Yesterday I bought a new coffee machine to replace my old one. That old one I bought just less than 2 years, but I thought a new one some function are very convenient, for example, to push a switch, it make a cappuccino, to push other switch, it makes a latte. It’s automatic. So I bought a new one, old one I will give my mother.
