It is quite cumbersome in my small kitchen but I managed to find a place. it changes my little nes o .... !!!
I did that yesterday, but I could easily get a coffee first, then a second and a third and a 20th ....
It takes some time to find his ideal coffee (in addition to finding the perfect grain to be, which is not yet the case).
You have to play on the amount of coffee (from 1 to 3 on the control panel) and the fineness of the grind (setting inside the grain bin). I also set the hardness of the water through the small test strip supplied with the machine, you never know sometimes that change qqchose (instructions of the tongue and the adjustment made available in the PDF leaflet online, not on the paper provided). I use filtered water carafe, so I have a free water limestone, called soft.
at startup, the machine performs a priming, which consumes a little water, then rinse that also consumes a little water (just like in standby). Expect to empty the holding tank below the machine quite often.
CAUTION at startup, priming is also carried in the steam nozzle, causing projections. Do not forget to put a container underneath.
The online PDF manual is more complete than the one provided.
No brush, descaling solution, degreasing pellet, or replacement seals in carton, a bit mean of the star and less, because the machine requires regular and costly maintenance.
1 one star less because in the end, the coffee is delicious. Easy to make and cappuccino really good! The steam nozzle and powerful enough (I brought the milk in no time), hot water is readily available and very very hot. The opening in front of the tanks is very cleaning of all is no problem. Moreover it is not louder than my old Nesp o ... Citiz.
In the end, the coffee is great (much better than George)! delicious cappuccino and easy to do!
last detail: the first coffees are watery, translucent look. it took me 3 or 4 coffees out the first correct.
marc raw patties are moles and do not fall directly into the waste container. For the following coffees, cakes are almost dry and compact and fall directly into the tray. So there was a little time to run to predict, do not panic. a strong espresso (VIN 3 grains) used 10-11g of coffee. which returns the cafe at about 20 cents, slightly more if you count the wasted water and produce binding talks
