<pThe machine is a little noisy, and not good for making drinks for a big crowd, but that is our only complaint. My husband and I agree: This machine produces the best cup of coffee, tea, green tea ever. It is easy to use. Every cup is quick to make and fresh and tasty. I think we have tried most styles of coffee makers and this one is the best we've used. It is easy to set up an account with Tassimo and have the discs sent right to your door. You can update quantities and flavors/ type of beverage at any time. There are mnay, many flavors of coffee and tea to choose from; they even have hot chocolate....
