what i do know is - having received this as a gift, it serves my morning coffee needs perfectly.
it only takes about 3 minutes or so to make, which is great when you're running late in the morning.
she is a teacher and took it to school so she can have a second morning cup of coffee.
my husband and i are both coffee drinkers and have a regular 12 cup coffee maker for mornings, having guests, or when we both want a afternoon cup or two on the weekends.
it's just a real quick and convenient way to enjoy 'great tasting' coffee once again, without the hassle of running out for a cup of joe first thing in the morning or mid-ways through the day :-).
it does take a bit longer on the first heat up in the morning but it isn't that long, i guess 30 seconds or so?
i have a few in my room every morning before shift.
so easy, so fast, and no running out on sunday morning for my sweetheart's cuppa!
this machine is so easy to use and the cup of coffee i had this morning was so yummy with frothy cream that i didnt even have to froth myself!
i like the lungo in the morning although my husband prefers the cappuccino.
in the morning i heat the milk to make a caffe latte and it's the perfect temperature to drink on my way to work.
i do love having the machine and we have coffee more often (evening latte and early mornings) than we did before.
i get up the same time every morning for work, and now make my own latte, and clean up the machine and it's parts, in half the time it took me to stop by starbucks in the morning.
espresso is not coffee nor is the espresso drinker your average morning joe.
this morning, i tamped it myself, but i didn't empty it before i left, so i'll have to see if it made a difference.
my ability to get up in the morning is so enhanced and rapid 'cause i know that in a few minutes i am going to get a fast and fresh wonderful cup of coffee...
i now have a latte every morning with out going to star bucks.
it really only takes about 1 minute for the machine to be ready in the morning from a cold start to make an espresso or boiling water for tea.

i have had a couple of other makes of espresso makers in the past.....they made espresso very slow and in very small quantities...so it was always a real project to make the morning espresso.

i hate to go to a hotel, find a maker with coffee filters and think things are fine until 6 am in the morning when you realize both filters are de-caf!
another plus of ese pods is you can easily pack how many packets you think you are going to use...i like a double in the morning so i packed two per day and then threw in a couple extra for friends,
i recently purchased my cuisinart thermal coffee maker after a change to my morning commute.

granted, most of the time we do drink our coffee in the morning before work.

this morning, about my 7th time using it, my husband and i looked at each other and said, this is it!
i have been drinking the yummiest vanilla lattes every morning.
and the carafe maintains the heat for a while, but an early morning pot does not stay hot enough for a good after-lunch cup.
the coffee definitely doesn't get cold, and yes, you can warm up the carafe before you start, but that's not practical for early morning use.
i regularly stop by nespresso in the morning and have a cup before hitting the work world and today was the day to plunk down my hard earned cash in what i see as a real necessity!
