There were several basic conditions that had to be fulfilled for me:
- The water must meet the ground coffee with a brewing temperature of ~ 94 ° C.
- Coffee should be kept hot at a temperature of ~ 80 ° C.
- Automatic Descaling or descaling
- Termoskanne
- Removable water tank
Nice to have been:
- Automatic selection of the optimal brewing process depending on the desired amount of coffee.
- Attractive appearance (stainless steel)
In the end I ended up with this machine from Siemens and have not regretted my purchase. The coffee tastes great, but enough of course not match the capsule of Nespresso and Dolce Gusto. For this reason, we have incidentally also brought us a small capsule machine with which we treat ourselves now and then an espresso or latte macchiato.
The only negative point for me is that quite voluminous size of the device (base) and the need to have in addition still left of the machine have space available so that the filter container can be opened completely.
If you can live with the size of the machine and good filter coffee like, will not be disappointed with this machine.
