chic, quick and practical - my personal highlight is the milk frother
From coffee pad machines I am a fan for years.
For households with extremely a lot of coffee is drunk, although the slightly higher price of pads compared to bulk coffee could be a point of criticism, but if, like me loves his morning cup of coffee, but it is mostly for when one or at most two cups the whole day remains, pad machines are simply ideal:
Each cup is freshly cooked quickly when needed, no open large coffee packs are old and lose flavor and also the purification when the machine is minimal.
After my first Senseo had served us well for many years, I was with my second not long satisfied (they do not even survived the two-year warranty period), but I still like to test the reviewed here new model, and I do not resist especially the corresponding separate milk frother could.
The design is of course always a matter of taste, so this is only so much that I find it quite smart and successful, the color is more green than yellow Allerding what should not necessarily fit into any kitchen.
Not so nice, I find that the machine completely made of lightweight plastic, in combination with other materials they would look even fancier and valent certainly.
The operation is simple; after a first cleaning cycle you go on, select appropriate pod holder and appropriate amount of water (one or two cups) and in less than a minute to get a hot, delicious coffee with nice crema.
Practically, the height-adjustable spout, also easily fit under the large Kaffeepötte.
My personal highlight of this model is the separate milk frother, which is quickly prepared a wonderful creamy, stable, either cold or hot milk foam and easy to clean thanks to the high-quality coating.
The price of the machine is, of course, not without, but when you consider that just the milk frother with separate purchase already with 80 euros proposes to beech and is also equal to two servings Entkalker and three packets of Senseo pads in different varieties (twice Forte, once Vinegar) gets to put into perspective the somewhat, especially since the coffee is really much tastier than with a normal filter machine and the Senseo thus represents a real alternative to the still more expensive fully automatic.
As a little extra, there is a recipe booklet with various recipes for beverages made with milk foam.
Conclusion: great device which offers its relatively high price is well worth for milk froth friends and other coffee connoisseurs.

***************************** ******************** UPDATE **************
_______________________________________________________________________
After only one month not even excessive use of the frother began to weaken slightly, after two months, unfortunately, already massively.
Was the amount of milk that remained liquid in the container below, initially quite small and probably can not be avoided technically, it is now increasingly more.
Is foamed (even with multiple operation) only a very small amount and also because the foam is far more as strong as at the beginning, although the type of milk has not changed.
Basically, the commissioning of the device at the minimum effect that the frothers now brings, worth hardly the effort because a similar result I get on, when I fractured in Tetra Pack vigorous shake before pouring the milk by hand.
Often gets the device even no contact and must be started several times until it is ever in motion.
Unfortunately, this corresponds to my bad experience with my last purchased Senseo machine, which still gave up the ghost during the warranty period, was repaired after various difficulties with the customer although (kludge would be the more appropriate word), it then but still unerringly until expiry the remaining warranty has managed.
My original five-star rating for machine-reviewed here I have therefore corrected to two.
The coffee itself does not (yet);
should there be premature problems again also there, I will this grudge here and possibly even further correct my rating down.
