This machine is great for fast times to cook just one or two cups of coffee. Since all standard coffee pads fit, you have a pretty wide range. The service is super easy (or two) put water in the tank, the pad in the designated drawer, push, press the little buttons to boil water, and once it has cooked, adjust as desired the cup quantity. The coffee is ready very quickly and is very hot. The machine is indeed quite noisy, but since it is short, I do not find that so disturbing. Actually many functions does not provide the machine, but because it is intended primarily for coffee now times, that's fine. Because that is just fine with her, even the crema is abundant. The value for money is also good. You hereby get a quick coffee with no frills.
