A good product, I advise you to try it.

It is not particularly advertised, but based on the system of replaceable slots for capsules, it must be understood that the coffee maker does not have a compartment for spent capsules. After each brewed cup, the used debris from the coffee maker is removed manually.
Two conclusions follow from this.
1. This is a coffee maker for one person (maximum two).
2. The coffee maker needs to be located in close proximity to the sink to flush the slots and remove waste, and away from the bin to throw the same waste.
By the way, the fact that the slots can / should be washed after each use, in my opinion, is a plus.

Pros

Nice quality coffee maker. Powerful yet relatively quiet pump.

Cons

Naturally, versatility is both an attractive feature and a weak point. Yet this is not 3 in 1, but 2 in 1, a coffee maker. Okay, 2.5 in 1. Ground coffee and Nespresso capsules brew great, but Dolce-Gusto capsules are somehow not very good. Claim to milk capsules, milk powder from them is not brewed properly, and even sugar is not completely washed out. But most importantly, the Dolce-Gusto system involves a constant change in the capacity of the poured water when brewing different capsules, but this setting is inconvenient for a coffee maker. In short, a normal (average) person will not bother with this. If the brand continues to produce such devices, it should simplify this setup.
