Pros: Inexpensive, Compact, Durable, great taste, big variety, can prepare cold drinks
Cons: it is manually operated ( but you get used to it)
"This coffee maker is absolutely brilliant! Easy to use, funny because it even looks like a kitchen R2-D2 :). The coffee is just as good as you would get from a High Street vendor. Initially,I intended to buy the Phillips Senseo which is cheaper(although the pads for it are more expensive) and it had been recommended by some friends (after they tasted the coffee this machine makes they've already ordered one to replace the Senseo) Only thing that bothered me when first using it was that it is operated manually although because of the variety and sizes of the drinks available for it makes it impossible to have an automated start/stop function. Finally, I would like to mention that you should only buy a different coffee maker if it offers the 15bar of pressure like the Krups then consider budget, design, price of the pads etc.L"

Pros: Compact, great-tasting coffee
Cons: pods quite expensive
"Great product and reasonably priced by Laskys. Not exactly delivered by Billy Whizz tho.....
Coffee pods are expensive - and bizarrely more expensive on Ebay than in the supermarkets - but you get a fine-tasting cup of coffee that is well up to your High Street coffee shop standards. Only had this a few weeks but if it's durable and we can stock up on pods when they are on special offer, then I think it's a winner."

"I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. Not being a coffee drinker I can't really comment on the taste but he thinks it just as good as the cafe ones. I can say that it does make a wonderful hot chocolate! Very neat and tidy so suitable for small kitchens. Well worth the money."

"This is a great coffee machine. Inexpensive, it makes great coffee very quickly and there are a number of great coffees to buy for it.
It has a quirky design but it is very practical, it looks good in the kitchen and it does what it was designed to do very well."

"Bought this to replace Tassimo (which I had for 2 years) as was fed up of seals breaking on discs. This machine is much nicer and less messy. I enjoy all the drinks although like the Tassimo the coffee isn't always as hot as I'd like so my tip is to warm your milk separately if you prefer it with milk. Also you get freebies from the manufacturers and every box of drinks you buy offer points that you can redeem online against further drinks or accessories. A great machine which doesn't take up a lot of space, a little noisey but so was the tassimo and drinks take less time to prepare. I also like how it goes into idle mode when not used for a while, thus saving electricity. Would recommend."
