Feel like I'm back in France
First learned of this product several years ago visiting friends in France. Great coffee and makes me feel like I'm back in France with my friends again.

You don't need to be awake to use this one!
Even if your brain is still in sleep mode you can make your coffee. Put the water in before you go to bed and it's as simple as popping in the pods and waiting for it. No measuring, no parts to assemble Just put your cup under the spout, pop in the pod and go.
I've had other espresso machines before but none was as simple as this one. The kicker is the espresso is as light or as strong as you choose so if you need a strong latte in the morning you have one with no extra effort or wait.
The only drawback is that it is VERY noisy. Like startlingly noisy for such a little guy. Good thing it's so fast...

Faulty Pixy design
I like to use a regular coffe mug with the drip-tray up.
the spigot isn't protruding enough outward. The dripping coffe barely makes it in the cup @ its proximal edge, because the spilltray protrudes too much forward and preventing any coffe cup to come close enough to the machine, even if one removes the fold-up spill-tray.
The bay for the capsule placement is poorly designed and makes a capsule not only tilt downward but also easely allows lateral displacement of the capsule leading to jamming it or dropping it in the collector.
My longterm experience with the basic Essenza is more favorable neglecting its disallowance to fit a larger cup benath its spigot unless one tilts the cup before and after dispensing coffe to fit beneath the spigot and the missing of an automatic shut-off.
