I am a HUGE coffee drinker and when I saw that Starbucks (my favourite coffee shop) had their own Espresso Machine I had to get it! Best investment ever! It makes three different sizes of espresso and makes your Starbucks coffee exactly like the store; perfect! You can purchase various Verismo coffee pods to make different flavours of espresso. I highly recommended this Espresso Coffee Machine to all Starbucks Fans!
