I can only agree with most of the previous speakers eulogies. The coffee tastes great with plenty of crema (buy a cheap coffee, the result is at least moderate taste), the milk foam succeed right away and cleaning is quickly and easily to handle (max. 5 minutes). Toll also the automatic descaling program (set correct water hardness, otherwise you have to unnecessarily often descaling). The instructions are detailed and easily understandable. All commercially available pads fit easily, choosing the "right" is certainly a matter of taste and above can not be known to argue. I, the machine can only recommend especially since the price is in a very good relation to the transaction (what is in many very expensive fully automatic machines with huge dimensions can not say), and the machine is produced in Germany, which indeed nowadays but unfortunately only rarely occurs with Sichheit means a significant advantage in Service.
