Great coffee machine

We are now since about 3 months in the possession of the coffee machine and are totally thrilled. As our predecessors a Delonghi ESAM3000B after exactly two years the function partially ceased and was completely broken after 2.5 years, we were looking for a Customer Service Delonghi. After a factory customer service from Delonghi was hard to find in the area, we had sent our old Delonghi fast shipping. For the repair should occur according to estimate a price of just under 200. Then we decided to buy us a new coffee machine. A Siebträgermaschine came to us out of the question because we had just gotten used to the luxury of the "coffee pressing". Because of the bad experience with service and durability of the machine at Delonghi (The man on the phone was friendly, but nothing more), we limited ourselves to the manufacturer where the name with other products is our experience even for quality and we already excellent experience had made the service. Our choice was therefore limited to the manufacturer AEG, Bosch, Miele and Krupps. Due to a good offer at a big chain on site, we bought after prolonged compared to fully automatic machines of Krupp for a bargain price of 344. The Krupps is not a machine for the supply of a large family, was before us clearly.

After 3 months trial period we are thrilled. There are worlds between the ESAM3000B and the Krupps EA8258. While ESAM3000B just warm coffee produced, tended that the Brew Group dirty and spilled over the collection container without warning, the Krupps is the perfect opposite. Although you can see the brewing unit of the Krupps not readily seen, however, the closed system proves incredibly clean solution. From the brewing unit a strong rubber lip pulls the coffee remains completely in the tank. The Auffangbehäter mounted externally at the Krups and easily accessible. You must be emptied more often than the ESAM3000B, but can be done because of the good concept within a few seconds. The frequent emptying of the tank prevents any unpleasant mildew. When the machine needs to be emptied, the machine shows comfortably on the display. The coffee itself is at a medium brewing stage pleasantly hot and also the shot Extra milk will not result in that coffee is a lukewarm dishwater. Furthermore, to operate the coffee machine without manual without problems. All steps are shown in the display and meticulously processed sequentially.

The most powerful function for people who like to enjoy strong coffee is the double Aufbrühfunktion. Thus the coffee is not too thin, is ground and brewed twice with larger amounts of coffee coffee. The coffee takes so little longer, but tastes all the more better.

I want to get rid of even a word to the built Claris Aqua Filter. After I was initially skeptical when it comes to the filter rates, I'm really excited about the functioning of the system. While the old Delonghi machine had extreme lime deposits after a short time again, in the Krups no approach of lime can be found. The original filters can be to acquire and frequently as a bargain in a large auction site.

Conclusion: A really good and affordable coffee with elaborate operational concept.
