I'll start times on the positive:
Price: lower segment; Price / performance in my eyes the best!
Cleaning: really simple, removable brewing unit, interior as far as the clean operation, it can be found only dry ground coffee ever here and there (so no mold in the interior !!!) Only the coffee residues tank ("tank tests") moldy. but that's normal in wet coffee residues. Those who do not want to have to stop making empty the thing displayed before emptying interval. A friend has a new JURA for more than 600 since the entire interior rear visibly moldy. Brew Group can not take out since. A joke like that. Who has seen once the drinks from coffee kenen more! When DeLonghi that's not an issue.
Settings: Also easy (but this is also a disadvantage see below) Adjustable coffee quantity, water quantity and degree of grinding (coarse / fine) of beans. Likewise, the water temperature in 4 levels can be adjusted.
Refill: water tank very easy pull-out and refilled; Coffee beans simply pure top - done!
Taste (of course subjective):. After a long rumtesten with various coffees I now use Jacob's coronation or delicatessen scarlet runner beans. Setting: freeness "5" coffee quantity "2" water "max". The whole thing in a small coffee pot with about 180 ml content. Merwürdigerweise the cup shape also plays a role - the best I find the Ikeatassen the bottom narrow and then wider at the top. Tastes great to me. Elsewhere now tastes hardly a coffee that's the disadvantage :-)
Neutral: The lack of electronics it is not possible for 1 cup and 2 cups of different amounts of water and coffee quantities prestore. It must be always adjusted with the knobs. I have taken this marks on the scale.
If you want to fully make the "1 cup" operating a "coffee pot" (those big cups) with approx 200-250ml not sufficient amount of water. Had to interpret the scale-rule sets and different I think. So you must then work in the 2 cups mode.
The eco-off time can not be regulated (as is at 4 hours)
Negatives:
The machine makes after each switching on and off a flushing which prop. Would not be necessary. Here a "day" timer would ensure a flushing a day rich ... Saves water and energy. Under the outlet I always another cup are not allow the rinse water runs into the drip tray.
The grinder is really loud.
If there is no water at power prev more. Made no flushing. Will not be rescheduled after the refill.
Caution: When cleaning the remains of container appears when you turn takes place no flushing. Then you clean the container and close the front door again flushed the machine immediately! Scalding! Deducting 1 star!
