The first expression is that this Handpresso is just nicely built, as well as the case. Making espresso is very easy, and it takes a minute or so to make a cup. I was impressed with the coffee. Believe me for a portable machine, coffee was great. Now my Handpresso substituted my Krups machine. I use Island Joe's ESE pods and Lavazza Grand Crema. A good hint is: to make sure espresso has an ok temperature, I heat up my cup as well as the water container before actually adding the boiling water. I always fill a bit more water (a few drops more) so the ESE pods gets soaked before extraction. And it really takes about 30-38 pumps, no big deal. With this I get a great espresso and crema too. I recommend buying ESE pods buy bulks of 100 or 150, it gets cheaper. The unit works best with the standard 7g E.S.E pod.

Do you have to use those pod thingys, and also, are they reasonably priced (cos I remember someone telling me that although Nespressos- which sound similar- are great, the refill pods cost a bomb)? Thanks! Wow sounds great!
