Italian term or phrase: Gusti semplici
Hello, I'm translating a slogan of a technical company and I'm a bit out of ideas in how to translate it, especially the words "gusti semplici".

The phrase is:

"I nostri clienti hanno gusti semplici: si accontentano del meglio"

I was thinking of: "Our customers are easy to please: they only want the best."

Could you give me some more ideas?

Thanks!

Oppure "they just want the best" o "the best is enough for them".

neutral  Sara Maghini: "simple taste" can have a negative connotation, be careful! ;-)

disagree  Oliver Lawrence: "tastes" not "taste"; "are" needs a pronoun or conjunction; "taste" doesn't rhyme with "best"
