I have a small kitchen and am always pleased when I discover devices with compact dimensions that can convince me too high.
EQUIPMENT:
It has a water tank with a volume of 1.8 liters, and a bean container holds 250 grams of beans.
Optionally you can use a water filter, but is not included.
For the grinding of the coffee beans, the grinder provides with its grinding discs made of ceramic. These work exactly and to remain sharp for a long time. The grinder 5 can be adjusted in freeness levels and should not overheat.
He has a memo function, with which you can save the grinding stage and the amount of water and temperature and call at your fingertips.
For the milk froth there on Saeco machines integrated frother. A milk container is not included. But you just can directly take a pot or even the milk bag.
The manual is plentiful illustrated and immediate understanding.
OPERATION:
Kaffestärrke and the cup size can be individually adjusted and saved.
A nice big display up on the front provides easy to understand symbols.
Coffee, espresso, cappuccino and hot water can dial in via hot keys, so there is no lengthy input needed.
Other settings are accessible via the menu button.
Practical: The spout is adjustable in height, so fit all cup sizes including.
The Minuto has a very short warm-up time. This is useful if you want to provide more people with coffee.
There are no long waiting times. Also works beautifully quiet.
Unfortunately, the water tank can be removed only from above. This is a bit inconvenient in my case, since the machine halfway under
a shelf disappears. I need him so Always prefer a piece before I can change the water.
While this is fine for me, but a lateral removal would demand been -in my opinion- meaningful.
CLEANING:
All items are dishwasher safe.
For cleaning of the milk foamer lets you easily through hot water. The rest of the cleaning takes over the Saeco mostly self. With the integrated programs, it can be descaled, cleaned and rinsed. For a thorough clean-up also allows the brewing unit completely remove, clean under running water and use directly again.
