I had read the Petra "Artenso Latte", which made an excellent coffee, but besides the little getting used to designs in which processing has major weaknesses. 2 machines I weggeworfen- after every 1 1/2 years and walked me into too much money (to in my review of Petra more)
So now the transition to Senseo and -very women played for my purchase first appearance, but then the reviews here, a big role in the decision.
Now it stands for 3 days with me and I can report the following:
The Quadrante can be foolproof easily put into operation, the lateral water tank is very advantageous from clack, clack to it without having to move the machine from the wall only forward.
An entire end Processing Senseo seems high but better than what I was used to before. Almost nothing buzzes, rattles or jammed. Almost because the cups wander back and forth, which unfortunately clatters QUITE during commissioning of the machine on the sheet! This is really annoying and annoying.
Among the coffee spout fit through the possible in 2 easy steps height adjustment large, small, thick and thin cups comfortably. ***
The design is chic, only the bluish water tank bothers me a bit, pure black she liked better. "Piano black" is then also over exaggerated ... who happens to have had a piano or a grand piano in front of him, can only laugh about it actually. So let's say the machine is black plastic. ****
Now for the most important, the coffee.
The preparation itself is extremely easy. I had guests and everything went quite fast even with the many cups. But the coffee is not as hot as in Petra, from the machine. For black drinkers totally ok, but you still do off milk, he is only lukewarm. I treat the one in which I first place the cup with a little milk in the microwave, then directly under the Senseo. Voila. However, it's quite a waste of energy. Therefore, and because of the additional work step only ****.
The crema is credited for this price range very well to evaluate. Point repeatedly stated that it - very matters as well as for the taste to the pads used. Everyone needs to find out for yourself. ****
A plastic taste I have not noticed.
All in all, a fine machine.
And now I'll make my first time a coffee :-)
