The disadvantage I find that the supplied water tank is really rather small in size with 700 ml, the previous machine had since 1.2l what's better, just at two coffee drinkers. But as the pad machine yes usually stands in the kitchen and we also usually have running water, the water tap to fill up is also not far.
Another negative point for me personally is that the spout is not adjustable like my predecessor. A normal coffee mug still fits under it, but if you want to prepare times a glass bar or want to take a larger cup, adjust the easy not underneath. My favorite cup with 400 ml no longer fits under it, which was no problem at all previously. The spout - so coffee spout - the new machine consists of a part (so far there were two parts, the inner area was removed and the spout itself, permanently installed on the machine was). At first, this appears not to be a disadvantage but rather an asset, as it can also therefore better to clean the coffee spout holes; but if you have used a Cappuccinopad, shows the disadvantage. Because after the preparation of cappuccino or hot chocolate should not only clean the pod holder but also the drain briefly. The new spout is taken completely out then, and can hold great under running water, so that nothing sets there holding it. Since the pouring part is inside the machine, but flat (in the old machine to the area diagonally had) worked is, remnants of cappuccino foam and then drips stay there even when rausnehmen course out and down on the machine, so you have a rag sometimes short clean a part of the machine; otherwise one has quickly unsightly marks. Looks on a black machine really not tasty. That problem I had not in the old machine; but had to me from time to time make something more elaborate effort, the fixed part of the spout (including the holes) neatly cleaned.
Despite these two negative points - the yes rather include familiarization on my part - I would recommend the machine completely. Because a pinch you can indeed buy NEN sizes water tank and it's also not everyone a coffee guzzler like my one :)
