1. The machine has a removable brew group -> Who buys machines with a fixed brewing unit, used certainly no toilet brush but relies on the washing power of his bowl ...
2. The machine has 1850 watts of heat with 15 bar pump pressure -> rare in this price range
3. For the 400 euros you get a machine that both coffee, espresso, Capuchino, tea water, milk froth -> also see good ausgiebt with cocoa -> This is also cheaper but not from an established brand Herstellter
4. The machine has optimal dimensions -> Who buys a coffee after the appearance to present the tea party, the purpose of a coffee machine, so I guess not quite understand.
5. The handling is kind of simple that you could almost miss one or the other -> There are no configuration options with x-fold nested menu functions
6. Water and beans are to fill up. Whether you take out the water tank every time is a matter of taste. Since the machine is flat on top, the hot water output port as well as a measuring cup can be parked there forever.
Earlier here the lid was criticized that could be easily removed. That had the beautiful charm that you could push the device in a recess or under a wall cabinet. This is now no longer, it has to be at least 30cm space above the machine in order to remove the water tank can, or it is to use a measuring cup ...
7. Information on volume ... my perception of volume ... and the comparison with a blender or with a Moulinette (to write it that way.?!?) ... Results in a moderate volume. Since the machine is compact and the housing now no sound insulation is installed, it can be assumed that a coffee grinder is accordingly loud. Who wants to have it quieter and I do not mean the 2-3dB other manufacturers probes quietly .... please let him grind the coffee by hand, yes !?
8. To taste, in my opinion, the main knock-out criterion, -> On the coffee is what matters. I trade in addition every day, the water in the tank and use the Saeco filter for the water tank. As bean comes to me only NewYork coffee in the mill-> expensive but very good, light cocoa note, little bitter, has blown away when I saw the have the first drink times (in a coffee outside) and was the main reason me this machine to buy. For a barista nix NewYork Coffee is naturally in a fully automatic machine. The machine can not support all the flavors of these beans to day ... clearly. But was important to me as little as possible to have bitter substances in coffee. The Crema this machine is very good for this price and the milk foam is correspondingly equally well. On top of that I can clean the brewing unit and the entire interior regularly, so I do not have to conduct the fresh coffee over coated with old coffee fat components (Only the output circuit must be rinsed with tablets). But that is true everywhere!
9. The brewing unit ...
Equal first, and I had some time, not at the beginning, coffee powder under and behind the brewing group ... Nice big pile and the whole interior fully. The cause is a sloppy-lubricated piston of the stamp, which ensures that the punch by reference no longer completely moves down. If the machine then grinds new coffee, crowded them so the next to the small interior Brügruppe and find it all.
Where kommts, well, when cleaning the brewing unit go many, like myself, to the tap, hot water and topsy method before (best yet with Spüli). It follows the washed very little dimensioned grease on the piston rod and the brewing unit is stiff. As a technician, it was completely dismantled for me a light the brewing, to clean, lubricate and reassemble. Effort 30 minutes for the layman, this is sometimes not so easy ... You can do this but can also make the coffee service every few months if you are not sure. Because, in that the brewing groups in construction are all the same, this factor could be felt in all other manufacturing -> unless of course there's a powerful engine with high transmission indoors which nevertheless continues to turn the stiff brewing unit in initial position .. ..ob that's really good? I doubt that! There is a reason why things are lubricated and greased hinges .... see ... the squeak so beautiful ...
For maintenance requirements, even a fully automatic machine needs to be maintained. Whether from Saeco or by law, or by WMF, everyone wants to care !!! Who says this machine is very maintenance-intensive will not brush his toilet -> See No.1!
I change every day the fresh water in the day, the filter according to instructions every 2 months, according to the descaling, the Entfettungstablette 1 times per month. Water drawer and coffee residue container min. 1 time a week, the brewing unit einamal the week (no longer completely only cautious of the page) stamp chamber, wipers and screen holders, interior with small brush and vacuum cleaner once a week, the cappuccino maker every 2-3 days (there are special milk foam cleaner z. Ex. espressovision.de) and I can say .... my machine looks after 6 months as new, the coffee tastes great.
For I do not need the milk foamer 3 minutes interior and brewing unit for 10 minutes and drawer parts 3 drive .... So love housewives, because you need some people longer to tie his tie ....
The machine is also available with stainless steel cover for X euros more expensive, because the coffee ... then even tastes better and I with Me ... A Ma ... t the sayings such as, "What a vile plastic device will nevertheless no putting down ... the looks with stainless steel much better can start from "nothing. You get for around 400, -, plus cleaning 30, -., Milk cleaner 12, - (lasts a long time) and clever beans New York Extra XXXX example exactly that what you would expect, very good coffee .....
A star deduction, because I did that on the punch and the coffee powder must find out for yourself that help people help themselves is not sufficient here !!!! and because the milk frother is not built so variable that you can change for. ex. on direct reference to bag ... but who would take then the more expensive machines.
One more thing to the conclusion of a tea party with 12 people, the machine is less suitable, the benefit period is too long ... a Jura Impressa S9 is felt 10 seconds faster per cup ... but also costs more than double for ... you get 20 kg good beans for the next 5 years .... :-)
