An important criterion was in addition to taste and temperature and the amount of coffee for us. 1.5 liters should be there already. The latter outdoes the machine even. With nearly 1.7 liters, it produces 6 large hot Kaffeepötte and good tasting coffee without causing overflows of the filters, as two predecessors from other manufacturers. The machine does not smell of plastic and also looks good. Filling the Wasssers is how often described, because of the narrow opening somewhat cumbersome. We therefore fill the machine does not have the small opening of the water tank, but by opening the large cover quasi from the inside. This measure should cover any event open to the filling of the coffee powder. Unfortunately, there is on this cover longer time hanging the condensation. You will open after a few hours to cover something peppy, this water runs backwards mostly beyond the machine. Therefore, a star less. Otherwise, we would buy the machine at any time.
