Barista delivers café-quality espresso at home. Sleek black finish complements modern kitchens. Easy one-touch brewing for rich crema and full flavor. Compatible with coffee and espresso capsules for convenient brewing. Aluminum capsules are not proprietary (expresso or large) and can be purchased online by a variety of companies. I am very happy with my L'OR - it has a removable water reservoir, eat to clean, multiple personal options (look online instructions don't include these details), and makes a great cup. I am selling this new in box because I already have one and purchased this one to gift to someone who moved on.
