This... is a coffee machine. It makes coffee.
The machine does its job, and honestly that already puts it ahead of half the appliances in my kitchen that exist purely to mock me. It brews coffee. It brews it fast enough. It tastes like coffee. That’s the holy trinity.Now, does it spill a little when you pour? Sure.
