While my friend is drinking coffee now and then, but mostly we drink tea at home. I now do not know what it looks like in other regions of Germany, but here in Berlin, the water is relatively calcareous. This results in unsightly deposits on the tea - so just the filter.
Anyone slightly familiar with tea, will know that you can not just any tea with 100 ° C boiling water is brewing. So the individual teas require different temperatures. To this end, the Filtrino is very convenient! We can use without problems boiling water for (red tea), but also sometimes 80 ° C for (green tea). The amounts of water are sufficient for us over because we tend Chinese drink tea, speak in small quantities and in small jug with repeated washing and changing. Who now has no idea what I'm talking, Chinese tea ceremonies you can probably compare more with the glass of wine in the evening than with a big cup of tea: D
In eineigen reviews one reads that the water volumes can not be adjusted, respectively, are too low. Since the device has a water heater, however, I find it not really disturbing, just for a second time to push the button when you need a larger amount of water.
What has definitely surprised positively, there can also be problems even larger vessels under the 'tap' questions. So the still relatively high Frensh Press fits of Bodum without problems underneath. Although one here for 3 4 cups of coffee just have to press several times, there ... but worse.
For power consumption I can not say much because we completely switch off the appliance each time after use, I do not even belong to the people who are now with the electricity meter stand by.
So in my eyes need a class unit, just for tea drinkers and people who occasionally hot water in smaller quantities. For people who like to boil large amounts of water all at once would be a conventional kettle more suitable.
