The Coffee Machine in itself is not too big and fits determined in every kitchen. In our he has certainly found immediately a suitable spot. The operation of the machine is very easy and quickly grasped. If ever anything is unclear, enough to look into the very extensive manual.
You can choose, for example, by pressing a button between filter coffee and fresh beans. Also adjusted are options such as cup size or coffee temperature.
If you want to prepare a latte macchiato and to require milk, you just take the flap at the front of the machine from (which is magnetic, however, and are easily installed also on the side of the machine and thus can not be lost) and puts the milk froth attachment a. This beep briefly so you can tell that the device has detected him. After only one connecting the hose between the top with the milk container and away you go. Really an excellent idea.
The tea and cocoa drinkers also are not forgotten. Milk or tea water are heated with the machine quickly.
Beautiful is also that this set a descaler, test strips are the same included for water hardness, water filter and a container for Milcheinfüllen. Although the latter is not a must, but nice to have as always be an open carton of milk next to the machine.
The grinder turned out to be not half as loud as feared. Only the frothing milk proved to be a bit louder. What I like but away look, as the froth is really top class.
However, less managed the heating plate, the non warms a thicker cup or a thicker glass enough. This issue I already knew of cheaper machines and makes it previously fixed at the lower purchase price. But what does not, unfortunately, seems to be the case well.
For normal cleaning: After using the milk adapter can be this easily disassemble and clean. Make this one should regularly (or better: every day), otherwise unsightly debris and bacteria are spreading inside the adapter. The rest of the machine, such as the drip tray, the collecting container of the coffee and the grinder can be easily taken out and can be cleaned in no time.
My conclusion: Great machine, through which one gets coffee you could not get better in Italy.
