Visually appealing, technically but unobtrusive coffee.

Well it looks that makes Pro Aroma Krups which held in matt black and contrasting with brushed stainless steel coffee maker in the kitchen a good figure. Operation is simple and self-explanatory. There are two switches, one has to start, which is operating with a blue lamp and a flavor selector switch, which is to provide coffee for full flavor even with a small amount. The power switch has a fixed pressure point, while pressing one must hold the machine with the other hand so that it does not slip away. Otherwise, the Pro flavor does its job unobtrusively, but good and reliable. The brewed coffee with her is hot and tasty.

The opening of the water tank must be filled very nice size and with the dripping teeming pot of left and right well. The scale for the level of water is left on the tank, through the magnifying glass effect of the inflowing water is very easy to read. Is not so ideal, that of ascending during scalding hot steam to cover warped from the water tank, the ends are thereby slightly curved upwards. After cooling, they are but then again plan on.

A special feature of the Pro flavor is the flavor selector switch, with the taste and strength of the coffee can be regulated. When set to 1-3 cups of the water runs slowly through the machine, the coffee becomes a little stronger. In 3 cups it takes almost a minute longer, compared to the normal setting. Something very tight, I find the 30 minutes to the automatic shutoff of the hot plate for 60 minutes should be the user already to drink the coffee machine.

Very useful is the removable coffee filter basket, which can be cleaned with the glass carafe in the dishwasher. Overall, the workmanship and materials make a price reasonable quality impression, the machine should have a fairly long life.

All in all, a nice coffee with adequate facilities, the otherwise unremarkable doing its job. Additional features such as a timer or sound signals when brewing is not in the Pro flavor, it can be retrofitted a chlorine and limescale filter, which is inserted into the water tank. This is quite recommendable, since filtered water through the coffee quality noticeably better and the calcium deposits are much less. Since we already use a Britta filter for tap water, an additional filter in the coffee maker is however no longer necessary.
