We really have a lot of experience in the field of coffee machines. Also portafilter more than 1000, - come with us to use. So we have really not much promised by the small BEEM, thought which is already sufficient for the holiday in the apartment. The more surprised we were that this little Siebträgermaschine prepared excellent coffee. In particular, the machine is ready for operation in a few seconds, surprisingly quiet and conjures super hot coffee into the cup. The taste of coffee is almost indistinguishable from that of the far more expensive machines. For this, the machine is also only a quarter as large and during our big Siebträgermachine heats for 10 minutes, I have been drinking 3 delicious coffee here. The preparation of milkshakes also is simple, but requires of course a corresponding cleaning effort. Since we really only black drink our coffee / espresso, it does not bother us, we have only tried a few times and the result was visually and gechmacklich outstanding. I can not imagine that there is verglichbare devices in this price range, prepare the so excellent coffee, especially since I know exactly that, for more than 500 me - gets offered much technology trash that might look good, but for a long time no coffee can prepare. So I recommend this machine continue to 100%.
