The machine costs little more than the basic model but is more practical with its adjustable spout height, and you put the cup that you want, and calc light to facilitate and maintain the life of the machine.
The price of the machine is very affordable compared to models of other manufacturers and pods are much cheaper, even those of the Senseo brand, and we can find big plus Bio coffee which is impossible with other brands (Tassimo Dolce Gusto Nespresso).
Cappuccino Choco pods of the Senseo brand, are really not bad to change the classic coffee, I have not yet tested the others.
Finally, small detail but that is a plus for me, the coffee does not come out burning machine so we can drink it in one minute without being burned, no need to add water (which dilutes the coffee) or wait 10 minutes, which cools down.
