Positives: ---------- 3 Hot water temperature: We tried it with Macchiato (otherwise identical produced) - the difference is small, but noticeable (hot = more, cold = mild). Foam: is really good - probably because before the water temperature is raised. Hot water: there also (from the nozzle) for tea, or a "diluted" coffee. Volume: in comparison with the previous very low. Easily adjustable amount of water (for 1 or 2 cups). Power Save: On request, the machine switches off after 9 minutes by itself. Filter in filter holder: is clamped - does not fall out while cleaning, which I find very convenient. Processing of Pristine.
Negatives: ----------- Tamper: Yes, which is made of very thin plastic, was glad that I had another. Steadfastness: the DeLonghi is comparatively easy - you have to firmly hold the screen changes. Cooling: after foaming the water must cool down again for the next espresso. The problem can be avoided by the foam * behind * produced consistently, or discharges through the steam nozzle pressure.
Conclusion: --------- Each Espresso / Macchiato / coffee tastes so good and with its own coffee grinder beside this machine is a blast!
