I read all the reviews and have even had a few cups made in one.
I was really looking for reviews by roffians. It was clear from the
first "Other Aadult Beverage..." that we had some world class experts
here.

Well, the only real criterion here is "Did you like the coffee from
this machine?". If you did, then it will make no difference what
anybody says. I don´t consider myself an expert, or even particularly
knowledgeable at all in regard to coffee. But I know what I like.

Most of the people I have spoken to about this ( it is an ever
recurring topic here, as a very large percentage of the population
drinks coffee, or at least purports to), have all said that many of
the coffee pad type machines are not very good, but this too is simply
a matter of taste, and I mean taste in the normal sense of the word,
how it feels on your tongue.Other people´s opinions will not change
your taste buds or other perceptions.

If you are searching for a machine that makes "THE" perfect cup of
coffee, then you might as well give up now, because there is no such
thing, If you want "your" perfect cup of coffee, then you need to do
some research and try a lot. I limited my research, such as it was,
to espresso, because that was all I was interested in. I only tried a
very limited number of beans, and I have absolutely no idea of
blending etc etc etc.

It is similar to fishing rods, what you consider perfect may be a
disaster to somebody else.

Using an espresso machine to produce the basic drink, one can produce
a number of other drinks as well, so an espresso machine does not
limit you to making espresso.
