We are grateful for the upgrade at the desk, after hearing it was a 42 year anniversary. We thought the coffee maker was complicated, and rendered either espresso or Americano, neither of which we care for. A Keurig would have been more suitable. We have resolved to bring our own coffee maker in the future.
