What to know before buying
- The listing calls this a drip coffee machine in one field but otherwise identifies it as a single-serve pod machine. It also gives the pressure as both “15 barr pressure” and “15 Bars”, and names a reusable filter without explaining its role. Confirm the selected model details if these distinctions matter.
