I just opted for the machine because they search for longer, the best ratings for the coffee flavor was the big but is, however, encapsulate the very expensive and for that they indeed can be ordered from Amazon, but they are more expensive here than in the retail sector ! The machine is good but just too expensive for frequent drinkers because you can loose after a year NEN fully automatic afford because you (depending Shopping from 3.99 to 4.99 euros) is charged eg for a cappuccino 50-85 cents! So you drink four cappuccinos per day will cost about 700 euros per year, and that's just very expensive! I would only rate the machine then there would be 5 star as one but the capsules to yes also needs there's just only 2 stars! So okay for one or two of coffee a day think twice when more if not permanently, a fully automatic machine is cheaper!
