However, we start only once at the first impressions of the device. The coffee machine is heavy, visually appealing and stable. In the grinding process, or use is no annoying rattling or the like to be heard and any component from the unit is easy to remove and clean.
Because the coffee machine cleans with a flushing process even at each start-up and shutdown, is one here will save a lot of work. Only the water supply must be relatively frequently refilled. The beans stock holds compared with significantly longer.
The ground coffee quantity and the grind can be side of the unit easy to adjust via sliders. That the grinder may only be adjusted when it is running is a bit cumbersome. So I have to either remove the beans and give a placebo beverage in order, or a cup of coffee received surplus before I can test the new grinding adjustment in its entirety.
The device is connected quickly and easily (thanks to the enclosed Quick Reference Guide). The complete manual is included on CD and very helpful for other settings and the understanding of coffee variations. The buttons are a bit strange. In the age of ever more sensitive displays and buttons, the buttons of the fully automatic machines have a slightly stale. Ask formally by a that you press quite strongly, to function. For the first time off I needed three attempts until the device has to press and hold the Power switch fallen.
All in all a reasonable coffee machine with a nice look and feel. Who is satisfied with a functional device and no elaborate display with time programming (keyword: wake you up with coffee) or an internally installed milk supply needed can not go far wrong here.
What should not go unmentioned is that it is advisable a second person when you unpack this to have the support a. While it has been shown located on the carton pictograms that we should lift the machine at a large flap of the packaging, this was missing however completely. The polystyrene alone held off the tug was not, so I had peeled the coffee machine from the package only after some of force / time / polystyrene confetti amount.
