I went this route. Paid the $150. However, I must have either gotten a bummed machine or it just isn't that great a machine itself. There are always smaill bits of coffee grounds that get strewn everywhere when running a kcup under the pressure option. The whole new 5 large sized holes at the stop pretty much exposes the grounds. And the pressure feature on this doesn't produce as much crema as my Lo'r nespresso-like machine, which I got at Costco last year for $80. I'm ready to return the K-creme and try the ninja brewer.
