In the price range up to 400 I came to a process of elimination and several tests for Saeco HD8762 / 01.
The Series HD876X offers several similar devices with small but decisive differences.
z. B. HD8760 HD8761 HD8762 HD8763 and more.
Since I like Macciato cappuccino, latte and the like drink remained for me only the 8762 and 8763 left.
A salesperson confirmed to me that there is only one difference. The 8762 has a Cappuccinatore the milk is sucked with a hose from an external container. The 8763 has a milk container from the right, the milk is processed.
But this is more suitable from day 5 latte drinks upwards.
Otherwise, it's more advisable to choose the more favorable 8762.
The milk foam is identical for both machines.
The machine belongs in my opinion the most beautiful fully automatic. The design is awesome.
The operation of the keys is that in a negative light in the other reviews makes me happy.
Water and coffee bean container must be open both to the machine upside and easy to refill.
The grinder can be adjusted to 5 levels.
The brewing unit can be found behind a cover on the right side and easy to clean.
Another plus was the height-adjustable coffee spout up to 15cm height!
Since my latte glasses fit under it. That was the case with the fewest machines!
The display and the menu navigation is simple, functional and self-explanatory.
Cleaning is beginning consuming for the inexperienced. With some practice, but that's easier.
The pomace is weitgehenst dry and tight enough that no unnecessary pollution or a watery soup created in the collection container.
The engine is quiet, unlike other devices.
The coffee tastes just great with the right beans and the milk froth succeeds best !!!
The only downside I can think only a moment that the Cappuccinatore is something easy to twist.
So far made any bad experiences with the device. And for the price I've found for my needs no better and no equivalent device.
Would buy again immediately and definitely recommend further.
