Customer Review

I have the Senseo Latte Duo now only a week. Therefore, I will after prolonged use might also again change in any review. Previously we had the Senseo 7812 with which we were very pleased. However, I drink macchiato at Strapless bar and necessarily so I wanted the new Latte Duo.
The machine came safely packaged together with the welcome pack. The welcome pack consists of 5 packs Senseo pads + 2 latte glasses + cocoa template + descaler. The Latte Duo looks very nice. The Turquoise is a great accent color in the otherwise black coffee. Also, the square design I like very much. A little complicated, perhaps, is that the water tank on the back is rather than on the side. But I knew already from the last Senseo machine and was thus no surprise.
The machine was built very quickly. First you have to carry out a wash program that has easy work. Then you can make right his first coffee. So now to the individual coffee / milk:

- Latte Macchiato: The three stages of the Latte Macchiato are clearly visible. When the separation, the height adjustment of the glass is considered even better and the milk squirts less. The milk foam is very nice: fluffy, yet firm enough so that it lasts a long time and not immediately collapses. The Latte macchiato tastes delicious (the strength one can possibly even adapt with different pads). But what I do not like: the included glasses are not full. About the froth remain about 2cm square. But should extend at least to the edge of the glass macchiato latte in my opinion, if not a little look ahead to the milk foam. The temperature of the latte macchiato is just right.

- Cappuccino: Even the cappuccino tastes great. But again, I would have liked more volume. In a normal coffee mug He just looks lost.

- Latte: When Latte Macchiato and Cappuccino is in contrast to latte just the coffee in the glass and then the milk. It also no milk froth like Latte Macchiato and Cappuccino forms, yet the milk is very creamy and not to be compared with a coffee with milk.

- Normal coffee: The normal coffee is marked on the display with 2 beans. I think the capacity again, unfortunately too little. In the other Senseo machine you could with a pad fill a coffee cup. This is now no longer possible.

- "Espresso": Espresso can not really call it one. It is characterized on the display with 3 beans. But what I want with a capacity of 60ml? Too big for an espresso, but much too small for a strong coffee. Really a pity.

- Milk: The hot milk is the same as I imagine. Beautifully creamy, with some foam and really nice hot. Perfect for hot chocolate or just because.

Cleaning after milk specialties:
Cleaning after the milk variations I find still unfortunately a bit cumbersome. I also wanted to contact the customer if I'm doing something wrong or doing something stuck in my engine. But let's start with the easy part of cleaning: one uses the machine for more than 30 minutes after the last milk specialty not, she shall be clean: this one hangs the milk cleverness in a glass with fresh water and presents under the milk spout a cup. You then press the "milk" button on the screen and even the water running through the machine and cleans milk residues. This is done really fast. Although very tedious because you always need two vessels, but as I know it, even at very high quality coffee machines. But now the difficult part: Once a day should you clean all parts with detergent or they do directly in the dishwasher. Here with me is the top milk is very difficult to get off the machine. You really have to tear it. And even then he sometimes does not go off. In the description is only a set a la: "Pull the milk essay toward her settle him." Is merely just not without huge effort. The first time I have the same time Macchiato thrown from the closet because I pulled as hard as the dairy essay broke up once my bar. Meanwhile, I have it let's try more than one person and no one could pull it off easily. Therefore, I rather suspect that something at my machine hangs. If someone has a trick, I take the contrary like !!

The one negative I else in the coffee, that the water tank must always be filled with at least 450ml. Otherwise, you can let out no coffee. I think that's been really very poorly constructed. On the side of Philip, the order stated that one macchiato latte for 2 this amount of water needed. But even that will not quite in my head: A latte macchiato consists of 100ml 100ml coffee and milk. Of course, one required for the milk also some water in order to heat it and to create the foamed milk. But even if one generously assumes that you need 50ml of water per milk to get in 2 Latte Macchiato still only 300ml required amount of water. The fact that the water tank has only 1l volume that is really bad solved.

All in all I have now given this machine still 4 star. Simply for the reason that I find the way to a pad machine milk specialties produce great. But the water tank and the coffee sizes are really a big minus. Maybe you should better Senseo Order 7857, as with this you can seemingly set the coffee size.
