Ordinary coffee - the optics have to like

The first impression when unpacking is still significantly influenced by the color of the machine: The metallic turquoise green of the front section is a little getting used to. It is much darker and more intense than shown on the supply side. Here, the design conveys a certain retro touch. Contributing to this are held in chrome controls, the display and the indicator lights.
The coffee itself is square shaped and thus, compared to conventional devices, pleasantly different. The glass jug falls with its rather cylindrical, slightly conical shape something out of the usual context.

Until the turquoise front panel, the machine consists of a black, matt plastic. An easy to read level indicator located on the side. The filter can be removed from above the container and has a folding handle. The latter is a truly beautiful and practical idea. As has' someone thought along.
But then the filler opening for the water is quite narrow and hidden, but what is likely to lead to problems or unwanted formation of puddles in the morning Tran.

The machine bears the CE and GS mark. Unfortunately, a reference to the place of manufacture is missing, what experience has shown that rather points to a production outside Germany and the EU. Here a little more transparency would be desirable from the manufacturer.

The use and commissioning of the machine is very simple: fill water filters and coffee to off you go. This is intuitive, but it is also a comprehensive manual at.

The produced coffee is hot and tastes good. The hotplate has a shut-off to prevent overheating. This is good, but just like the existing "drip-stop" now commonplace. The glass jug is thankfully almost spills freely.

There is a timer function. About the meaning of which can be disputed splendidly. ME performs the evening preparing only to a loss of aroma of the coffee. But that should each decide for themselves.

Conclusion: Overall, a decent filter coffee machine that makes what they want without putting new standards .. The design pleases me personally not, but that's a matter of taste.
