I received this coffee machine some time ago and my mother is even more passionate Kaffeetrinkerin than me, I thought that this machine quite a good
Could be a replacement for its somewhat somewhat dated Jura machine and have it organized so the same model as a gift.
My mother is passionate Kaffeetrinkerin and drinking a whole lot of coffee. In the morning at 6.00 there are the first and five in the morning to go to bed before then the last. She loves coffee in all its variations, may also love coffee mixed drinks, open bar and cappuccino, but preferably he prefers the good old delicious freshly ground coffee. For over seven years, she has a very good time and modern, but now something the old fashioned Jura coffee machine and this had now then a heavy heart but unfortunately times be replaced by a new model.
A good time to even change the manufacturer and to embark on something new.
The new should be something more than the old one can not have the old, you want to be him some day develop a bit further, but not be too complicated to use. Press five times somewhere around then in the desired menu or rather to come to the desired coffee should not be, because the mom is what technology concerns not sooo versed - Press once coffee, thank delicious.
Alone, by design, the Intelia Evo looks much more modern and prettier than old Jura. The law was rather box-shaped and almost a little frumpy, the rounded corners and the silver, the Intelia already antrhanzitfarbene act as much prettier and makes in the domestic kitchen already more ago - an eye-catcher when the girlfriends afternoon times come to a coffee and then some envious look;)
Cool it would of course, if there were these machines in all possible color variations - straight women take something of course much more from. In the existing colors to a model integrates so naturally in almost every kitchen - in pink, the mom would love even more quickly in this machine as it has already done it.
The unit should then be a Christmas present for mom reasons mentioned above. When they wanted at home eintrudelte 23 naturally directed first all eyes on this great package - big, but not hard, another plus of this device. Since we did not want us rumschlagen ages with the manual on Christmas Eve, there was ever an early Christmas present and we have the equipment equal unpacked and then it should also try the Mama equal once alone - as I said, not so technologically adept, with the holds art with such a device, of course limited, but everything is of course new first unknown and strange.
So the mom just let me, unpack, read the operating instructions, prepare everything and pour and - much to everyone's surprise - was the mom then already felt after five minutes enjoying the first coffee.
The operation is relatively self-explanatory, as you indeed see in the video. There are not many buttons and a pinch you can just try pressing how to get his coffee without manual. The display is self-explanatory in almost all areas. The unit is very quiet compared to other devices of this type. The coffee is also quite very warm as compared to other coffee machines. The milk handling is also very simple - as compared to a more expensive coffee machines still somewhat cumbersome, but like I said, compared to the old everything much less complicated and easier - it does not splash so much, is easy to handle and easy to clean.
As Vieltrinkerin then falls to very quickly that the water tank actually contains a little water, you have a lot of drinkers often refill and empty the grounds container more frequently. This is of course very quickly and it's not that bad, if you change the water frequently. Especially when you have guests, you can have as ever to do well. The falls on, but ultimately it handles that take in a well-organized kitchen is not much time.
In the milk nozzle should be definitely exercise caution - it is hot - very hot and you can easily burn your fingers really nasty. Since I question why that was not much better isolated me. Especially when smaller or younger children are visiting, you should keep an eye on that they do not come near the device and also you yourself should take care of his little fingers. It would be really highly recommended if Philips nachbessert in future device generations! Good though, is that there are two milk hoses, you thus equal has a spare milk hose. In my Saeco Royal I had times a reorder and am almost flabbergasted like when I was told what this simple little hose will cost - so always cleaned well, so it will last a long time!
The coffee machine must be cleaned in relatively regular and descale especially. Although we have to descale an extra water filter, the machine must still be decalcified relatively often. They probably would have to be not so often decalcified in reality, but I'm assuming that just automatically the machine the descaling mode activated after 500 brewing operations - but rather once too much than too little decalcified, because nothing is more annoying than so a machine gives up her mind because of lime after a few years.
As shown in the video, it is very annoying that you can not really with the machine to make a latte macchiato, if then only very complicated since normal or even larger Macchiato glasses do not fit under the Kaffeedüse. Here one has to enter the milk with the milk fill function into a glass, then brew an espresso and the whole then together fill - drink macchiato latte primarily for people is this process VLT. not just the first choice. As I said, it is in theory, the practice is unfortunately to complicated for my taste.
Conclusion:
The conclusion is quite ambivalent. I also possess a right, larger, more expensive coffee machine, also from Philips Saeco, which can significantly longer. The preparation of cappuccino, latte etc, was much easier, or even directly integrated into the functions of the device. As the device also "coffee machine" runs under name, I actually expected that the machine all this may be just that. Of course, the price difference maßgebebend, but my previous experience, the price beats especially in cleaning costs down, the more expensive the machine is, the less complicated, especially the cleaning.
On the other hand then my mother, who previously had a model that the Intelia Evo was relatively similar and it has been and continues to be very excited about this device - definitely one of the most beautiful Christmas present in recent years from a practical standpoint. Therefore, you have to think I always know what you want and what you are looking. But I think and just hope that everyone here can get an idea for the video, and this, as well as also very good and detailed other reviews themselves.
All in all I would therefore say that it is a top device, if you know what you're getting yourself - my mother is certainly enthusiastic and we all hope that Siem Meanwhile least keeps as long as the old one, if not a little bit longer.
