After four weeks: Price / performance really ok !!!

Like many before me already wrote, especially the espresso has the perfect crema and tastes heavenly. Even the Lungo is without being too intense when choosing the right variety. I would not have thought that you can taste differences so much, but both the individual species as well as the comparison with other capsule machines have very convincing.

She's not exactly quiet, but my feeling is really not too loud. Since the threshold of pain is certainly very individual. Excessive vibration I can not confirm, neither the Lungo, even an espresso on the top shelf. Not even the small metal jug moves even slightly to the edge.

The not very favorable price is understandable if you have the unit in front of him. Much metal, plastic little, everything feels very valuable. I had had to show me the machine in the Nespresso Shop. There are also two heating (?) Circuits. One for espresso / Lungo and another for the foam. No waiting or actions to heat up or cool down, which is very convenient and fast.

For the foams you actually need a little practice. I had read the Cafissimo with frothing and thought it should be no problem. Initially my Maestria foam was very large pores and immediately fell back together, but now I am very satisfied. So stay tuned and practice :-).

When you're ready for good coffee and nice design to pay a still moderate compared with fully automatic price, to do with the Maestria everything right. Who does not need a frothing, can save a lot of money by choosing a more favorable Nespresso machine.

Update after about 6 months
The machine would be descaled once a month. In the Nespresso Boutique initially classified as a known but rare error, brought a call to the service education. One may for consumption use not only the coffee production, but also the Aufschäumdüsenverwendung must consider. The drives the Entkalkungssensor / counter massively into the air. If you compare the water hardness to "soft", a coffee should be tapped directly in the terminal, so that the setting is wirksasm. As compensation I got a Entkalkungsset free and happens to watch. That's certainly a cost factor for the maintenance that must be taken into account with 10 / month.
