We have some time ago decided to try this coffee machine as our foregoing a Krups was and has held these 8 years until she given up the ghost. And I must say this was a good decision, we are absolutely satisfied. I have previously read by any coffee the opinions of others and then actually did not even know what to Southbound. I would buy this machine again any time and can also highly recommend (parents have now bought exactly the same). Operation is simple easy and the frothed milk is super a little tight if you have large cups but that's about it.
