This is the best thing I have ever bought - I have one in any place that am at for more than an hour. Its totally easy, idiot proof. Saves me almost $4500 a year instead of spending $12 a day on lattes. I have mastered my perfect cup and absoulutely love this machine. They have flavored coffee but the dark and medium roast are the best in my opinion. I can add cinnamon and chocolate powder just like the coffee houses. But this takes 30 seconds and its totally instant gratification....
