The carton in which the machine is supplied is so big that you can pack up the machine again easily, without having to puzzles.
~~ ~~ Practice
The commissioning of the unit is described very well and very easy in the enclosed instructions. They should definitely read before, because there are also some useful tips for optimum coffee quality.
The machine itself, there are two coffee pad, one for the preparation of a single cup and the holder of two pads, these are also distinguish good because on a pad of a coffee cup is displayed and on for two cups just 2 coffee cups.
Before the first coffee pleasure, the machine must be even flushed with clean water. You take off the water tank as the coffee preparation, fill it up to the max mark. with water and uses it. What you have to do that is well described and well illustrated. I would not fill the container in daily use within the limit, because the water can sometimes overrun by water movements during insertion. Not so very happy solved and that's one of the points that I find negative. If you even know it, then you can avoid spilling. Then, a pad holder is to be used and the machine is closed. This process is also well illustrated and described in the owner's manual to find. Then simply switch as described only the unit and after passing through the water, the machine is ready for use. Previously you should not rinse the pod holder and the coffee spout. This can be done by hand or in the dishwasher. I have purged the parts by hand and with hot water and detergent. Were I but taste the first cup of coffee as soon as possible.
Preparation of coffee per Pad: This is also well described and actually quite simple. I got to my original Senseo machine pads and I was able to test different varieties. To prepare filling the water tank with cold clear water either to the mark maximum if you want to prepare several cups or up to the mark minimum, this is the sufficient amount for a cup of Senseo. Now select the appropriate pod holder, depending on the coffee thirst. When inserting the pads have to make sure this insert in the right direction since the Senseo helps consumers by carrying the pads on the bottom the inscription Senseo. Then the coffee in the pad must still well distributed and then the lid of the machine are closed. While I insert the pads I press the power button before, as long as it is flashing heated the water that lasts even when the light is solid red, the coffee will be brewed and long. At first I was not quite as carefully as you insert the pads since then came before the water side of the lid out. I would also like that the pad holder would better compensate. Although you realize when you close the lid when the pads are not quite right, but the lid is only a shade more difficult to when the pads are not exactly right. In addition, under the coffee spout does not fit every coffee mug. Some are minimal too high.
Now for the taste experience, the was very different depending on the type of coffee, because I know that I do not like so much more vigorous varieties I've tried from the rich variety of types of Senseopads the variants Classic, Mild, extra mild and decaffeinated. The coffee from the pad machine has me and my family as well as our guests very good. He comes relatively hot out of the machine, so you can not tumble down right when it is fresh brewed him. Whoever is in a hurry in the morning, it should be noted at the time of preparation. Depending on the variety of a coffee was too strong or too mild, the test with eager found anyone suitable variety.
Also to forgetful consumers was thought the machine turns itself off after 30 minutes of inactivity. The cleaning of the machine is also easy, you just have to wipe the outside with a damp cloth, the coffee spout, the pod holders, the cup tray and the water tank can be cleaned with hot water and detergent or in the dishwasher.
~~ ~~ My conclusion
The Senseo New Original is a pad machine prepared the delicious coffee, and here it also depends on the choice of coffees, as well suits the coffee. The drinking temperature was pleasant after a few minutes and the preparation is quick and easy when one considers that the pads are placed very neatly. This is in my eyes with the water tank, which has a not quite correct Maximalbefülllinie, the only shortcoming of the machine. For rapid preparation of small quantities of coffee pad machines this is a reasonable substitute for a normal filter machine for me. Certainly it can be argued that the associated pads are much more expensive than coffee from a package. Since everyone must eventually decide for themselves whether her / suits him the price. Senseo recommends using the original Senseo pads, but there are certainly cheaper alternatives. Since I do not think that inserting the pads and the water tank optimally, I do not give 100% rating for the machine, I would like to deduct only half a point, but unfortunately it's only in whole increments.
