After successfully completing the settings:
- Setting the water (limestone or not ...)
- Grind setting correctly also (be 2-3 coffee to see the difference)
- And some other, optional, for the desired length of your espresso and / or cafes along to the tastes and sizes of cups ...
You can enjoy all the flavors of freshly ground coffee for your espresso.
For those who do not like coffee, opportunity to have hot water for tea, lather your cappuccinos, serving fabulous hot chocolates!
What happiness!
It must still stick to a particular maintenance (Service Kits sold on this site, degreasing pellets, scaling ...) but it is the "price" to pay to enjoy long this little gem!
Note: Regarding noise, I could compare, with 3 different models of "espresso machines" (Senseo, Nespresso, and that Saeco)
It is slightly noisier than Senseo BUT MUCH less than a Nespresso ...
