in search of a coffee machine? Maybe that can help you further. The deals on fully automatic insecure, what should you buy? Important is what I need, to what I value.
Why I have chosen for the machine? Myself is the most important one of hot coffee, which is Melitta Caffeo II Lounge now our third fully automatic. Good coffee get back most machines, the problem is the outlet temperature. At first I had a Seaco, this broke down after 4 years. Then I bought a DeLonghi. Both machines delivered excellent coffee, the problem for me was always the temperature.
I studied in the reviews and Coffee Board, there are many advised to Melitta machine since this was working perfectly here. The machine does not only hot water, the coffee tastes really delicious. My beans to buy at 2 local roasters and from time to time various varieties at discounters or sometimes Tchibo.
The highlight of the machine is the milk frother, as a strong stable milk foam I've always wanted, very creamy and even after minutes have a thick consistency. By Milchaufschämer one is very variable, the Milchschaumdüse has an integrated agitator, all hangs on a lift. I have prepared a variety of lattes. A latte macchiato is very simple to prepare, but I foams only the upper third of a half-filled glass, then coffee and good. Total nice picture, the coffee is stacked clean. I myself like to go to this cafe au lait which one example at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or also gets McCafe. For this I foams half a cup of milk completely up this great blow strikes, you have the milk boiled literally with the superheated steam. Here is the typical milky bouquet, stirring once after that. For this I recommend a Crema Coffee, best with a lot of bitter substances (Robusta). In effect, each is up to the preparation, on for taste. Much more important is that you can prepare both with the machine.
What, unfortunately, this machine is not perfectly mastered a real espresso. It also contradicts a fully automatic espresso is handiwork alone the compression of the coffee that will get the machine simply do not go. Espresso is drunk most of a real Espresso Machines, something is preparing not one instant.
The machine itself has a lot of settings, important for the first time, here you can set the water hardness, who is using the enclosed filter needs to adjust nothing more since then the setting can be accepted. And the importance of temperature. Furthermore, you can set off when the machine is in standby enter.
Very noteworthy is the Starter Pack which comes with the fully automatic, a filter, cleaning rod and a cleaning powder. For this purpose a second drip in flat design.
The machine also has weaknesses, which have for instance the tightly dimensioned water tank, just 1 ltr. summarizes this. The highly acclaimed Double bean container is a bean container which was separated in the center of a slide in the end. Lots of coffee does not fit in there. Despite the name of this coffee machine would make no sense in a lounge. The build quality is just OK, that's better.
But everything can be very good and easy to clean, brewing unit can only be removed completely, and spent coffee container and drip tray are arranged beautifully, my old machine DeLonghi has demanded a lot in cleaning. In the description which is the bean container has been redesigned, who buys the device outside Amazons, should even ask the seller if it is then also to current revised equipment.
For me, the device supplies a highlight represents a fair price, very good coffee, perfect milk foam and if you want you can adjust the coffee so that you burn to it and will have to schedule a few minutes waiting time.
A star I pull off because the two containers do not make the most stable impression. Otherwise very strong buy recommendation. With the machine, you are the coffee artist.
