The machine I packed to significantly low price (I call here times not) immediately, even took two packs of capsules (once the Caffe Crema Lungo and the strong Divinamente). In the office, I grabbed the little machine immediately.
Style: Small (fits in really every cabinet), handy and looks even chic. Buttons are self-explanatory, instructions I needed only to start-up
Commissioning: Fill the tank with water, turn it on and press the nozzle. First comes the air, after a while, a constant water jet machine is ready. Heating time: Short.
First coffee: Open the cover above, insert capsule, close the cover, cup topsy press head (here with espresso cups, the small cup, for the great Lungo). After about 20sec the espresso is ready and hot! Then no more warm-up time is necessary to wait, you can immediately "reprints" if you want to have it stretched somewhat. The second time is not enough coffee in the capsule so that the coffee is not diluted. For flavor, I have already expressed above.
Capsule throw / withdrawal: If you raise the lever on, the old capsule thrown down into the collection container. If the container is full, you can not only insert a more capsules a red ram looks out the drip tray, you can see that underneath provide immediately to the cup.
Water tank: Unfortunately, with just one liter a bit too small, here it is advisable to put a bottle of water next to it, so you can refill quickly. The tank lid is useless, have the same omitted. It would be great if the lid has a fold hinge and you do not have to completely remove the.
Programierfunktion: Holding down the button, the machine is running until you release the button and is stored. Unfortunately, after switching off the machine storing away again. Well, then, "you press stop after". For this purpose, the guide is but too imprecise. A function such as: press 1x = normal, press 2x for twice the amount would be super! You can still cancel the brewing process at any time.
Conclusion:
+ Design - Cup illumination, levers and knobs make a high-quality impression
+ Coffee - delicious espresso with great crema and really hot. Not the tongue please burn!
+ Capsules - you get anywhere near the Crema Lungo (normal coffee crema) while still more varieties, of which a Decaffeinated and between light and strong all. Flavoured missing and probably will not come, only Divinamente has a slight sweet touch
+ Capsules - you get everywhere, even here on Amazon by subscription
+ No registration compulsory and "sect-like" sales concept as with Nespresso
+ Starter - with around 24 capsules is by trial and error with the process for
+ Operation - simple, fast and easy again
Entwas be too small, 1.5l should do the trick - - Water tank
- Programming function - unfortunately after turning it off away (or I imagine myself to be stupid)
Tip: Use filtered water, then the machine stays longer delicious lime-free and the espresso.
Buy recommendation !!!
