This is now my third coffee machine, after I after 4 years due to lack of spare parts from the retailers no longer repaired got a well-functioning of AEG and a super expensive model by De Longhi (1330 -) from the beginning a lot of trouble making, so I him (just out of warranty) finally disposed of exasperation. This unit of Saeco, however, seems promising: it runs pleasantly quiet, producing very good hot coffee in three different strengths and quantities understandable to switch on a button on pictures. It fit cups and cups under the height-adjustable spout nozzle and the amount of water a filling is enough for a two-person household per day. The side mounted frothing (directly into the cup inside for cappucino!) Works perfectly and is very convenient, because you then have to clean not have an integrated milk container cumbersome. Facit: a very cost-effective fully automatic coffee machine for beans or ground coffee optionally with frothing which I like much better than the two expensive predecessors. The written manual could be more detailed in some places and the descaling and cleaning are a bit strange (why only 4 stars).
