Commissioning is with (or even without ;-) manual no problem, and it's fun drinkers profiles ;-) to create and customize the available drinks. More milk froth, less coffee, stronger flavor, coffee places etc.
The first experiences after 4 weeks directly with rating (++ / + / - / -):
++ The machine has a modern user interface
++ The separate bean containers are einziogartig in the price range and after that I've been looking for since I both
good coffee and espresso drink. When Caffeo Barista TSP also works with only a grinder, as this audible idling after each beverage with respect and disappear all beans of a certain type from the grinder.
++ The Caffeo Barista TSP has so ziehmlich all coffee drinks on board, which can be individually adjusted
++ The crema is very beautiful and distinctive
+ First, I found the milk container solution with hose not as mature. However, it works, and the advantage is that everything that has to do with the Milchztubereitung, is accessible and easy to clean from the outside. That's a plus. When the DeLonghi Milchweg was inaccessible in the lid of the milk jug. That was a bit nasty and I have this after a few years exchanged times.
+ The variable height of the spout is for higher glasses (eg for a bar) is sufficient.
+ The machine is of a size quite compact. The water tank is only accessible from the side though but by Henkel works well then if the machine with a few cm. Distance a kitchen wall cabinet depends.
- For the price more steel should decorate the body. The piano lacquer surface is also logically very dirt / scratch prone.
- The noise of fully automatic machines in coffee making (with the exception of the grinder) sound not just for longevity. This Befürchtig but possibly unfounded and can only be assessed after 3-4 years.
- The screw of the stainless steel milk container is something hakelig
- The temperature at the highest setting stage is not really very hot and should be higher.
- The coffee grounds is not a relatively dry / solid Tab brökelt but quite damp in the waste container. I suspect, therefore, that the pressure is not high enough.
- The milk foam is neither tight nor warm enough. Therefore configured as coffee with milk for us the cappuccino button. Then, the fit at least on the consistency. For cappuccino, we use an external milk frother Nespresso next to the machine. This is an uplifting royal shortcoming for the price range.
- The machine asks after each beverage with milk reference an Easy Cleaning procedure that you have to start and then automatically runs but. Basically, it's a good thing that the machine pay attention to hygiene. Especially fully automatic can reach nauseating states since after a short time. The problem with the Caffeo Barista TSP is that it reminds acoustically after 10 minutes with a beep to the cleaning. If one does not respond, the beep will sound every 30 seconds !!! This is very annoying when you can not sit together times 30 minutes in the kitchen, without this annoying beep. Purge's perfectly okay but if I want to draw 2-3 dairy drinks in half an hour, then I will not have to constantly clean. After consultation with the Melitta Customer the beep can not be turned off !! Since the developer has very technically designed and developed at the practice over. If I did not forfeit the guarantee, then I would get the speaker of the machine.
- With the above point is because the drip but is very flat through the entire device. That is, they can quickly run to the many flushes and you have to be careful from the coffee machine in order not to cause a mess inside.
- The filter cartridges and maintenance products are, as with almost all manufacturers, grossly overpriced.
