Important seems to me that some features that are not daily use compared to an almost perfect machine as the latest Melitta Look, we've received for testing is also very beneficial:
- The lateral openings for filling located on the back and are not as accessible,
- The Complete announcements are not front but there is only one on the right side and it is not very readable,
- The removal of the filter is not quite as convenient,
- The drip-stop is not integrated into the machine, but built in Filtereinsat, is rather primitive.
- A hot plate and a glass jug I find not so practical as a thermos from stainless steel
All in all, are the - up to the thermos flask - only marginal phenomena and I think you can get used to it.
The cable is with approx. 60 cm (corresponds to about an arm's length) exactly as short and the hot water is distributed just fall over the entire filter with a sort shower head. Also with regard to height, both machines are the same, they fit well under standard Hängeshränke, but for filling must they move something forward. After retracting the coffee tastes just as good.
For people who like it, the timer is a practical matter. Otherwise, this machine is just like any other.
