I had bought this machine for my parents (75). You triken no more than 1 cup of coffee a day and thus a Kaffeevollautmat is not really useful. Zugegebner dimensions, was also a little self-interest in the matter, because I do not particularly like the instant broth that I get offered during visits.
A Senseo was taboo, because my father wanted to have read times, the pads would secrete harmful substances.
Nespresso, therefore resigned, because I wanted my old parents who do not have internet available not expect to have to order their coffee in the Nespresso Club. What is this please?
So the Dolco Gusto by Krups!
Looks nice part. My parents like "Ludo" and somehow reminds me the shape of the game bowling.
So far so good, so let's get started:
The devices unpack!
Is all about just the two. The unit must be put together from cardboard corset Although being considered nice but not work that way.
So either in pairs, if one holds and pushes, pushes, pulls, or it ends up in a cardboard box massacre.
Well, everything is not that bad.
The operating instructions!
We had attended that day 3 generations and available. Everyone tried the imagery in the instructions to interpret but we did not come to uniform results. Somehow, no one was really sure of its interpretation and partly konntne or we did not want to believe not what the pictures suggested.
Images as Zustatz are certainly helpful. But alone it vermage language to ask questions in detail and to answer these and precise.
Clearly it is difficult a manual to "write" and then also in different languages.
But does "something" really be?
The Function!
The device can only 2 functions and in the age of computers.
"Water heating" and "water pump", that's it.
I could not believe it and have even now doubt as to whether I had done everything right.
Can it really seinn that the manufacturer of me expected me to manually and accurately Dosière the amounts of water, depending on the drink or beverage ingredient? No Automatically detect the inserted capsule via a simple coding?
The Results!
Our test series counted many more or less mislungene attempts how to achieve a halfway decent drink.
Espresso and drinks with just one capsule are possible but never really the same. Drinks, where 2 Kaspseln must be used, were all miserable as a result.
Anyone who wakes up in the morning sleepy wants to do that?
Water measure exactly! Always the right cup for the right drink? Or learn as a human being to replace the machine and even accurately estimate the amount of water?
My parents looked not only at a loss, but also shocked by the mountain of garbage that we had produced in the shortest possible time. I Suerte their eyes. Had they brought up us? What went wrong?
Of course, I realized what my parents thought but did not dare to say.
I rose blush. I was sweating and could not believe what I saw.
At the end of the unit, as well it just went grabbed, again, took it and we have never spoken a word about it.
I drink now quiet again my instant coffee when I visit my parents.
Since the packaging ruined, exhausted the coffee and the "instructions" were stained by tears, was no longer thinking about a Umtasuch. My wife was not too bad to set the equipment on Ebay as a "bargain" at the end.
Women can be so hard!
I wonder what people these days moves to tolerate such a machine?
Function and good coffee is not important, as long as the device looks just nice?
I'd rather no longer drink coffee than to come back to the vicinity of such a device.
