Very good like when unpacking the welcome pack, just great. After the registration is a kindly sent by Melitta Bella Crema coffee, which you can choose in advance. Three different varieties to choose from. I think that's totally fine. There is even a real manual in the box, many manufacturers get the not want to go back, much to the delight of customers. Not every buyer has Internet and Smartphone! In former times I had Melitta ever contacted because my beloved teaspoon had broken, prompt two new spoons were sent to me. Which manufacturer makes today such a thing yet? When it comes to service many can learn a lot here at Melitta.
Even the coffee Melitta can convince. In particular, this variety it did to me, Macchiato in conjunction with milk, as latte or cappuccino: Melitta Coffee BellaCrema Selection of 2013, Sol de Peru, whole bean, arabica coffee beans, 1000g

A map is attached to the machine, and explanations of what to do. The selection is still very significant and remarkable. So much choice have not some cafes. It gets worse. If you did call such a machine and got the taste, no longer tastes of a cafe in the best house of the city. :)
The fully automated still have a long advertising list for a sinfully expensive mat ambei: Melitta 198184 Caffeo motion
Actually, it is not necessary, because the machine has wheels, so roles. As the machine is quite heavy, Melitta has two wheels integrated, so that they can, as long as they are carefully lifting the front, slide. The idea I would not have come if I had not seen it, that the machine has such a thing.
The features speak for themselves:
Teaspoon with Einschraubhilfe for water filters, milk hose, cleaning brush,
Coffee and milk system cleaner, descaler,
Water filters, test strips for determining the water hardness
. Everything included except the water filter even this one should still reorder unless you have problems with lime in the water: Set of 5 Melitta Pro Aqua water filter
The machine is very beautiful. Although dominated plastic, but in shiny look. Looks very high, but a little more metal I personally would have preferred in this price range. But most likely the machine would weigh then 20 kg it is also hard enough.
The hose for milk is in itself a good idea, unfortunately, he is extremely short. The tube is not enough all the way to the bottom of a milk carton! This not you get them empty and must have recourse to another container.
The power cord of the machine itself is short, so you have to set it up in socket nearby. I think that that has to do with the high performance that pulls the machine from the electrical outlet. Major domestic appliances often have very short cable. Thus disconnecting the supply is related to the power consumption of the device. The manufacturer starts from the worst possible operating condition of the device to ensure the full safety function of the machine. The cable is probably as short on purpose, so that in case of failure only the extension cord is broken, but not the machine itself. Better a short cable when blowing the line and the apartment is on fire! One should not leave the machine and a kettle to run at the same time! The short cable acts impractical, however, is necessary because of the power of the appliance.
The machine has two bean container and a separate shaft, for ground coffee. The two bean containers are handy if you like to the evening drinks coffee, so I filled a container with coffee beans without caffeine.
The volume is OK, the coffee is hot and tastes great, but only if they also used very good beans. If you buy beans 08/15, comes not a good taste of the best machines.
All possible settings you can make to the machine, create user profiles, etc From the outset, you will be guided through the menu, so that nothing goes wrong. Very good, I like the removal from the water tank. All elements of the machine are easily accessible. The display responds without complaint and also looks very futuristic of.
The cleaning of the machine is very easy to understand even for beginners. Partially automated. On the right side you can open the machine, take out the brewing unit. Due to the very good manual in printed form, is not a problem.
The Melitta F 731-101 Caffeo Barista Fully automatic is the engine of choice if you have enough space in the home and an exceptional device searches that leaves no wishes unfulfilled, aside times of the little things, such as short power cord and the milk hose. Very reassuring I find also an indication that the machine should keep 15,000 cups. Whether the machine by holding really 10 years it will be interesting, however, is limited to 2 years, with the note make any commercial use. Who drinks 20 cups of coffee a day already? But you will be surprised yourself. Once you have such a machine, one drinks more coffee than you would like. :)
