Since 1.01.2012 I am in possession of this machine and think I can judge quite well.
Contrary to other reviews I start with the conclusion:
Per
- Design is simple - With a bit of skill and practice is the creamy milk froth and more beautiful than in some other coffee machines in higher price ranges - The coffee tastes (depending on bean quality and brand) excellent - The coffee is hot - The machine is on a "turntable" - easy to get at all the container
Contraindications
- Vibrates the bearing surface for the cups
Now a little more detail ... Some customers who bought this machine, apparently expecting a coffee machine, which reads them every whim - recognize how much sugar they would like and prefer even adds a little fairy dust, so that they feel better. But this is not 1500, - device! Price-performance is excellent, the performance corresponds actually rather more at a higher price. I've seen coffee machines that were much more expensive, although not as much approach it had like this.
There are to my counterpoint a very simple solution, so that the cup does not migrate. Women will know, this silicone strips to protect the hacking (the feet :)). Left and right down to the shelf - the silicone sticks naturally to the plastic - and you can safely hang the laundry, while the coffee runs through. No, wait - this is the finished too quickly. To easily clean the silicon strip pull, wash and wipe the Plasikabdeckung, and off sticking again. Simple Ossi-inventiveness, the customer should strive to attain some time - or give you just the throwaway mentality there and buys a 2000 - - product. (...'m Looking forward already to the comments of dissatisfied customers who feel attacked: D)
The machine has a lot of pressure and the water and pulp container is definitely big enough for a two-person household! If one uses a coffee pod machine, you also have to remove every time the pad. When Odea you can already make about 6 cups of time to replenish water and to dispose of the coffee grounds. Anyone who wants to provide his company with 10 employees, should not skimp on the content thereof, nor remember that this by a nearly 200, - can be supplied on a daily basis "expensive" machine, without that you have to refill anything.
Approximately once a month, lights a lamp and symbol reminds you that you should clean the thing once and descaling. What I personally find very good, because so easily that making coffee may be, the care should not be forgotten. The machine can, however, even though she wants to be descaled be used.
And yes, sometimes the Odea also starts a brewing process only to discover that it is not enough water in the container, and a portion of coffee is transported ungebrüht in the pulp container. I have accustomed myself a peek into the "water drawer" to throw before I cook my first coffee. Is' quite simple right? And costs about 5 seconds.
I'm happy (my guests who regularly latte macchiato and latte drinking too). The Odea Go is, in spite of the small error, worth five stars. And the customers for whom the unit was leaking, has no work or other occurred severe problems have certainly caught a Monday device.
