They were looking for a machine for a household in which
- Only a coffee drinker was present (therefore a fully automatic machine was not worth price limit was 200 euros)
- A wide range has been desired to pads at a low price (therefore no capsule machine)
- Sometimes a latte, cappuccino or latte macchiato has been desired (therefore with milk system)
- Sometimes a cocoa for the children will be made,
- A fancy machine was searched in black.
2. Unpacking / Installation / Cleaning
- When the plane arrived, I was initially surprised at the size. Unlike working with the same pad system Senseo machine or Nespresso device, the machine achieved quite "fully automatic measurements". So you need some space.
- The processing is impeccable. The machine looks chic. The glossy surface is of course a bit more care than it would have been a dull one.
- The machine is grds. easy to use. However micht quite as intuitive as the simple Senseo or Nespresso devices.
- The milk system of course requires regular cleaning. This is - just what the hose terms - connected with some effort, which has greatly reduced the use of the milk system after the test phase. This is ultimately but in almost all machines with milk system so (except Caffeo CI with automatic EasyClean system).
- From time to time you should also be a special cleaner for the milk system through because all germs and grease do not get a milk system mechanically mE.
3. Coffee taste
- The coffee taste naturally depends heavily on the pads. Here there is a very wide range. You really get the pads, unlike for example the Nespresso capsules in almost any supermarket.
- The taste is stronger than from the same pad at a Senseo. At the level of a Nespresso machine or a fully automated he comes close but not quite yet.
- The milk system is operating properly, even though the milk foam is not quite as perfect as the many fully automatic machines such as the Caffeo CI (but therefore also 4x as expensive).
In the Summme I give the device four stars and would buy it again.
