A chance has led me to this great machine !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have only the competitor as a birthday present to get "Se ...." but I was really disappointed !!!!! Had then a third exchange model another brand get the Petra KM 31.17 and was ever excited !!!!
During this time the back and hers had then asked me on the internet and came across the test winner "PETRA" and ordered here KM 45.01 !!!!
I thought, too, that we the consumer electronics store after all miesere the money returns but we have then a very different model / brand condition !! Therefore, I have both "PETRAS" here.
So the KM 31.17 before genial but the KM 45 exceed it for the delicious milk froth !!!!!
* WOW * I thought, what kind of design and then in black and red
Already the next day came the "Petra" then already on !!!
- So the design is really outstanding and the material is very high quality.
- I like the lateral water tank very well can be tilted and filled from the top ... he no longer has to be removed entirely.
- When I saw all the signs and symbols I thought at first .... achherje .... but it's really very easy to use! The symbols for small to jumbo cup and the symbols for cappuccino and latte are very easy to recognize.
- The lock on the pod holder has been improved
- Chlorine filter very hygienic
- Padkartusche for instant coffee is ..... works for a cup .... tastes great :-)
- The external hose for milk is super !! At first I thought .... ne What is this but ..... an integrated vessel has to be taken out again for the filling, which is not the case here !! I quickly recognized the advantages of the hose. I could fill in any amount of milk in my vessel and produce as much milk froth as I want. That's exactly benefit if you have guests !!
- Cleaning very easy! Durchspühlen simply clear water again instead of milk :-)
- So a bar for example is done in a few seconds !!
(See my pictures above)
- For large glasses you can simply take out the drip tray, that should be no problem :-) Otherwise you just take wide or smaller cups or glasses !!! But as a jumbo cup fits there already topsy :-)
- At first I feel it is a pity that it is not adjustable but in hindsight thought ichmir what if the system ausnuckelt and also there are commercially zich different glasses and cups! What if the predetermined Einrasthöhe does not fit? Then maybe so and I'll take the drip tray out and a vessel with about 13 cm high and fits under :-)
- The extra hot water nozzle is also superclass for Teeoder hot chocolate
- The water / coffee is really hot and there is a super nice crema
- The milk foam is after repeated use really nice. I would say so 80% of my :-)
- The drip tray already scratched but that can not be avoided at all the machines that come from the bottoms of the cups and glasses
POSITIVE: I have turned e-mail to the service side of Petra whether these me in this regard can give a hint and promptly receive a call back !! Very nice and friendly !!!! You can try it with this Silberpolierern but mostly there because unfortunately nothing.
- Commercial pads fit in
- Senseopads not all (not Doppelpads who as a plastic ring drinne) but it's also not Senseo ;-)
- You should put the Senseopad in the chamber for 2 pads :-)
So I am very satisfied! Have the same family and friends get tested, which are also totally thrilled !!!
For milk froth fans or latte fans "PETRA" PERFECT !!!! Or even the more favorable is the pioneer KM 42 (sees only not so hot ;-))
If you're only black drinkers I recommend the KM 31.17
But in any case "PETRA"
*** Lot of manual work at the "PETRA" PRODUCTION ***
Value for money: 4 stars out of 5 (one wants to always spend less ;-))
It smells and tastes every way cheap plastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Already after the once-through washing at the START-UP DELICIOUS coffee enjoyment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE RECOMMEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
