I bought years ago one of the first models, and for years was 100% impressed. Through a move I had this machine for nearly a year now and store that she has unfortunately not survived. The float in the water filter was stuck. (Lime?) I tried unsuccessfully to buy a new water tank. But Phillips has the new models well aware designed so that you can buy more, neither container nor filter holder. I find disappointing but that's another topic. Property me now bought this model. She's still a great machine and the coffee I am very satisfied - as always. BUT - the execution of construction can be compared to the first machine really something to be desired. The grid on which the cup stands is a real rattling thing. It looks cheap and does not fit properly. Man has ever feel like having a plastic Bomber in hand compared with the first machine. Therefore there with me only 3 stars. Who an inexpensive coffee examines the individual portions (or, if desired 2 simultaneously) can do here is well advised. Still a good machine - but she was really ever better and I find that really amazing. In silver, I find it most elegantly rather than the "plastic-plus color-things" - but that's just a matter of taste and has nothing to do with the quality.
