Have this Maschinlein now about 5 months in operation and have to say I am absolutely thrilled. Ok, it has a lot of plastic parts but the competition is not even better. (Change every 2-3 months) with the interchangeable water filters is a brilliant thing. So far, no de-scaling required. Every week or every 2 weeks the brewing unit by rinsing with water and a bit of greasing, and every 4-5 weeks can go through a cleaning tablet with the cleaning program finished. Cappucinatore rinse with water after use and every 2-3 weeks with Cappucinatorereiniger of Jura and the thing looks like new after 5 months. Be careful with coffee, cup Preheat is mandatory, otherwise is not really hot. Coffee, espresso and cappuccino taste with the right type of coffee (recommendation: Illy coffee) just awesome. So far, the part does not make any problems, even with the grounds container !!! Just be careful when cleaning that the grounds container does not break off the plastic lug, otherwise a waste container is missing and the machine refused their service and the black gold no longer flows. I'd buy the machine at any time and can recommend it only.
The only problem: Since I have the machine every weekend charges anyone else for coffee drinking.
