Milk container
The milk container is fully shaped and made of plastic, that it does not necessarily fit in every refrigerator. You should be safe, should the measure previously. The container is in any case round with a diameter of 10 centimeters and has with the lid has a height of 22 centimeters.
Milk foam Vario controller
The foam stability is not automatically Macchiato for cappuccino, latte, latte or hot milk adjusted, but you have to set them manually with a slider on the pot myself. This feature is described as "Vario controller".
Voucher for Giannini Set
Need to get the glass set can fill in a questionnaire and send including proof of purchase to DeLonghi.
Whether one except the glasses also receives other mail remains to be seen. Anyway, you can explicitly contradict the receipt of additional "consumer information". I spaßenshalber times entered an incorrect name, let's see where the lands everywhere.
Delivery is quite fast, after barely two weeks. The four cups and two glasses along with coasters and Spoons come along in a pompous packaging. Design is of course a matter of taste, the dishes would be 199 euros was not sure value.
Statement "Complete front to operate"
The coffee beans and ground coffee can be filled from above. The switch to the machine "right" turn on the back, front left is a switch to the machine on standby to switch. To see the verblebenden water level it is recommended that if you have a clear view of the right side of the device. Otherwise everything is really going to change from the front: water tank, drip tray, coffee grounds container and brewing unit.
Statement "super silent"
The grinder may be compared to other machines a little quieter, but noise can not grind coffee. Even milk frother, compressor and mechanics ensure a quite considerable noise. So one should be better not blinded by "super silent" and provide the equipment for a library reading room.
Complaint "Quality of coffee and milk froth"
The criticism I can not understand. The quality of all types of coffee is great, and also the equipment produced by the milk foam is 1A, with 3.5% lactic, whether room temperature or in the refrigerator. When milk preparation injected anything and cleaned the milk nozzle is in a few seconds. Maybe it has but also now been improvements of the device (eg second boiler), on our stands in any case, the term "EX2".
Criticism "macchiato glasses standing in the water"
The criticism is quite incomprehensible to me. The cover over the recess for the macchiato glasses is such that when flushing occurs leaking water aside. Sinniger way you should anyway imply a cup for rinsing. The waste water, which produced the machine inside (just like any other coffee machine also) runs into the drip tray clean and comes with the macchiato footprint not in contact.
Gripe "water tank impractical"
The small filler hole in the lid of the water tank is large enough for every standard water tap and ensures that it is easier to come to the container by the sink for coffee without spilling over it. In my view, very convenient. If that's not enough, you can but also simply remove the lid of the water tank!
However, what is true and is angry that not all water is used, but still remains about the amount of a coffee cup in the container when the already "top up" message appears.
Not pretty, but who does not come after descaling the idea pour away this remaining amount, which is really not going to help.
Criticism "milk and water containers too small"
That all depends on how much coffee you drink, and how. Anyone can calculate how many large latte or small espressos can be prepared from 1.5 liters of water and a liter of milk scarce themselves. For home use, the amounts are certainly perfectly adequate, especially since neither milk nor water should stand for days.
Criticism "high levels of care"
I do not know what expectations some people on the "self-cleansing" of a coffee machine. After 10-15 coffee portions commend it to stop, they want to empty the coffee grounds container, rinse and pour off the small amount of water which has collected in the drip tray. Once the cloth over it and is good. And even if one does not consume 15 cups a day, it does not hurt to make the evening even this effort.
But that is also associated with the size of milk and water tank: For the really big throughput, for example in an office with many coffee drinkers, this coffee machine is certainly not suitable as well. For two to four ambitious coffee drinkers, at home or in the office, the machine is ideal.
Also good to know
When cleaning the milk nozzle, the display fogs happy times. Nevertheless, you should not wipe prematurely with a cloth while the machine is running it. Unless you have at hand a sufficiently large cup and wants to still treat an additional surprise coffee.
Conclusion
Caution Our daily coffee consumption has increased significantly, precisely because it is so easy, and because it tastes so delicious!
