On initially taking the machine out of the box it felt quite flimsy and plastic compared to other coffee machines I have owned. Three buttons sit on top of the machine respectively, one to switch on, one to pour coffee and one for steam/frothing. The water container sits behind and to the middle of the machine and is quite annoying to get out and fill and causes you to spill the water.
On the plus side it is very compact and modern looking and sits nicely on the kitchen worktop. It comes with three different metal containers for the coffee, with one being suitable for coffee pods which are alot cleaner than the traditional way of filling up with ground coffee yourself.
I suppose the real test is in the coffee making !! The water took no time at all to heat up and provide a quite and clean fill up as with the frother which also did its job well. Apart from its rather flimsy feel I would recommend this product, its small and lightweight and extremely simple to use and the abilty to use coffee pods is a great function.
