This is THE coffee for coffee lovers: the taste of Italian coffee, plus the comfort and speed of electric without the risk that it overflows, as with others. Attention to the size: you can not put a very determined amount (in two and a half cups, no more or less) of water, no choice otherwise it overflows or does not. While calculating what you want: this model is TWO French dimension cups (the cups given by the manufacturer are for tiny espresso cups).
