My impressions / experience after intensive use in short sentences: [+] Falls immediately after unpacking the appealing (red metallic) design on something else ... [+] Good workmanship (nothing wobbles, and the IR cut filter [filter bags size: 4] appears stable) [+] Very good stability [+] Sufficient capacity: 1.25 liters // corresponds to 10-15 cups [+] Filling of the water tank is easily // the water level is easy to read [+] The throughput of the coffee takes place - compared to similar coffee makers - in a very short time [+] The Brühergebnis: very tasty with pleasant high temperature [+] Good warm function // automatic shutdown after about 30 minutes [+] Properly functioning "drip-stop" ... if you can not wait :-) [+] Of the on / off button is illuminated (actually standard - but not, unfortunately, still a matter of course [-] After unpacking a bit unpleasant, chemical smell, but the will evaporate quickly = no reason for devaluation My conclusion: This Moulinex coffee really surprised me - despite intensive use so far I could not detect any weaknesses. In addition, I believe the design ... and the price / performance ratio deserves the grade "Very Good". Hence from me convincing 5 stars = I like very much! [Reinhard Busse]
