Am thrilled since 1 use! I'm fighting for a long time with the highly calcareous water with us and this unit is the solution. Filtered water, in the perfect temperature (between 80 and 90 ° which is ideal for Günen tea) and the appropriate amount - what more could you want. Very handy, I find that the water nozzle can be unscrewed for cleaning and for all the Chinese instant noodle soups such as I love, for it is this part is also suitable. One point deduction, there are however a few small things. The cartridges hold the 6-8 weeks are very expensive, the manual also is rather modest, the water tank is for my taste a bit too small and not very easy to clean thanks to the round shape. I can only recommend to anyone but the BR3041 and would buy it again at any time.
