The machine is now for about 2-3 months in almost daily operation and is still going fine. Only disturbing I find the water tank, as this has to be tilted in order to fill it / empty. That was in the previous machine (also Tassimo) significantly more pleasant when you can pull the tank straight up. Otherwise a beautiful workmanship, though not 100% practical. All in all I have to say compared to my previous Tassimo: If the offer is true, you can certainly buy for 10-15 more such a machine, but this machine can also be nothing more than the cheaper models of the manufacturer. Looks a little more noble, and visually gives her more, but personally I taste no difference between the models (whether with or without a filter system).
