The Evo (lutuion) is actually more advanced at Saeco.

I start with a difference: When you have sworn to a Saeco, espresso, cup of coffee (Lungo), cappuccino or latte (Macchiato) publishes a button, and then also with different types of beans !, ---
--- Then you will find herewith.
(A little 'but': There are in my opinion better / more convenient fully automatic - even from Philips Saeco far as I have an overview of the models, but unfortunately not where you switch between different types of beans, or even can change the container. . a Exprelia Evo in use since I have been almost a year, I dare to say hereby: This model MOLITIO a check is therefore rather an advance).
The claim, therefore, that you place on the machine could therefore be more decisive ....

I can think of a lot of negative points (first) a:
(-) The keys can not with certainty press (pressure point can be difficult to measure - especially when it comes to the memo function, I have quite a few problems ...).
(-) Water tank is extremely impractical attached, as a kind of drawer, which you have to pull out for filling (water level from the outside not visible).
(-) The drip tray is large, stable, but hooked when pulling ...
(-) MEMO function? Yes, if you could intuitively, that would be very fine. Either I am spoiled by other machines, or I put myself in too stupid. For me the memo function is a closed book ...

Positives:
(+) Coffee bean container is - relatively unproblematic - interchangeable, to be pressed a lever, and the container is high and can be removed - then use another container. (First of all, you have to buy another container of expense - around 20 euros.)
(+) Coffee bean container has a fairly good, but not completely Armoa-tight, closure. Is this also can be seen, unfortunately, something hakelig or sit up.
(+) Waste container for coffee grounds / coffee cake on the right side can be pulled out, so far is positive in that no water in the pulp container is also relatively dry and fall, the pressed cake from the brewing unit.
(+) Group head is removable (impractical We4ise on the back, but still).
(+) Under the brewing unit is a plastic part which ground coffee, which rushes past the brewing unit, fields. (Good idea Unfortunately, the handling of the brewing unit is thus a bit more work / hakelig;!. But takes some getting used only for the first few times)

To The Coffee:
Espresso: Very good for a fully automated system. Hot, compact crema, strong. Not sour.
Lungo / large coffee mug: Pretty good - but I tend to say that other machines take better because my taste. (There is a strange aftertaste, I do not like.)
Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato: You need a milk container (can also hose stuck in a tetra pack) and tube-foaming combination. By pressing a button then obtained a cappuccino or latte.
(My preferred method is definitely not because I these milk hoses find itself very unappetizing. There has to be removed each time after the application and (best cleaned with a foamed milk system cleaner). One can also let it be, but is fast notice that the lactobacilli then blithely rage in the tube and the tube, which has a taste not a positive effect on the digestive tract, but perhaps could have accelerating effect.

(Personal note: After the umpteenth fully automatic, I have found for me that a fully automatic machine that has a milk frothing system is initially quite well frequented, after a few weeks is one to clean but tired / tired It is of course a subjective matter and. hard that no experience theoretically to decide, but after all that I've tried, and because I with a little steamed milk very appreciate a cappuccino or a lungo, I'm stuck in the model Evo which a (milk) has carafe that you with a handle on the car lonely man at-infected This can be stored in the refrigerator, must of course be cleaned which is not little effort means (but only once a week), especially:. They have at hand and not have to with this funny hose or another container tampering.

Overall rating:
As a major strength, I would not want to highlight the milk foam combinations, but (press double coffee mug) rather good Espresso and Lungo - and you have the option to process with another bean container, for example decaffeinated and espresso beans. The brewing unit is removable, easy to clean and with little effort, as well as all other parts (back opening).
Processing of the machine is good, for my taste a little too much plastic. A little annoying only the stupid mounted water tank.

(When price / performance comparison I abstain specifically an opinion, because the price had since I received the device has reduced before in the context of 150 euros! I think it's already difficult to draw comparisons with other models.)
