After a short search in test reports and the helpful reviews my previous reviewers so this machine was ordered by Melitta.
At 22:07. ordered and at 24.07 the Machine was already there. That was great service from Amazon.
The machine is well packed with the glass container is additionally protected with cardboard and foil.
The machine is ready for use where you should perform two complete Brühvorgänge Before dispensing coffee. But is also in the instructions.
To fill the water tank you can of course take the glass carafe. There is also a Füllskalierung at the pot. This is practically useless as these in the black grip protection (scald the finger) is stamped in black. Suuuuper idea of the designer of the jug. Why not just white or on the glass jug itself does not open up to me. Who makes the machine but fully takes the pot only to briefly fill under the metal ring and fits well. Otherwise only readable under very good lighting conditions and with Lupe ;-).
If you now have filled the water, simply open the schwenbaren filter canister to the right (left is a cavity between the water tank and filter container), filter clean (fits perfectly), close container and turn.
The switch is red and clearly visible in terms of size even if he is more attached behind. When you turn it shines beautiful bright red and signaled optically clear that the machine is turned on.
The machine is wirlich very fast and only took about 8 minutes until the jug was full. The aroma switch was there turned completely to the left ('coffee strength).
The coffee is hot and tastes good (also my friend ;-)). But is also dependent on the type of coffee and quality. Good coffee costs a little more. Because it is a glass jug should decant the coffee in a thermos if you do not all the time the machine would harm (power consumption).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the pot is completely full please do not pour equal schwunghaft may otherwise spill over shortly. Otherwise, drips nothing and it's all close (at Tefal - it also works without flooding every time), so it must be for the spout of the jug at the well-chosen form. Very good design and saves unnecessary cleaning the tablecloth ;-). Other spills times ignored.
Cleaning / descaling:
not durchgefürt - report follows !!!
According to the manual, you can enter into the dishwasher the glass container and the canister easily. The glass jug is not suitable for the microwave oven, if anyone was going to the heat the cooled coffee. But is also in the instructions.
Conclusion:
Anyway, we are fully satisfied with the machine and would bring these at any time. For the price (24.90) was absolutely top.
