Despite all the criticism, a great coffee

This coffee is our second Russell Hobbs Purple Passion. Our first is almost two and a half years old now, was always a regular basis (every 4 weeks) decalcified, is still working and is now in the garden shed has been "banished" as the successor looks more beautiful than the previous model with an illuminated LED Clock (more chrome, more gloss).

There is the machine itself is not much to say:

--- Yes, the filling opening is rather small. Early in the morning you have to be quite unerringly
--- Yes, it evaporated quite vigorously just before the water tank is empty.

BUT:

--- Our first machine runs completely harmless for two and a half years
--- The coffee comes extremely hot out of the machine, such as brewed by hand
--- The engine just looks great. We have all the Purple Series of Russell Hobbs (except microwave).
