I first experienced Espressotoria Caprista Capsule Machine when I visited a hotel in Portland Oregon. Each room had this coffee machine and was impressed with the excellent cup of coffee it made. I was so impressed I bought a machine for my home used. After going through pods I purchased using Amazon, I was happy to find a podstar. As I had no luck finding a reusable pod for my machine. The purchase process was easy to navigate and user friendly. Shipping was a bit however it was as expected since it was going to be shipped to the US, San Antonio Texas. Product did arrive in a timely manner even though it traveled a long way. Product impression: Once I was able to open all 3 packages and review each product, I can honestly say I am impressed. All 3 are made of metal. I know this will make my product last for a long time. The coffee tamper has some good weight to it and solid. The pods are perfect for my machine. Over all I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to making, many an excellent cup of coffee. I highly recommend.
