Had the previous model. This device converts the extra cost to the previous absolute. Fully removable for cleaning coffee spout to. Machine are different from the predecessor of no coffee when the cap is not closed. Bigger water tank anyway. Descaling works just fine. Adjustable spout leaves more leeway. Piano finish looks classy and everything seems solid. Who the machine too much noise just makes turn the bottom plate and the cups are bombproof.
Conclusion: It has improved the disadvantages of its predecessor consistently. A significant added value.
