The coffee machine makes visually very sophisticated look, however, it soon becomes clear to the touch that it is made of plastic and therefore is shaking the one or another location or creaks. The water tank is located on the left side, the waste water and coffee grounds container on the right. The beans are filled up. The surface for placing the cups can be adjusted in height. However, the mechanism makes a wobbly impression, where he after three years of use, still works perfectly on my machine. The shelf can be removed for cleaning.
Service
When it comes to setting the Odea Go to the absolute minimum. There is a large rotary knob when the coffee output volume can be adjusted. In the center of the wheel is the coffee button which must be pressed to start the coffee preparation. It can also be pressed twice, then two milling processes are automatically performed and spent two cups of coffee.
In Bohnenbehäter is the screw for adjusting the grinding degree, ie the strength of the brewed coffee.
The water tank and the waste water and waste container are kept very compact. To frequent emptying or refilling will not get you around. It is annoying that you can not see without removing the water tank, how much water is still contained. Consequently, it may happen that the coffee making is canceled due to lack of water in the middle of brewing. A transparent bar at the water tank would have solved this problem.
The Mahlmechanik is easy to remove and clean. In three years of use (about 5 grindings daily) there was no defective. Exemplary.
The milk frother verichtet his duties properly, and I still reach due to the cleaning effort for simple handset. About the Aufschäumerdüse also hot water can be output, which works perfectly.
Coffee taste
Who expected a totally balanced coffee in coffee house style does not come at his expense. However, I am extremely satisfied with the taste in relation to price. The common pad machines (previously I had the standard-Senseo pad machine) are exceeded by far. However, I'd no sweeping statement to give flavor, since it is precisely when it comes to coffee tastes could not be more different.
Pros & Cons
+ Quality appearance + Easy to use + Cleaning with little effort + Long-term reliable operation + Heavy coffee flavor
- Material processing only average - Water, typesetting, and waste water tank is very small Read water level not by outsiders -
Conclusion
The taste of the prepared coffee fulfilled my expectations to the fullest satisfaction. The simple and intuitive operation, the preparation falls out extremely simple. In my opinion, a very good coffee machine for households with more than two coffee drinkers. For more frequent users Empty the coffee grounds container and the constant water filling can strain the nerves. It is very annoying when the brewing process is aborted due to lack of water. The lack of possibility of water level verification without that you have to take out the water tank, prompted me to deduct a star. Nevertheless, it is my opinion a very good coffee machine with a decent price / performance ratio.
