpads.
The handling of the machine is selsterklärend and easily. Similarly, the cleaning and maintenance.
It fit all of my experiences Senseo (similar) pads in the machine, apart from these Plastikpads where most similar and chocolate in it.
Small negatives:
-The Cups must not be too large, otherwise there problems with milk foam. You have to "tilt" the cups under the nozzle. In normal cups but also passts so!
-The Heating the water takes rather longer than the one- or other machines. But you do on the machine and while the water is boiling or not to bring a cup ever ;-)
