In terms of coffee quality and taste can be the Minuto do nothing of the more expensive machines before. Their main advantage lies in the sense attached control panel. This is angled and is so clearly in sight of the operator, while the comparison devices (Saeco HD8869 / 11 Saeco HD9712 Moltio Premium and / 01 Incanto Executive) have vertically mounted panels.
Very good, I like the small solution for frothing milk. An extra nozzle that is placed on the hot water issue, the milk runs through a hose directly from the milk carton. The milk foam is great, but the care of the milk carafe is omitted. Likewise, no milk goes directly to the coffee machine and only the small nozzle is cleaned quickly.
Otherwise, the maintenance effort as the other is fully automatic (daily, weekly, monthly).
My favorite drink is not found although the beverage buttons, can therefore also not set quantitative terms, but there are also not so very many steps to go. First milk foam, then coffee. Works quite well for me.
The dimensions of the Minuto are very friendly kitchen. It should be noted, however, the replenishment of water and beans from above.
