I needed a machine that knows how to make coffee because I know nothing about coffee and I never drink. But I have friends. And they drink their coffee ... So after a meal that Nespresso is the top for me. All is not automatic like a filter coffee machine. Here I can not miss it. It does not take up space in my kitchen. Coffee in pods is always fresh. I can only recommend this coffee machine that is exactly what I needed. For connoisseurs and large consumers it is certain that there is better. But then the coffee budget is perfect for me because in addition I buy very few pods ... What I find still very expensive.
