I have the WMF1000 for a few days. Of course I have - quite a long time about until I have done but me - at this price. But I was just thrilled the technology and the design. The built-in technology is second to none. The WMF1000 grinds the coffee very quiet. I had until now two other machines in use, a right quality and a delicatessen ALDI ". In both machines the brewing process is louder than the grinding of the coffee in the WMF1000. A really discreet growl is heard, that was it but also already. What knows how to inspire, are small - but nice - Details. For example, the small opening in the drip tray, in which you can put the milk pipe to ensure that the remaining milk can flow. The system of milk frothing has - earned an Oscar - at least for me. Even easier - but effective - it can no longer go. Hose from the milk remove, insert it into the Heißwasserauslaufdüse and start the cleaning program. Hats off! So quick and easy it can go! Toll is also - for me as a techie - the ability to customize almost any beverage. From the milk coffee water quantity, over temperature of the coffee, through to the order of the liquids can be influenced almost everything. I've - been experimenting for several days - from the fun of it. I especially also like the fact that quite a long time with a full refueling "can prepare WMF1000 coffee. The water tank is huge, the receiving chamber for the beans well and also the collecting vessel is lush dimensioned. So a household comes with a replenishment sure one day deal, without something to fill / empty. But now to the most important: The taste of the coffee. I'm almost completely thrilled. - The coffee crema deserves its name! Topp! - Cappuccino is also excellent! - Espresso is really great (have been worse when noble Italians drunk) - Latte Macchiato here is a little less well done (if you're not engaged) - Milk foam is also acceptable, but could be even harder! A few tips at this point: It's worth it in the preparation of Latte Macchiato intervene! One should only the milk selection lever to milk (ie down) make ", be a good shot of warm milk run to this Weis in the glass and then switch the lever to Me foam (as high). Thus, then on the already existing milk in glass a foam cover build. After that the income flowing coffee added the last. However, I recommend yet another variation: Not Latte Macchiato choose as a beverage, but only press the milk button. Then - as described above - milk and milk foam itself and prepare for completion select an espresso. This is the perfect taste!
So and now to a list of pros and cons (in my view) Plus: - Simply delicious drinks - Great Design - High quality - Great brewing system (professional quality) - Size of the reservoir (water, coffee, pulp) - Temperature of the beverage set - Adjustable mixing ratios - Super quiet - Cleaning (fast, easy and without problems) - Informative, beautiful display - An outlet for all - Tall glasses / cups available
Minus: - (Useless for me) cup warmer can not be turned off (wasted energy) - Milk or milk foam has to be set by hand (in which price might expect a small electric valve) - Milk foam is likely to be a little harder - No display / monitoring the liquid level in the drip tray
Neutral: - High, but reasonable price - Very large (but this also big tanks) - Einfüllfach for ground coffee (I do not) - Laying of the milk hose
So I can only advise every coffee Freak: Dear save a little longer and then buy the WMF1000 than a simple box! I would buy again !!! Another tip / a Note: The 500 surcharge for 1000pro you can - so I think - save. The coffee, which comes from the WMF1000 is so hot that you can not with the Jetstream hoisting needs. The cup This feature I find unnecessary!
Note 20/03/2011 Today, after one year, 3/4 "continuous use" I can only say: Absolutely top, never was a problem! I'd buy it in 1000, the WMF again!
Supplement 12.01.2012 Continue completely reliable and several times a day in use! Only (my fault) the holder of the cover is canceled by the bean tank side. Otherwise, absolutely perfect! still my buy recommendation!
