After my Delonghi for repair, I got from M- market a replacement machine. A Saeco Xsmall Steam ES Since I am already getting familiar with fully automatic coffee machines. (Had a Krups and Delonghi 2) I was curious. Of Optical she was okay. Switched on and drink coffee - no. It flashes a lamp very quickly and nothing goes. In the operating instructions which stood by venting, if you take the water tank out. But not like. Ok habs eventually strapped that you have to turn on the hot water knob. Ok the flashing has stopped. Now I could start with the milk foaming. Also looked quite good, only now I had problems to close the knob. It only went with a towel, because the knob hard to turn, was too slick and wet. Then the next problem: The engine has overheated and you have to turn on the hot water knob again to cool. Of course, with towel. Then finally you could make coffee. Where the milk foam had subsided again. Coffee cups are also only small including. Unfortunately it is not height adjustable. The coffee would be too weak for larger cups. Conclusion: The coffee is good, only the handling who do not mind the, who can consider. I personally stick with Delonghi, even if they broke down. Should be fun to make coffee, too. PS: Also not suitable for man ;-)
