The machine makes good and especially neat hot coffee. It has a larger than average water tank (1.5 l) and conjures up a beautiful crema. The main reason for my decision was that the cup filling quantity can be programmed exactly. For all other pad machines can select a maximum of between one and two cups. This means that a large cup is either half full or reinpasst no more milk in the two-cup quantity. Too bad that not more manufacturers offer anything like it. And Petra is unfortunately no longer produced. The only drawback: it is relatively loud.
