Relatively compact machine which is exactly what I wanted to fit in my small kitchen. I wanted smart looking stainless steel as an upgrade from my plastic pod machine, though I hadn’t anticipated how smudged the steel would get. The machine is quite light so when you insert and lock the in place you need to hold the machine to stop it moving, hence the smudges. I like the option for automatic or manual functions. The drip tray sits loosely at the bottom of the machine, I’d prefer it if it clicked in to place. Overall really pleased with the cup of coffee it produces.
