We are so pleased with this machine. There is a reusable filter on the drip coffee side and you can use a filter paper if preferred. The jug is big enough to do 4 to 5 mugs of coffee at a time. The drip coffee side all looks well build for the plastic part of the machine and it's easy to clean. The espresso side makes great coffee and the box includes two sizes of the attachment for single or double volumes of coffee I assume. The milk frothed works brilliantly. The bonus feature is that it also delivers boiling water within seconds- one guest wants a cup of tea- no problem. Use this machine instead of boiling kettle! Apparently it will even turn itself off if you forget to but we haven't tested that yet. There isn't a timer (teas made style) but we load it the night before and just press then on button in the morning. Love it. Couldn't be happier. Read more
