About a year ago we bought a Dolce Gusto and were Macciato with latte and Co. very satisfied. The froth was okay all right and in terms of quantity, considering that he had already done comes out of the machine.
Eventually my friend discovered the chai latte for himself. Since you can not buy individually the milk capsules for Dolce Gusto, so a milk frother was needed.
After countless research on the Internet and contradictory statements we have looked at us the equipment at Saturn.
Either the device without reheat function, totally bad processes were (on some devices the teeth of the gears were already bent to foam) or consisted of a thousand small items that need to be cleaned separately after use.
The friendly saleswoman finally showed us the Krups which was immediately too expensive, but offered exactly what we were looking for.
Here are the advantages:
------------------
-Aufwärm- And Aufschäumfunktion in a single operation, the amount of foam can be easily selected by pressing a button.
-Perfekter Creamy milk foam, not too tight or too runny. Depending on the settings can be produced from the milk to 3/4 creamy milk froth.
-Low Noise. The device works absolutely silent. So it is perfectly possible to make already in the early morning hours a latte without waking the rest of the family.
-Very Good processing: non-stick coating, luminous rubber buttons for mode selection, stable handle with soft-touch coating, cover can be found easily and sits thanks rubber ring during foaming absolutely fixed.
-Easy And quick cleaning. It has to be taken out and abespült just a cog. The wheel is stable gefertig and has no fine serrations or edges. After cleaning, it is easy on it plugged again. The interior is generally made without hard to reach places, making it easy to wipe out.
-Thanks Nonstick coating repeatedly used, which is not possible with many devices, otherwise burn the milk.
-Schickes Style. Of course, the appearance is of secondary importance in a kitchen appliance, but it looks next to our black Dolce Gusto very good and makes an almost professional.
Disadvantages:
----------
-The Unit must not put in the dishwasher, which is absolutely unnecessary but because of simple cleaning.
-The Price is calculated very hard for a milk frother. Apart from heat and warm milk, there are no other possibilities. A pudding can not be prepared. (Is it possible with some other devices)
After much back and forth place we chose for Krups after us, the seller has demonstrated the device and we could taste the milk foam.
Now we use the Krups Dolce Gusto together with and have a perfect Cappucciono / latte macchiato or chai latte etc. for the home.
I drink a latte macchiato often and have learned that in many cafes, the quality of the milk foam is significantly worse. Even before the Nobel Italians of homemade latte macchiato no longer need to hide. As for the milk foam, the Krups I played with in the class here. Coffee machines can be with respect to the foam completely forgotten.
Of course, this is all a matter of taste.
We have the cappuccino maker Krups now for almost a year and had no technical problems.
If the foam but times are less, which is usually at the dairy. We also thought to have a defect in the device. With other milk, the problem was gone immediately and is not since surfaced. This problem seems to refer to all milk frother. (See reviews of other milk frother)
My Conclusion:
-----------
A flagship unfortunately no top prize. Who drinks a latte every few months times should stay away from the Krups.
For all coffee lovers is told it does indeed really hurt at the box office, but unfortunately good quality comes at a price and for that you get a top product on which it has long-term enjoyment.
When you consider how many people in 2000 to spend on a coffee machine, the price is very good justifiable for a very good cappuccino maker in combination with a cheap espresso machine.
From me there is therefore 5 Stars.
