As a long-year-old user of a conventional espresso cooker I was, especially with regard to energy consumption, from the idea of an electric version immediately impressed and bought a few weeks ago the Cloer coffee maker. Visually made the device a solid impression and the handling was really easy. Unfortunately, the familiar aroma presented not one, even after repeated use. The coffee tasted either bland or bitter, depending on the amount of coffee powder and looked more like a brewed coffee with a conventional coffee. In a direct (blind) compared with my old aluminum kettle the new machine cut always on to poor, so that they have now scrapped again. Too bad.
