A fully automatic, which need fear no comparison

After several years of use of capsule machine I had enough of the madness and packaging of nannying consumers by the manufacturers. Since I love to drink coffee and Macchiato also from time to time bar or cafe au lait, the new machine should be level, these functions and be easy to use and cleaning. Especially with regard to the latter has been fast becoming a KO_Kriterium for Jura machines. Saeco came to me out of the question, as I because of my experience in the office (there Saeco machines are used) and in the circle of acquaintances little positive to say about these devices. So the circle of possible suppliers shrank to DeLonghi, Siemens (or Bosch as identical) and just Melitta together.

Was to read often felt after endless long search and reading several reviews, because in that the coffee at Siemens / Bosch machines tastes more bitter and burned, still remained Melitta and DeLonghi left. The design language and mostly positive reports and the fact that the machine of Melitta here was at this time at Amazon offer, made me decide to buy this device.

No sooner had the package arrived, it was unpacked with anticipation and I was a little surprised - the machine is quite large. The installation and initial start-up designed very simply - the manual supports this and much is very intuitive to use. After I had the first two cups of coffee can test through, it was now working to see how the coffee tastes. So Cafe Crema set and off we went. The coffee is very hot after cooking, if you like it a little less hot, the cup must only leave a little. The Crema comes beautifully and the taste is impeccable - at least with the coffee beans that I use. After several other coffee, I set out once latte macchiato, café au lait and to taste all the different "recipes". Since the machine has only one tube for milk supply, which I think is only conditionally hygienically, I have the milk lance from WMF even ordered me to do so. The hose can be connected without any problems and can be on the knob of the milk lance the consistency of the milk foam very good influence. I have now found a setting in which the milk foam is nice and firm, ie it does not drip from the spoon. Perfect for my taste.

Depending on the recipe, there is a pre-set quantity of preparation and strength, but that can be the basis of various buttons (+/- or Slide) arbitrarily set. Here I would wish me that the keys respond something immediate. Coffee bean container, water tank and drip tray are a bit undersized, if you drink a lot of coffee - for me it's still okay, because I found the drip tray empty anyway after using the machine, etc. The cleaning of the brewing unit and otherwise is very simple and intuitive and it can also be much easier to use again, as I know it from Saeco devices.

My experience with the fully automatic are so far entirely positive, which is why I like to five star forgive!
