What's a coffee machine in addition to the taste still very important? The maintenance and cleaning. There are many coffee machines, where the brewing unit is not accessible and you so breeds mold cultures. Mir is important that I come at any time approach the brewing unit to clean, maintain and lubricate. This is the case here. Right you can open the cover and take out the brewing unit, which differs in no way from the more expensive machines from Saeco. It must be lubricated at the same places and you can clean every time and make sure that nothing starts to get moldy. The drip and pomace unit is nice and big and easy to remove and clean. One assumes it from the grid and then pulling the unit out front. Coffee is filled just like other Saeco machines right and water left. Unfortunately, the water unit is different from high end coffee machines of Seaco because the cover is missing and also the Warnschildchen that would fold out when removing the water tank, so you do not accidentally simply fills in water, without the container. When the coffee unit unfortunately also lacks the aroma seal which prevents the coffee beans evaporate and lose their flavor. In addition, the amount that can be charged is also quite small (perhaps because the aroma cap is missing). For this, the machine has, just like the more expensive models, a ceramic grinder that is not likely to wear out as fast as a stainless steel. Whether one is a classic frothing milk carafe or a preferred taste. For an extra charge, there is this machine with milk carafe instead frothing. These carafes do but experience has shown that once more anger and a separate milk frother is almost as meaningful, and yet to have to clean this carafe. Personally, I therefore prefer to die. The starter kit contains a brush for the care and the silicone cream to fat of the brewing unit. Descale the cleaning fluid for the first time and the tablets to degrease the brew unit has unfortunately saved. The machine is easy and intuitive to use more expensive models often have a diplay with complicated menu guidance, by the beginners and especially older people often are overwhelmed (because of the font size). This is very good solution, because just press only button does not have to look at where the touch elements, which is more user-friendly than some of the more expensive items. The machine is nicely slim and fits in smaller kitchens. In addition, it is very light and can therefore easily be crazy, so you can clean under it. The machine was produced, at least in the EU (Romania).
Conclusion: Except for the missing Warnschildchen the water tank and the two missing covers for water tanks and Coffee memory I have nothing to complain about as far. For deduct a whole point would be too much. But 4.5 star not go. So I rounded up.
