I have the machine now four weeks use. Used to, but not cumbersome, was the panel. Otherwise, I can not complain much in use. Simple and straightforward, without limitation. I've already some coffee machines (even career paths) must be used and never had a pot among them who do not drip. This here is pouring possible without great Kleckerkram! The final product is quite enjoyable! ; O) However, an asterisk deduction there: This machine is not only to look beautiful in the kitchen (looks better than in the photo) - it can also be heard !! So only use the timer function, who wants to be woken up with fresh coffee and has a good nights sleep! Would she buy me again.
