Good coffee. But at least half of the attempted brews resulted in a "backfire" with coffee grounds in the machine and in the cup, wasting a pod and taking time to clean up. It looks like water goes in under pressure too high to be relieved by going out the other end.
The espresso style is not new to me. It's been a favorite for several years. It's a dark rich blend without the bitterness of some dark coffees. Whether you like a hearty moving "pick me up" or something yummy with a chocolate dessert.....you'll like this.
