Machine:
The machine is top on the first impression. I find everything very well thought out, as I already knew from other Nespresso machines. A real drawback I have so far can not determine. My Le Cube was not defective, but I liked the new design and a few product highlights irritated me, me zuzulegen this machine in addition.
Everything is meticulously crafted and can look very sophisticated. Specific the Alupanele on the side of the machine and the massive metal bracket to the capsules clamp look fabulous.
The dimensions are really small. The machine is mini and at the beginning you're still skeptical about whether there is something similar as with the big brothers and sisters coming out.
After turning on the two reference keys for Espresso and Lungo flashing white on until the machine has heated up. This is done in a record 25 seconds. Very practical and useful, I find the function that you immediately after power already can press a key reference. Once the machine is ready for heated it then produces the selected product. I'm doing this so every morning without capsule. While I then prepare the rest of my breakfast, the machine will be rinsed before and preheated the cup simultaneously.
Now clamp the capsule of their own favorite variety and choose the product and you get a, in my view, very good coffee or espresso delivered.
When I open the lever back now, the used capsule falls into a small collecting container, which is illuminated white when Designgag. At low water level, the color of the container changes to red :-). Under the container there is again a collection tray for excess water from the capsule out of the machine and also the water from the drip tray is collected here. These 3 parts must be cleaned quickly and easily.
The crema and temperature are identical to the other devices of Nespresso, in my view.
Also brilliant is the automatic shutdown. After 9 min. (Also at 30 min. Adjustable) the machine switches off.
I am more than satisfied to date and do not regret the purchase. Therefore, before 5 stars.
Nespresso:
Now a few words about themselves Nespresso. We read again and again by people in recessions, which extends over the high prices (espresso 33 cents or 3 exclusive varieties 37 cents, the Lungos 35 cents), the environmental impact of aluminum capsules and buying the capsules only Nespresso directly (in a Nespresso Boutique, Internet, phone) to complain.
I think that one has to deal with these issues themselves and then should decide for themselves. But these are the questions is clarified beforehand.
For my part I see the system for me just be the perfect solution. In a single household I do not have long to clean the machine (as in a fully automatic). The coffee is fresh at about 3-4 cups a day and I can depending on my taste choose a different variety for every cup. The coffee tastes very good and I find justified the price.
A system like Tassimo or Dolce Gusto came to me because of the dry milk out of the question. Since I use my Aeroccino (times on Youtube or Google Enter) and make me prefer a fresh cappuccino or latte macchiato.
