Now to the prima donna:
After we had now brought the Siemens back and had exchanged after long searches against the Delonghi was this first home built with some skepticism and taken according to instructions in operation.
The machine makes already visually and by processing a much better impression the housing is 90% less steel, it is super easy to clean which is equipped with No fingerprint so no fear of fingerprints.
She joins really nice in the traditional Italian. Coffee culture and adorns every kitchen.
To be advantageous I personally feel the integrated milk container, this affects tidier and saves space.
When drinks are available espresso, coffee, long coffee, coffee for filter type (Long), Latte, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato
One should in any case be sure which one contains the version EX2 gets as these 2 heating circuits.
So now back up flushed first 2 coffee ready in the sink.
Operation:
The machine can be very intuitive to operate via the large touch panel, it can be in all the beverages amounts and strengths and change with all pure coffee beverages the temperature and also save the floor can be opened, so the large bar glasses fit underneath. The highlight of the machine it can be completely operated from the front, including water tank, pulp container, brewing etc. up to the beans that come up clean.
Beverage Quality:
Honestly - a dream. The coffee tastes terrific I take him on a mild stage of it is already there so aromatic and not bitter like at Siemens. From lattes and cappuccino to mention. The milk foam is bombastic. We pulled in the first 5 days nearly 100 all kinds of drinks and I have 1 KG -D increased the whole apartment smells permanently after coffee and even get hungry for cake :-)
TIP:. In the preparation of the foam / milk the controller in the first 2-3 sec 1-2 back and forth then vary between 1 and 2 can be and it is a dream of foam. Also it respect the milk container together with the nozzle maintained I will make him always the evening clean under hot water though it can in the dishwasher but is not good for the rubber rings.
And most important All drinks are warm to really hot, so that you can enjoy them also.
CARE:
As I said everything can be done from the front coffee receptacle, brew group, water tank, etc. The brewing unit can be removed. Unlike some other reviews I have almost zero coffee inside that very best is but little to no water in the drip tray is provided at A is maintained - and off a glass or bowl under the nozzle even when the milk nozzle cleaning. If you have noticed this running around and you hardly trouble with the machine.
Note:
All these experiences are from my point of view angle. Degrees in fully automatic This is a very subjective matter. Some like it so the other way, because often help Stiftung Warentest or reviews not my good advice - try from the store machine and see if it's right.
Mir is it so at heart because I have just read about these machines also some of the reviews I can not understand and my opinion on incorrect operation and to not know what you're getting with such a machine is due, for example, in a review drink quality is not a latte or cappuccino as the other, get Hallooooo times when Italians always 100% the same ??? With this machine, this is the way, but even at 98 & possible but you have to try a bit and be curious. Coffee making also has a little something to do with crafts, a machine can now not everything.
It should be a conscious that such a machine needs more care and attention than a Senseo or filter machine and this counts for all the machines, you have gone astray with which one can live ;-) for me it was the prima donna avant since the effort and care remains limited (eg drip tray), for me this is important because I do not want me 2-3 hours. To take care of the day to a vending machine.
Finally, the manual reading brings an immense amount ;-) there are already a lot of tips and solutions described. Questions I try to be happy to answer.
We have now drawn 150 drinks and have been 0 complaints will but unless problems immediately inform.
