An espresso preparation, regardless of whether 1 or 2 cups goes quickly and delivers the prescribed method of preparation, 1 measuring cup with 7 grams of ground coffee per cup, very good espresso coffee. It is very hot, has a good crema and is of good taste. I use exclusively finished ground espresso coffee.
An advantage that is now built Tampersystem, ie the ground coffee is tamped always consistent when screwing in the filter holder. The water pressure generated will stop after turning briefly to order brief predampening the coffee grounds and then running what else to control only consuming as long as you want in the cups. I can think of my espresso so genuinely Italian or low more than just a sip, dosing himself.
The Kaffeemehlsieb is now tightly integrated to do the rest by ejection by a spring push quickly and clean the filter holder under a water jet Schell and uncomplicated.
The possible use of Espresso pods also I have not yet carried out. The preparation of cappuccino coffee and therefore the use of the built-Milchschäumungsdüse is not used and can not be evaluated by me.
All in all I can say, a very good espresso machine without stylish frills and I hope the durability over the years, as given in the predecessor.
