The individual functions are really self-explanatory. For example, it is very easy and intuitive (adjustable brightness) adjusted via the menu button and the easy to read display, bean type, water temperature, among others. What attitude to which bean with which amount of water, you simply have to try.
The grinder is surprisingly quiet for a mid-range machine. The grind can be adjusted without problems.
Water tank, bean hopper and drip tray are also due to high accuracy and good workmanship of the parts easy removable and easy to clean. Whether the relatively small cleaning interval specified must be scrupulously adhered to exactly, I leave time to be seen (brewing unit every 7 days). After turning off the coffee unit is flushed definitely. The tube, which is used for frothing milk is simple instead of milk with water durchspülbar. An automatic descaling is also on board.
The water tank is 1.9 l capacity really big enough. Incidentally, you can just let hot water run through without a coffee. So a kettle is almost superfluous. The bean container which can hold 290 grams of beans would scarce, may be somewhat larger. Is for me now but not a big negative criticism. For those who drink but always only one type of coffee, it should be mentioned. Because you just have to fill up more often.
Small cups, large cups? No problem at all, because the outlet in height is easily adjustable.
In addition, the machine is compact and beautiful place well in smaller kitchens place.
Conclusion: The machine is preparing with a little practice, really decent cup of coffee, cappuccino and espresso. Operation and cleaning are simple and the workmanship is very neat! I'm very satisfied.
