The coffee was decent but not too generously packed with us on. The unpacking and installation took less than 5 minutes. There were no smells of plastic or other matter in the air. With the cable rewind the cable clutter is finally past.
The machine looks visually very good (we find). The stainless steel elements harmonize very well with the glossy, black plastic parts and the transparent plastic tank fits well into the picture. Edel. The water tank can be easily removed and fill and re-insert easily. It is dense and does not drip.
The lid of the thermos is tight (to the outside). To pour a train goes to the button in the handle; the lid folds about 5 mm upwards and is fixed there. To close, simply you have to press the lid back down. The pot can be completely pour down to half a mouthful. The only drawback is the complete opening of the lid, because this is (so far) quite hakelig and often I suddenly had the entire lid accidentally in his hand.
The holder for the filter is durable and does not wobble. They swung out and locked for better filling slightly At the Maximalpostion. The recording for the actual paper filter can lift very light, which makes the same disposal. Even inserting and swiveling the filter is very easy.
The operation is very simple. With the included, very short and reduced to the most important manual, the first start-up in less than one minute is complete. You can operate the machine in standby and receives in an eye-catching red, continuously displays the time. Alternatively, the machine can also completely turn off. (Is a big plus for me). The machine automatically detects when less than 4 cups to be brewed and extended the brewing then, so that the coffee gets its full flavor. After brewing, the unit switches automatically to standby.
The machine also has a timer function. However, we have not tested yet, because we have enough time in the morning for breakfast, and prefer to dispense the ground coffee fresh.
In addition, the device provides an automatic Descaling. With this and a commercially available descaler you start the descaling process and then can be removed at ease. The machine starts and stops the brewing process several times so that the descaling agent can act.
The brewing process itself is spacious and with a normal sound level of equip. The coffee is hot and stays hot long. The pot is tight and there with hot coffee in my stomach and no noises.
About the for taste known and therefore we give here no opinion from. (We like it though)
Conclusion: If you like to drink coffee, is well advised with this device. We would buy again!
