The machine I had bought for my older aunt who up long had a Krups with which it was satisfied. I had decided on the device because it is in accordance with optics easy to use. The clear structure of the Device and the location of the control buttons, this also confirmed. In practice, however, it turned out that at every 2nd - 3rd cup of coffee any contact problems arose mostly from the water tank or the Grounds container caused. There were triggered warning lights and stopped the brewing process. After about 3 weeks use (daily. 2-3 cups) blew the warning light permanently and was by no in the description for deleting proposed operation more. So no more coffee. Note also that the grinder developed an extremely unpleasant volume. Ultimately, there was nothing left but to return the machine again. I then ordered a De Longhi which so far works perfectly. Noticing very positive is the rescission by the Amazon carried out quickly and efficiently. Excellent.
