With the company Krups we had always made to purchase this unit good experience. Therefore, the decision for this device is not an easy decision at that time, especially since we design and compact form had convinced. In addition, we the free extended warranty appeared to three years as an indication of good technical quality and was thus for us a further reason to opt for this device.
The handling and cleaning Automatic proved then the product description in accordance with acceptable and therefore. The quality of the coffee and the espresso is highly dependent on the type of coffee used. It ranges from good (in coffees for 14 euros per kilo and more) to less than satisfactory (with coffee for about 10 euros).
A decisive disadvantage of this device is its need for repairs. In the three years we had time to send in a variety of reasons for repair to the service center of the company Krups Solingen in the unit 5. Three times the complete brewing unit has been replaced, once the entire machine and another time the mill was broken. Since the brewing unit of the replacement engine had to be replaced twice, the assessment of the need for repairs can not be on a copy (so-called. »Sunday work") are limited but well seems to affect the entire genus.
Postive was in this context that the service has been completed satisfactorily, get initially a Leihmaschine, later we had a spare machine for usually a week-long repair time itself.
Another significant drawback is the volume of the mill. During operation, no longer be heard in our small kitchen his own word. Therefore, the machine is completely unsuitable in particular for open plan kitchens.
