Can you recommend: Super Espresso Crema and correct, if you do everything right (!).

Make 1 espresso properly:

It only works if you do it right. (This is obviously different for each filter holder so and each time). In contrast to the previous screen carriers I had this machine needs coarsely ground coffee. With finely ground coffee I have not received a reasonable result. A fortiori, no real Crema, only boring coffee and so a little foam, which dissolves quickly.
But with coarsely ground coffee (you can feel the grains significantly between the fingers) it works. I grind fresh, but the finished ground coffee, one gets typically should thereabouts fit. Slightly coarser better. That, to purchase a mill as a reference for all those who stand before the decision. If you do that you get incomparably good
Espresso with a lot (!) Real (!) Crema, which need fear no comparison. That is, it smells, it holds over minutes and when it scatters sugar sinks of only after a residence time of 1-2 seconds. And the coffee is delicious.

2. The cup height

Often criticized, but is actually a non-issue. Compared to the competition is about 0.5 cm or not. One can make large cups diagonally because you do it anyway not completely full. They are then anchored to the outlet and to the cracks of the floor plate, the run in the right direction for this purpose.
I'll really large milk coffee cups easily underneath (but not tall glasses, etc. that is clear. However, this will in most portafilters not. From this alleged restriction I have allowed myself to be led astray in the long reviews, but keep them out of practice out now irrelevant.

3. The filter holder and the stakes are so designed that they can be easily disassembled without wear. Good for cleaning.

4. The filter inserts have a small bulge. This ensures when removing the filter holder that rotates the screen and therefore is not liable on the instrument. I've experienced at a predecessor who has tried the strainer somewhat helplessly to hold a clamping spring. Is solved very well here.

5. Actually, a Selbsverständlichkeit, in some other manufacturers but not. Therefore, here the mention: the coffee drips, drips into the designated holes of the collecting container.

6. Meaningful Aufbewahrungsmöglichket for each unneeded strainer in the machine.

6. Overall, very solid impression.

Why only four stars:

1. The water tank is indeed removed, but if you decrease it, then fills and then used. going down water on the countertop, (only a small amount, though, but still: This is better, as my pre-predecessor of Krups proved over many years). After a drain hole is provided for this case. This speaks for a yet-conceived concept. Solution: Fill with water when the vessel dramatic climax. Only remove for cleaning and inserting empty. Thus, the problem is completely solved.

2. The switch, which you have to hold the strainer when tapping is actually something not ergonomic. We should be able find. (Sticky?)
