For someone who, like me, do not like espresso "tight" the Senseo is ideal. Simple to use (I'm 72 and do not like to complicate my life) she can quickly make one or two small or a large cup of coffee, custom or so, since one finds soft capsules of different coffees and different brands in every department store. The value is good, in short I'm satisfied with my purchase. One notes, however, the accessory chocolate does little good to me since I do not like the hot chocolate that pure and fresh milk.
