After unpacking the unit, adding the water and fill the coffee bean container, you should carry out the basic setting (water hardness, coffee temperature, autom. Cut-off). After that it is only 1 to 2 minutes until you can enjoy the first coffee.
First Impression:
The coffee machine has a sophisticated, feels good and it is really small. With a height of 36.5 cm, width of 24.5 cm and a depth of only 33 cm it also fits easily in small kitchens.
It fit large cups (coffee cups) up to a height of 11 cm to them under the spout. I like that, because I'd rather drink from coffee cups. But more importantly, this is the taste of the coffee. Here I can only say ... absolutely top notch and especially hot. I can as can be judged, because I've had several fully automatic Saeco among others, De Longhi and AEG.
Operation of the device is very simple:
Press power switch, a blue LED flashes during the heating process, it stays lit when the machine is ready for brewing.
In the middle of the device (at the knob) to set the amount of coffee, a (continuously 20-220 ml). To the right are two push buttons (left button: normal coffee or espresso - right key: strong coffee or espresso) to start the brewing process.
LEDs indicate: empty pulp container, fill water tank cleaning, descaling etc.
The drip tray is easy to remove and empty.
So all very easy. Subsequently nor my negatives and positives.
Negatives:
When grind pretty loudly (comparable De Longhi EAM 3000),
even if there is a pint of water in the tank the unit displays "water tank empty"
When frother I find everything very closely,
No hot water output possible (only steam preparation)
Positives:
Space-saving,
nice design,
delicious and hot coffee,
easy to clean,
Trouble frothing the milk,
after the foaming can be done without waiting Coffee,
simple operation of the device
Conclusion: A good coffee machine that I can recommend without hesitation. I would buy it again!
