Previous speakers have rated the instrument sufficient and quite true, of course, can be dispensed with the 1-2 star and the short jubilation reviews.
Since the brewing system and the T-discs are identical, also arise with the taste, the maintenance costs and (unfortunately) no differences in the environmental performance.
Therefore, I would only refer to the comparison of the above. Machines go, so you do not - as I have to buy -2 units.
What is different?
- The Material. Overall, the material quality of the T55 is much valent
- The Design. The T20 is certainly not ugly, counteracts the T55 but very frumpy
- The Tank. Although has the advantage that Britta filter cartridges can optionally be used for, the T20 tank of
are filled up
- The volume setting. In addition to the design of the main reason for my switch. My cups are for the standard amounts too often
small and I like the coffee stronger. Basically, it is possible that with the T20 set, but is not at all practical.
- The brewing head. For me the only negative surprise, because the oblique system the T20 is better to use the
Capsule holder is permanently mounted (in the T55 only loosely inserted) though and the chrome front is chic, but very susceptible to dirt.
Conclusion:
If you need the volume setting and is on good design, the extra expense is well spent.
But if allersimpelste operation and simple design are in demand (eg office), I would advise to T20.
I have tried both devices for a long time. The comparison I will usefully publish for both machines.
Thank you for interest.
