Below are my impressions / experience after intensive testing, a significantly increased coffee consumption and eventually an incredulous shaking Kopp: [+] Easy commissioning; good manual [+] Good, non-slip stand [+] Removable filter element (for filter bags size 4) [+] The water tank can be filled without problems; lateral water level is easy to read [+] The heating and brewing process takes place quite fast (faster than compared to other coffee machines in this price range) [+] The showerhead technology works well ... a higher flavor intensity I can, despite the use of a very good coffee blend, but not determine [+] Good, I like the 1-4 cup option: a clear aroma boost [O] Capacity 1.25 liters [O] nowadays standard: automatic shutdown; Drip-stop function; Hotplate (~ 45 minutes) [O] the design is spectacular, something Globig to my mind // course stands the digital control element + Timer out ... works fine, but I use this function in everyday life not [O] the red light ring at brewing + hot attitude is a nice gimmick ... but nothing more [-] The connecting cable is too short (~ 60 cm) [-] From the first moment of commissioning to be heard distinct sounds (humming, whistling, buzzing). My hope is that this sound sets after a certain time, is not met. Even after more than a week is this continuous noise present in constant intensity. The positive aspects were listed for quite a good rating (~3.5 - 4 Stars) can range - the never-ending and extremely annoying operation noises, however, are beyond the pale and not to accept. Coffee has since been removed from our kitchen. Therefore, I only a 1 star rating = Like not remain me. [Reinhard Busse]
