Straight up front, I'm a bit of a coffee snob. That means I should hate capsule machines, right- It's a bit more complicated than that. While making coffee in a good press remains the best quality drink I can make at home, there is plenty to be said for the convenience of this unit. I'm often very unwell (an issue stemming from a brain tumor) and honestly, I can't alway feel up to even making a coffee. Being able to have one in under a minute is awesome! Now, I know that not everyone will have circumstances like mine, but whether you are craving a good coffee after waking up a bit on the late side of the morning and aren't long from rushing out the door, or if you've stumbled in after a hard day and lack the motivation to stand in the kitchen brewing a coffee, this machine will have a drink in your hands roughly 30 seconds from standby. Even if your household has other ways for making good coffee, there's always room for one of these.
