Then the same second offense - the enclosed operating instructions of the great new that should do without text - only pictures. - Unfortunately, it is only partly clever - hence the best music from the Internet Download "proper" manual: "[...]"
Thus equipped, was then the use of the remaining functionalities (milk foam system was a bit tricky) no longer a problem.
Topic milk system - the great thing is that you have this designed so that it runs completely outside the machine - you can do it so in the refrigerator (goes up to a week) and then completely in water or even clean dishwasher.
For example, there the positive way to program the coffee maker with a switch - that is already operational, if you want to pull in the morning still quickly nen Esresso before work (also after power goes surprisingly little time until the machine has heated up - after all, Aufheitzzeit and rinsing time is to save as).
The setting of the grind (in only 3 steps) I found after reading the "correct" operating instructions.
Using the Menu to push button between espresso, espresso can then by means of the rotation strong, choose coffee, Cafe Lungo and hot water - there is a separate button to Cappiccino - for whatever reason.
All containers (beans, water, collecting vessel the pressed beans) do not offer particularly high "range" - The drip tray / drip tray is however clearly too small sized, in my view - after all container can be easily and quickly empty and fill - Strange is However, the management around the water - and "ordered" stand although certainly still enough water for 3-4 more cups in the container, the machine remains in the middle of brewing a cup more water - comes to the request, then the scalding process automatically continues - but then you will receive more of a "ristretto" - no idea what the people thought when Krups here.
The biggest drawback in my opinion is the permanently installed brewing unit - This is definitely better resolved in my Saeco - there can be also the brewing unit found and completely clean - if you know what the times is stuck I do not remember how it in two years looks in the Krups.
The milk froth I find OK, compared to my Saeco but I find it could be less watery and solid.
After Krups puts useful accessories at (what is not self-evident) - so are
1 filter.
1 assay for the determination of water hardness
1 bag of descaler
2 Clean Tablets
and a small tool to clean the steam nozzle
in the packaging.
Since then I have some coffees ausbrobiert and have come to my favorites: "Kimbo Espresso Coffee Classico" - possibly just try sometimes:;. Qid = 1421512834 & sr = 8-8-spell & keywords = coffee beans + kimbo - is in combination with the Krups a considerable Espresso bean to a barely tolerable price - is getting even cheaper elsewhere on the internet ...
(+) Programmable switch - short heating
(+) Lactic system is not within the machine - easy and hygienic cleaning
(+) Temperature adjustable - already corresponds to the mean temperature in the high temperature about my Saeco
(+) Amount of water and coffee quantity set per type of coffee
(+) Legal compact dimensions for a fully automatic
(+) Good and informative display (no touch)
(+) Resolved Starter accessories
(+) Middle Range
(0) Not just one of the quietest coffee machines - but just about acceptable
(-) Group head permanently installed
(-) All too high cups or glasses do not fit under the spout -. Max 11cm
(-) Water Mangement badly resolved - remains in the middle of the cup stand
(-) To fill No separate possibility of instant coffee
(-) Freeness adjustable only in 3 steps
(-) Low-grade material quality
Conclusion: Given the price, the well-made displays, the small size and because of the good coffee result just 4 stars.
