This makes it simple to ensure consistent quality, high-end coffee each time, with next-to-no chances of a drink turning out badly wrong. The machine is among the slimmest and lightest available. It doesn't require an additional milk container, and its compact footprint allows it to be easily incorporated into even the smallest kitchens.The CitiZ is not the best device to reduce your environmental impact.

Either way, you'll need to think about how you'll deal with the pods you've used up so that they do not end up in the garbage.The SMEG we tested comes with a removable reservoir of water that is simple to fill.
