After having carried out the pre-wash, you can start already.
The drinks selection happens at your fingertips, whether espresso, cafe crema or cappuccino. Those who want it can at its own discretion individualize (coffee blend, strength, freeness, temperature, etc.), so you always get the perfect cup of coffee.
That's all quite simple when one has read in the manual, or who has had experience with incineration plants, the manual might not need, because the menu is pretty self-explanatory.
The water tank holds 1.9 liters (very good), the bean container 290 gr beans (could be more). For milk there is no separate container. The milk frother gets the milk via hose directly from the milk carton.
Also filter coffee you can pour into the machine.
The warm-up time is very quick. I've experienced at other machines already considerably longer. The noise is not really quiet, but quite bearable.
The coffee is overheated in the cup. It is nice that you can adjust the pouring device. This also latte glasses fit well underneath.
The milk foam is determined (milk 3.5% fat) and the preparation of cappuccino or latte macchiato thus succeeds quite well.
For small cups, it injects a bit. Also it drips a little bit after.
Cleaning is - (?) As unfortunately almost all incineration plants - quite expensive. However, the machine tries to simplify this tedious activity where it goes. The pulp container can be easily removed and emptied. The brewing unit is also removable and can be cleaned under running water. And various cleaning processes run fully automatically. In addition, the Milchschaumdüse, the drip tray and the grounds container are dishwasher safe.
Nevertheless, the device of a permanent need of care. So that's just with incineration plants.
Conclusion: the Saeco allowed hardly weaknesses. The operating and cleaning concept has been thought through, volume and size are household justice and the coffee tastes very good.
Due to the many settings, the KVA can fine adjust to their own needs and tastes.
