Customer Review

Hello everybody,
since today I am now the owner of a MyCup.
As a friend of mine has a Senseo and I was of their coffee and crema always fascinated, I was curious what the Melitta machine thus makes since.
Well, today the MyCup came so I've obviously equal unpacked and set up in the kitchen.
Visually, it has done the same to me, she is very smart and in my opinion more beautiful than the Senseo.
The workmanship is very good, it rattles nothing, the locking mechanism is solid, the machine makes a very high-quality impression.
As I have now carried out according to the manual, the first three cleaning operations, I do not care noticed that the MyCup is much quieter in operation than the Senseo.
Well, now it was time for the first coffee. I got the "Normal" bought the same for testing roasting of Melitta and the "Dark Roast" of Senseo because I wanted to test equal to the two different pad formats.
I started with the Melitta pad. These pads have compared to the Senseo little more content, 7.5 g to 7.2 g. The amount of water I have adjusted to a normal coffee cup, so the water flow regulator on the next item (from the "middle cup" towards "large cup "saw) asked.
The coffee was then completely fix ready, but already during the concoction me the low crema formation is noticed. When the coffee was ready then, a really just quite thin crema layer was present.
That should not bother me now on, important was the first taste. And he convinced me immediately. The coffee tasted awesome good. I was excited.
But back to Crema: The Crema was the percolation different compared to Senseo - She was considerably less than in the Senseo, but creamy and she gave the coffee a very "harmonious" Note - not as "beautiful-moderate" as in the Senseo, but just somehow different, more "coffee Eiger". I find that difficult to describe. :)
Another positive point of MyCup: If the machine with the coffee Prepare finished, drips no coffee. The drip plate remains clean always nice.
What the temperature of the coffee is concerned: I have nothing to complain about on this. It is totally sufficient. I have never understood what to complain about in the Senseo at the temperature of the coffee, even there he comes out neatly hot. Even after adding milk the coffee was still hot enough. The milk just briefly heat in the microwave - Who's there but has a problem; (as well as a normal filter coffee would cool down excessively That no half cup cold milk may be added, goes without saying.).
Thus, the cup was emptied in no time, so I've tried myself on a Senseo pad.
This went to a little correction, press the bottom (should nothing survive) quite well in the MyCup pure, when closing but you had to push a little more, as if you had a Melitta pad inserted.
The amount of water I have not changed and the coffee was brewed quickly.
The Senseo pad a little more crema has formed, but by far not as much as in the Senseo machine.
Now for the taste: I personally feel that the coffee prepares the Senseo pad in MyCup tastes better when prepared in the Senseo machine. He has tasted less bitter than in the Senseo. This is perhaps the greater pressure, with which the water is pressed through the pad (3 bar when MyCup and 1 bar in the Senseo).
Where a but here the question arises why the crema formation in MyCup despite greater pressure is lower than in the Senseo.
(But you can not say that the coffee from the Senseo tastes bad. He does not, in fact.)
But what is a great advantage of Senseo, is the fact that you can insert two pads here and, indeed, can cause a really big cup of coffee.
When MyCup only 1 pad will be placed and the amount of water that can be adjusted maximum is less than the amount of water in the Senseo when preparing for this two cups (for a large cup).
But I have yet to test whether the coffee is too thin when MyCup when you prepare a great cup, not.
Schade is precisely here that one can prepare fully no large coffee mug - in the Senseo is the as I said, simply by preparing two cups. When MyCup a great coffee mug is just only half full - in the Senseo this is almost filled.
I think it is ultimately difficult to make a recommendation for a machine - both have their advantages and disadvantages.
However, when the taste of coffee in the first place sets, wins the MyCup.
But those who like neat Crema like and like to like to drink're planning a really great cup of coffee, which should refer to a Senseo.
