When unpacking it is then quite well, if you're a couple, because there already engaged to a decent heavyweight. Included in the package are the way such as dry cleaning utensils (eg descaling agent) and also a BRITA water filter. Here, then, before a bonus, the one here directly a "round" - gets delivered (Carefree) package.
Visually, the device looks better than in the pictures. Sure there is a lot of plastic, which we find a bit unfortunate, but overall there is the appearance but across well and like us!
There is both a detailed manual and a Quick Start Guide. Without reading it will not work with such a complex device, but everything is well explained, understandable and applicable. The device can be combined with 350g coffee beans and 2,2l water filling - this is enough for 20 cups of coffee.
And when it comes to the preparation of coffee, you really have many options (eg coffee, espresso, cappuccino or even hot water or milk as well as freeness, aroma quantity, temperature, etc.). Here you can satisfy almost everyone. Yes, even my husband - who has previously vowed to filter coffee. The coffee tastes just like going to a cafe. Highly professional and tasty and above all individually - everyone can it would prefer to be so set as he. This is of course great if friends come to visit are, because so everyone gets his coffee as he likes him best without us having to make great efforts for it. Because milk and water are heated separately, the Zubereitug the desired beverage is also really fast.
Of course, such a device must be cleaned properly - that already takes some time to complete. But honestly: Even in a "normal" coffee as the pot has to be washed, etc.! With practice and routine these handles are finished in no time.
The milk is insulated containers are visually beautiful, but simple handling is by putting the milk tube directly into the simple cold milk carton and then again verräumt in the refrigerator after use. So you have less cleaning effort.
Through the "Intenza +" - water filter (you can buy more here: Saeco Intenza + Water Filter from BRITA Water Technology, Pack of 3) course you have follow-up costs - which one should consider when buying course. But this one has also a special device are in his kitchen! Furthermore, you can let the machine for 99 year wait at Philipps. Whether this makes sense, use time can be after a few weeks, of course, too early to assess. But what I want to say in any case: With the purchase alone is not enough here. But that's usually the case for more complex devices.
CONCLUSION: An eye-catcher, but this is not only convincing but optics but also by taste. Of course one must consider whether it is one of the frequent coffee drinkers and so worth a purchase. But if so, then we here really get a great device. The coffee machine is absolutely meet our requirements.
