When unpacking first time a small disappointment. Cover, which was the predecessor of metal, unfortunately, cheap plastic and not necessarily processed stable. Likewise, the frother. When inserting the batteries in the handle, this is divided equally into 2 parts, could be but then squeeze well and keeps well since then.
Positive, the opening of the mocha pot is larger and thus easier to clean, the edges are not as sharp as its predecessor.
The hotplate of foamer is really just an appendage, so that it can be stowed away separately, but if you want to drink only espresso. However, here is the port that is attached to the base station of the mocha pot, something to use with caution. The plastic parts are all unsatisfactory.
On the hotplate of the foamer can be equally small pots (there are also order extra) use to heat smaller portions. To boil water or soup heats the pot of foamer has a capacity of 1l.
Very positive: the cover is really tight with a capacity of 250ml, more I have not yet tested.
After I started some tests, I received quite quickly a super sparkling result with 1.5% lactic. The temperature indication of 2 is sufficient for a quantity of milk of 200 ml, with more you have to raise the temperature but, contrary to the instructions.
Cleaning can be all parts very well.
Except for the deficit with the plastic parts I can really recommend this set.
