Bonita Pearl Star

In order to facilitate the other choices, even a report of me to do so.
I had decided on the new 2013er Bonita.
The delivery was within 1 day with me. Shipping and packaging Top.

Unpacked and ran to work.
The appearance looks very valuable. Can compete with other loosely that the double or triple the cost.
Water and beans filled and off you go.
Strength and amount of water can be selected when cooking. Likewise, the cooking temperature for the hot-drinkers.
Schön would be a menu button for it to determine beforehand. But go quite useful without also.
Note that you can completely turn the Bonita after each shutdown and renewed, once chasing water through the nozzles.
So only keep another vessel underneath, otherwise it tastes watery.
Water hardness test is attending. So you can set the correct water level.
Menu in various languages, including German. Self-explanatory and without any problems.
In the state it is by tapping the screen as immediately and the cups are nicely preheated above.
Milk foam is nice frothy and wait without long it is made.
After the test of cleaning.
Light expansion and easy access to all parts. Minute thing and not complicated.

Negatives: The function of ground coffee is to produce a coffee not so great.
Relatively small opening for touching it for max. a! Coffee measure. So you have lots of powder to the machine, just not in the opening.
And coffee with a measure, I can brew a cup of Espresso.
So you should still pick coffee beans or provide the Espresso on the strength down to sensible drinking coffee.
There is also a 'double' cup function. Here at Espresso is made a double.
Over coffee but you have to repeatedly change and adapt the used in accordance with the coffee cup.
An additional programming would have been nice.

All in all, I am very satisfied with the machine.
The price / performance ratio you can easily keep with the "expensive".
Taste and preparation simple. (Depends of course, from the beans from)

I would buy again despite the few negative points.
Espresso, latte, cappuccino or even hot water for tea is quick and opposite capsule machines
in the long run the cost-effective alternative.
