I was a little confused at the beginning, because of the sometimes poor reviews. Incidents things the point that it is set to expire has me worried. But I wanted to get away from capsules or pads - the environment and fair trade to love. So I thought, I'll try it now simply. And I must say, everything super. Have the machine now for a few months and get every day wonderful espresso / coffee with great crema in good temperature. In fact, she is once leaked, but it was a human error, because I have the water tank, despite clear labeling, not inserted correctly. It also looks very high quality and not to cheap plastic. You can brush your super easy. So thoroughly satisfied. I hope they have a few years serves me, until I do not begrudge me a Jura machine. :-)
