I had before buying already a Senseo machine the second generation. The first generation is indeed offered very favorable, but the adjustable spout was important to me because I often befülle coffee cup and that is not possible with the older models!
The Senseo Viva Cafe has some extras that explain the higher price to the first generation, and also justified. In addition to the coffee pad holders for one or two cups, is yet another for espresso pads or intense coffee enjoyment. This increases the pressure and brews the coffee on yet tastier. Furthermore, Philips sets a separate package with descaler. Furthermore, I was still 4 Senseo brackets made of plastic, which can be used together to print the coffee pad bags. So escapes less flavor from the pack when it was already open.
To clean the machine, the hardware can also be added in the dishwasher, which makes the pad holder again beautifully clean and coffee permeable.
In addition to these all aspects of freshly brewed coffee with this machine is very tasty.
What I just can not understand that the machine when Saturn for 10 dollars is to have less.
