But good at this "edgy" Senseo instead of (cheaper) classic Senseo machines. My lovely Senseo Latte Select had exactly 3 months after expiry of the warranty an electronic damage, pitch, 20-year-old coffee machines, there were probably only in the 80s ...
Tired of the typical Senseo banana shape I now wanted to a "correct" machine, edgy, black, professional-looking. Here, then, my personal assessment compared to (cheaper) Senseo Latte Select:
+ One can finally press simultaneously with the Anheizknopf the coffee choice, so no need to wait 10 seconds at the machine until it is ready for operation. Honest: This was missing until now.
+/- With the hose to go directly into the milk carton. Well, who's hygienic place ... Otherwise an additional glass needs to be cleaned.
- The Durchspülfunktion the milk nozzle gaukelt wrong cleanliness. It blows through the nozzle after every coffee and thinks you would ever cleaned enough and neglected intensive cleaning. Sorry Philips, which is simply human.
After a week I took the (complicated) milk part apart and I have become ill if the clumped milk chunks to different corners.
- The milk nozzle design consists of 6 or 7 parts with bracket, spring and what I know. Annoying assemble and complicated accommodate in the dishwasher. These are all square, edged and swallowed, hard to clean. I miss the "old" Latte Select Milk part of three simple parts ...
- When the milk part in the dishwasher is, you can make any coffee because the coffee spout is seated on it. Not so in the simple Select.
- The water tank is sitting totally shaky; logically, due to design the water is in a vertical column, while the pillar of the Select Machine pushes through the "banana shape" on the machine and is much more stable.
- The fact that the water tank tapers downwards straight and not as in the Select a wedge shape (principle: reserve tank in a car) is the minimum level much too high. What good is a huge water tank if you have to top up and the tank is 1/3 full?
Summary: I love Senseo coffee, but this machine here is a clear step backwards and one should not be misled by its elegant design but buy the good old bar-Select.
