• – Comes with stainless steel filter holders for either 1 or 2 cups of ground coffee or for using paper pods.

With a built-in anti-drip system, as well as a flow-stop function to customize your coffee length, we think you’ll be just as delighted as we were with the functions of this machine. You can even dispense hot water only, making this a truly versatile espresso maker. 

Note: We found that giving this machine the time needed to heat up was a trick for truly getting the best cup of coffee possible. Of course, the inclusion of the steamer allows users to create the coffee drinks of their dreams.
