Everyone who knows me do know i love coffee. My husband gave me this machine as a gift almost 5 years ago by now and still running like new. It very convenient and easy to handle. And most important delivers the best coffee every time! If the price scares you think about how much you pay for a good quality cup of coffee outside, again good quality not crapy ones. After doing this math you will realize the machine it is quite cheap! One other funny fact about my machine, is that gave a popularity in hosting the best coffee among our friends! So many of our friends bought this machine after tried at our place... anyway, you won't regret to buy this machine!
