Having read all reviews published on Amazon for this device, I dared to buy the device. That was good! I liked cappuccino very good, especially The one I make with even ground beans and a coffee Duck. This is a bit more effort in cleaning, but it does not rely on ready-Pads. Price is not that interesting, but flavorful. The machine operates quickly and quietly, only the milk frother hisses something dangerous. Compared with capsule devices, the device is a boon. Like all my objective reviewers, the device has a really small amount of usable water in the tank. 3 large cappuccino, then refueling is announced. Those who are not physically able to take out the tank, 2m going to the water tap to fill up briefly and then go back again 2m, I advise against this machine. Cleaning the cappuccino maker is relatively simple. It breaks down well and clean under running water fine with a bristle brush. When running through the frother for a mixed drink milk immediately clear water, the complete cleaning can be easily postponed to 3 days. Residual milk may remain in the intake hose by no means a long time, otherwise the cappuccino tastes slightly sour. Anyone who manufactures only espresso or coffee simple, has to clean the Aufschäuners nix the hat. However, the small water tank and the approximately 3-minute thorough cleaning of the foamer have something good. It has no old, stale water in the tank and you have to sort out his tongue at the pleasure of cappuccino no nutty lumps curdled me. There are no hidden holes at the frother, you can not clean. This is very important !!! In summary: - The machine makes very good coffee, provided that the operator knows what he's doing. - It is no espresso machine with 15 bar pump pressure. - They can be cleaned very well. - Easy, almost intuitive. - Good value for money. Another tip in conclusion: Not finished Cappuccino capsules (pads included milk powder, etc.) Buy! These are small plastic UFOs, which are filled with nothing else than what one otherwise as a finished powder is in the cup and then tilts hot water over it. If someone likes to drink, then this device is not required for its production. Since tut's also the old kettle. There is this on U-Tube video from a curious client, the wondered what may well be stuck in the expensive capsules. Very insightful and humorous.
