These desires, the ECAM 23420 absolutely true:
- The mill is not working even not really quiet, compared with above named Saeco, a recent Saeco office as well as two different machines Jura in the family but noisy. In like manner, as you would expect in the milling of beans by a machine in the mid-price segment, in my opinion, perfectly fine.
- With 1.8 liters of fuel is something about the most common 1,5 - 1,7 liters, of sufficient size with regular coffee.
- The machine looks absolutely chic and fit thanks to manageable proportions and the complete operation from the front in every corner.
- In addition to the preset standard cup sizes (all of which are too small for me) can be its own called "My Coffee" continuously adjust and save up to 180ml. Perfect to set the machine exactly on his cups.
- If necessary, can brew two cups or sometimes produce a cappuccino in one go. The latter certainly not as comfortable as in others and especially more expensive machines, for sporadic use but suitable.
The most important thing: The taste. I have used the variety beans already in the old Saeco and could it also friends and colleagues inspire. So I have a direct comparison of the coffee beans of different machines with the same usage. Here the DeLonghi nose clearly after repeated use front. I was after the first 1-2 cups still disappointed (the manual is also noted that the machine runs only after 4-5 upholstery in top form), so I am now absolutely delighted. The coffee is very full-bodied with lots of crema and a very pleasant temperature. Too hot to runterzukippen him right, too cold than you would have to wait for his pleasure first 20 minutes. To my mind just perfect.
The operation is self-explanatory, it has clearly limited to the essential functions and dispensed endless menus and numerous extras. Very pleasant. Cleaning is also very easy, pollution manageable. All components are cleaned quickly and easily accessible and fast.
Negatives can not yet tell, except that neither 12 volts is operated, yet fits in's glove compartment. But you can not have everything.
Overall, a really nice, high quality and appropriate machine without a lot of frills.
