Basically it's a coffee maker that makes one or two cups at a time. You have to buy coffee pods that fit in the machine. The deal is it somehow makes this frothy(They call it a crema layer) top to the coffee, and it just tastes so good!!! Also it makes the coffee in like 30 seconds! YUMMY!!! I have had two cups already! (I usually drink one a day, I cut down a lot!)
