Once found his place, I read the instructions carefully in order to use it. This is a very important step because many steps are namely to properly use and maintain. Overall, it is pretty clear except for some maintenance.
This machine is absolutely magnificent !!! The coffee is delicious. The cappuccino is perfect. Chocolate is sparkling. Every day the various preparations are worthy of those we can find in restaurants.
It is easy to use. A push of a button and you have a long coffee, short or cappuccino.
The digital display is well thought out, the pictograms are easily identifiable and indicate the different stages such as filling with water or emptying the coffee grounds drawer.
Options such as temperature range, robustness or grind it possible to have "perfect coffee". Everyone finds his happiness.
This machine is perfect for the family.
It is easily removable for removable parts such as milk jug, the drip tray, the water tank and the grounds container.
The only thing I can criticize is the weekly maintenance of the distribution group that is demanding enough in my opinion. Indeed, the manual is unclear on the subject. We are afraid to do wrong and damaging the coffee. In addition, the fat that is put on a monthly basis is difficult to implement. Finally, I think the cleaning products (descaling, lubricant and clean coffee tablets) will have a certain cost in the long run.
But this good coffee is a semi professional machine, so it requires more maintenance than an ordinary machine. If the quality we want to offer, you have to stick to this hygienic requirement and cost of maintenance products. The game is worth the candle!
For cons, I think I will compensate financially by buying coffee beans, cheaper than ground coffee machine which takes only the required amount. More loss of coffee!
This serves me coffee every day for both my marriage for my daughter. I am conquered by the quality of the different preparations. The old coffee was stored in the closet and "Saeco Intelia" was finally adopted!
A beautiful gift to offer if you are coffee lover ...
