Good Points

looks great on the counter. easy to clean. easy to operate...only after you watch the video. it is programmable so you can adjust the default settings.


Bad Points

cheap plastic. noisy. however, some noise needs to be expected.
the machine is programmable, but only for one person. you can set your likes and dislikes, but if your partner prefers a different type of coffee (stronger, more milk, etc.), it has to be reprogrammed each time you use it. this is annoying.


General Comments

i just got my Briel Versatile C9 from ebay for 600. the price was right.

now that i have had it for a week here are my comments. first of all, it will not replace going to a coffee shop and sitting outside and enjoying a nice latte while people watching. So there is no money to be saved if you think you are going to stay home and get the same quality coffee, not to mention the experience of going out.

the coffee it makes is not great. first of all it is lukewarm. even on its hottest setting, i need to put the cappuccino in the microwave. this seems ridiculous.

based on what i have read and lack of quality in its construction, i dont expect it to last a very long time..and thus i wouldnt recommend getting one.

my advise is ..when home...drink a nice cup of coffee made in a french press.

when you want a latte...get off your ass and go out and make an event out of it.
