By providing machines such Senseo that good coffee for fast insertion of a pad in a matter of seconds after pressing a button or by Kaffeevollautomaten is nowadays quite spoiled. The Gaggia RI9403 / 11 still brings something to work with. Also, the filter holder must be cleaned after each use. Some parts are made of high quality plastic, what should it be so inferior, I however can not understand quite. It kinds of metals have also been criticized for coffee machines and aluminum parts. A comparison with the highly acclaimed predecessor, I can not draw, because I did not use it. I can only comment on a result, the supplies of this machine and I'm done, even if it is less problematic with coffee machine or Senseo.
