At half the price of Nespresso branded alternatives, and the fact it comes with an attractive pod holder as well as two quality espresso cups, this device is nearly perfect. It's footprint is on par with the most compact name-brand. It looks sophisticated and is straight forward to use. A few drawbacks that pull it down two-stars. First, mine came with a cracked water container (still perfectly functional, just cracked at the base). Second, I am not sure it is pulling at it's advertised 20bar. Nespresso machines advertise that they pull at 17bar - I only suspect this is pulling short of that, because my crema retention has been lacking from my espresso pulls on this machine. Other things of note, the espresso cups (included) are slightly large for the single shot pull, but too small for the double shot pull - for me, I do single pulls and add a dash of milk, so the size works for me). You have to take the entire base out to fit a larger coffee mug out, for Americanos. The other good, it starts up and is ready quickly and doesn't feel half the quality of name-brand Nespresso machines. It's definitely cheaper, but not to the point where it will bother you. I will update this review if anything goes wrong in the long-term
