Does anyone know how well this little machine performs? It looks like it uses pods, operates at high pressure but is rather expensive at $385

sweaner,

Thanks for the link. Stelton has employed some of the best designers in the world and have a history of making exceedingly high quality, unique, and exceptional products since the 1960's. In fact some of their products are on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. So I was curious at to how well this device of theirs works. Hopefully more information will be available soon.

Too bad that's so expensive as it looks like it could be an ideal office situation where its not safe to leave a grinder at night or have a sink nearby for clean up. Still I wonder about the water temp control and what is the taste from a pod like? I know there are some places like podmerchant.com that sell a variety to choose from but do they taste any better than nespresso pods? Anyone with experience?
