Previously I had a Krups Nespresso machine, had but given away and gained me the DeLonghi. The Krups is not bad, but my was burgundy and I wanted to bless someone with it, and I like a plain black prefer. (Otherwise I would keep the Krups.) But some things are different: The DeLonghi has more automations. They switched to 9 min by itself from the Delonghi starts when putting in the capsule and the slide closes (if it is heated) While the Krups Alufläche the capsule more riddled makes the DeLonghi two large holes. (I do not know if that has an effect on the taste? I taste no difference!) The Delonghi EN 210 BAE need in the kitchen less parking space, water tank and cappuccino maker can be moved. A bigger About Sliding Surface side, as in the Krups, I think is not useful, because you have to, too clean and the machine anyway usually stands on a kitchen work surface. Emptying and cleaning of the round, small overflow under the cup is easier because it is attached with a magnet. (For larger, higher cups letting him off. (The Krups had here a flap that can be in a vertical position.) One has to determine the amount of water for small espresso, normal espresso and double espresso in the Delonghi three ways. The election is possible through three task Auxiliary displays. When Krups two snaps were there. In the DeLonghi So more electronics are installed. The described by me DeLonghi cost me 140 (now 150), while the Krups comes on now to almost 200. In any case, both make a good espresso, better than some large and much more expensive machine! Models with larger overflow area and as my DeLonghi there are now both of DeLonghi and Krups the gestripptere version. Only the price is always different and the look a little.
