Which machine do you have? So do you just put the pod and hit the button and that's all there is to it. Do you need different mugs depending on whether you want to make a long espresso or short. Sorry for all the dumb questions. Which pods are your favourites? Can you all the nespresso pods or just certain ones. Do you have a link to the one you have? Thanks. Jen
