Basically, the machine is very good. The advantage of this machine, if the heating system fails, the water can heat up a kettle too. As one, in contrast to other machines, here can open the lid. The engine is somewhat more slim to its predecessors, this relates to the depth and height, the width is the same. This wasted the machine less space in the kitchen. The Aroma Selector has little effect on the flavor. As a rule, the first coffee tastes from a machine always a little Kuststoff, but I have found here many years ago the solution. You simply decalcified the machine before using a commercial descaling agent and then cleans all significant groups. Except for the Arome Selector I am well served with the machine !!!
