First of all a thank you to the Amazon. The delivery was super fast and perfectly packaged. After unpacking, we were very pleasantly surprised. The machine does look and feel a very good quality and impression. Now for the first settings. The manual is ok and actually sufficient. The first commissioning went without any trouble. Have first of all the settings so left. The first three cups were for drainage, it was better, but it is totally normal. From the 5 cup really good. Then set the water hardness, temperature and cup size have the same fit. The cream was not as desired. So then the grind a finer set. But beware the changes show up only after 2 to 3 cup. Then simply times tried all settings. Easily adjust. Coffee is perfect. And thanks to the bean and the variable adjustment of the coffee strength tastes of espresso. To date, easy to clean. Water is easy to refill. So far, really just perfect. I'm staying on the ball and look at times on the long-term experience. Oh yes, I had been a very old law and then two different Nespresso machine. The last Nespresso has very annoyed (u) and also Nespresso has behaved not really customer friendly now but again opting for a VA. And so far nothing regret it!
