Coffeemaker with weakness in the grinder

AEG KAM 300 Fresh Aroma Coffee machine (1000 watts, with an integrated grinder, 9 Individual Mahlgradeinstellungen) stainless steel / black (household goods)

Customer Review

Although the predecessor -a AEG KAM 100 still provided his service, should also have a new coffee machine in the new kitchen.
After the good experience to date with the AEG Coffee Machine Fresh Aroma KAM 100 - after the engine is running for more than 12 years still - the choice fell in the price range up to 150 euros on the AEG KAM 300th

After the initial shock when unpacking the machine it is quite large with at least 43 centimeters high with a floor area of ​​approximately 28 * 22 cm, the positive impressions were then but mostly. The turntable of the machine allows a pleasant filling of the water tank, in which the relatively small fill opening should be used to first despite higher lying installation site. Very good solution is now integrated water level indicator that has been sorely lacking in the KAM 100.

Initial Setup and programming of the coffee machines are easy with the manual, nice to notice that the "old" glass jug of KAM 100 fits in this machine.
While the KAM had 100 generous 20 Watt Standby consumption in the KAM 300 just 6 watts for the electronics and automatic power are due.
The named in the Owner's Manual 2 hours of warm function when freshly brewed coffee could not be adjusted after the repeated noticed 40 minutes machine returns to the standby state.

Negative falls on the relatively loud sound of the grinder, the old machine is certainly also become quieter over time. Still I push the volume level at the new mill.
Much stronger fall of coarse grinding grade the beans themselves in the finest stage - such chips the KAM had 100 produced only in the coarsest setting. The increased consumption of beans is clearly noticeable. After several attempts the optimal setting was nevertheless found; for a full pot of coffee just the setting for 8 cups, but the strongest brewing stage.
Positive is the aroma Brühfunktion for 2-4 cups, the possible by the then activated interval brewing a nice strong coffee despite small amount of powder.

Overall a nice eye-catcher in stainless steel look with small weaknesses in the function. If AEG nachbessert with the grinder in terms of freeness and volume, then we can recommend the coffee maker with a clear conscience.

Addendum:
A visit to a local electronics retailer with service workshop brought the solution for the excessively coarse grinding results of the coffee beans. The friendly technician apparently knew the problem already and could provide the gear with the knob for the grind adjustment to a nearly three-quarter of a turn on to disassembly of the top cover. Thus, the bevel gears of the grinder are now much closer - in the finest setting the mill now produces very fine ground coffee - without that the bevel gears touch.
Some Brühversuche later I again found my usual settings - even the coarsest setting now is significantly finer than the factory setting of the machine. The bean consumption has gone now back in a normal level. One can only hope that these instructions arrive from the manufacturer, because then I can recommend the coffee maker with a clear conscience.
(From the grinding results also images were now added - now everyone can convince themselves of the results)
