The tea maker is super well packed into the house. Only in the fourth box, I then found it. Wow, even the packaging with the butterflies is a feast for the eyes and makes you curious. Next, one falls a smaller package in the hand in the power cord, the water filter, a few promotional leaflets to the machine and the sample pack are Teekapseln.
According to a brochure is available for the machine good 28 capsule varieties with melodious names like: Jasmine Flowers, Caramel Gourmand, Good Morning Sunshine, Rose Armour, Red Romance. And also varieties such as: Royal Yunnan, Supreme Darjeeling and refreshing mint.
In the sample package are 12 different varieties of the categories: Classic Collection (including Earl Grey Lime), Creations Collection (Red Fruits Delight), Pure Origin Collection (Ceylon Nuwara) and Organic Infusions and Rooibos Collection (including Lemon-Rose Hip sorbet) ,
Unfortunately, the name is not even on the capsules you have to somewhat cumbersome geared to the different colors of caps and rings.
The two supplied manuals (Quick Guide) and the detailed are very good. Photos and described very well. Since you can not go wrong and you immediately recognize, the machine is easy to use.
The machine is also unpacked quickly and contains a really great teacup and saucer. The design of the machine is indeed a matter of taste. But we find it very nice. All parts are well made, can be partially easily removed (eg for filling or cleaning) and everything is compact and well thought out.
The power cable is connected and laid down on the ground.
The extra water filter can use one if you want to be extra-tea water again prefilter. But does not have one. It works that way. If you have the few transport locks removed, you only need a short lead times the cleaning program. Water in the tank, vessel topsy questions and press the button bright LED that will light yellow.
It can then take about 2 minutes until it starts. But then comes fast hot water out of the machine and what a miracle in the water tank light up when operating two bright LED. Toll.
She turns off after a while again from, if you do not use.
The tank is removable, fitted with a lid and easy to fill. It fit into about 1,5Liter. Toll.
The operation is easy. Capsule pick, with the tip facing downwards into the compartment above the front button push and wait. The device should recognize what it is in the capsule and broths him accordingly. For us, the first test of the Lemon-Rose was Hip sorbet. The machine has only three times briefly steamed and then the rest. The tea has cooled hot and tasted very good. The five other varieties tasted were very good.
The used capsule falls when one fills or new only the top flap opens downwards into a collecting vessel.
One can be automatically prepare the tea. But personal cups program. So you can determine the amount of water in which you hold the T button. Release when the desired amount is reached. The machine stops and stores the amount (min max 50ml. 500ml.) Then press again the next time the Movement once the T button 2 in quick succession and you get scalded his personal tea.
It consumes maximum c.1480 Watt.
The maintenance and cleaning is also easy. Tank rinse and dry with cloth, possibly using new filter, run including cup and cleaning program. Empty capsule container. Some removable parts are dishwasher suitable even.
There when it uses a lamp 'filter alert' that indicates when to change it.
For descaling remove the filter and fill descaler and water in the right proportions in the tank. Can insinuate cup and through water until the tank is empty. Then rinse thoroughly, dry and wipe.
The only drawback I've not found locally in trading the capsules. You have to order so online here or at the manufacturer's shop. And then they do not cost just a little (for example, 10 pieces of original Special T - Lemon Rose Hip sorbet - lemon rosehip sorbet - organic fruit - 10 capsules (1 pack) for Nestlé tea machines stand 26/04/2015 9.50). So almost one euro per tea. And there is more plastic waste back in the ton, compared with pad, tea bags or loose tea.
Conclusion: Very nice and very handy little tea capsule machine. Prima accessories, great instructions, including sweet teacup.
Easy to use, easy to clean and it brews quickly and hot. There are 28 different delicious varieties to choose not exactly cheap. The tested have honestly very good to us. Will they be used in any case further. And healthy tea's also well ....
