May not be practical for large groups, but a real treat for a single cup serving. The coffee is fresh, the strength is adjustable and the foam on top is wonderful.<br/>The pods are a bit pricey, but much cheaper than a coffee shop.  It is easy to use.  The modern shape looks nice on the counter top.  I have found that I prefer to use the 2-cup setting with a single pod to make the strength a bit weaker.   I  received mine as a promotional deal, so that may color my opinion some.  I do think the unit is rather expensive, but again, if you compare it to purchasing at a coffee shop, it will pay off....
