The machine is made of plastic and is therefore not as high and heavy as other models, so it is cheaper, however, so you can use even the small purse. There are included 16 caps so that you can test as a newbie, what you like, you should look at the intensity and recommended amounts of water, however, before, I personally like my coffee not too strong, but espresso already, so I'm glad you can regulate the amount of water itself also here.
The instructions can be in my opinion to be desired, it is unfortunately quite confusing designed, thank God I had such machines and knew what to do. The machine has no separate switch for on or off, for this purpose it is necessary to press both buttons simultaneously. Off she goes after some time on their own, if I have to leave the office earlier, I prefer always a precaution the plug.
The machine is heated up fairly quickly and then 'you can get started. Capsule, flick button. The coffee tank is enough for 2-3 more cups, the amount I program me in the a key and I've always been a larger amount of weaker coffee and the espresso button normal espresso. The machine makes getting pretty loud noises, but that seems to be on all models, at least for the two that I had / have and my girlfriend.
One shortcoming is the drip, I usually alternate a small cup under, because I really do not like the mess.
Of course, this is not a machine that should be used in a large tea party, because otherwise you can only at the machine to make coffee, but small for the office or the small household with regular coffee consumption can recommend the machine.
The cleaning is simple and the plastic, so that one is not particularly prone to dirt quickly finished.
You can use foreign capsules for this machine, but the need approximately 3 times as long to go through and the machine sounds very weird, so I sometimes am afraid it will explode me.
My Conclusion:
A beautiful little and cheaper variant of the Nespresso machine that is perfect as an office machine or for small households. From my 4 stars.
