I ordered this coffee because my wife at the time has to drink decaf. The machine is very simple. An on / off switch and you're done. A cup with about 250ml is also there. For a cup of this size, the device needs about 4 minutes. The coffee is nice and hot. The ground coffee is placed in a sieve which is easy to clean. I use 1.5 Coffee measure, which for me is the correct strength. I would buy this product again.
