The first surprise came When unpacking: The Krups EA8105 fully automatic machine was already tested with coffee with me at. On a small red leaflet I was also noted. That the machine was then thoroughly cleaned, you could see him, but not necessarily, since it outside and in coffee grounds container still had some coffee. So once wipe and clean compartment. Then it should go but. So Filling coffee beans and fill the water tank. Press Start and: grind instead of coffee beans and coffee cooking machine of first cleaning procedure by which even demanded patience coffee thirsty. And also some nerves of steel, because you only once has the impression that the same runs over everything and the kitchen is under water. But at some point is over the cleaning and the machine can pursue its actual purpose. He does well, but with a noise that I apologized in a spirit immediately with my neighbors. Well, somehow the coffee beans must be crushed so. So: no more making coffee after 22 clock and clock Ago 7. Even the frothing milk is not just silently vonstatten and also takes time. It should also be observed to note that the cup should be filled maximum one third of milk, so they will not overflow during foaming and causes additional cleaning effort.
Overall, I must forgive three individual scores for Krups EA8105 Espresso coffee machines:
Five stars for the great taste of freshly ground beans and brewed coffee in no time, for the great design and the good workmanship, the durability of the device promises.
Four stars for the somewhat complicated handling, hard-to-understand instructions and images-bewildering variety of flashing lights. (!) I have never felt more stressed than me at the moment when all the lights were flashing at the same time;)
Three stars for a really impressive volume that evening annoys the neighbors and in the morning the gentle, quiet start interrupts in the day for a moment.
Overall, the device thus earned four stars and a place of honor in the kitchen.
