Not being a fan of coffee "pure" I was looking for a machine that would allow myself to enjoy all the derivatives (cappuccino, mocha, tea ...) while allowing me to serve a traditional espresso to my guests, and this one is great! Small, so ideal for small kitchens, good design, and above it is automatic! I take off a star about the fact that the reservoir is low (for espresso fine, but for other beverages after 2 mugs it will refuel) and noise (but hey, what coffee does in right?) that is present although one gets used very quickly. In short, a reliable machine (Krups great value!) That has everything a great for a reasonable price through ODR and a variety of drinks, none of which disappointed me for now (compared to the Tassimo of the job which I found less pronounced drinks) :)
