Good coffee machine for little money

The coffee machine is in use every day (usually in the mornings :-)
The coffee tastes good and has a good crema (always comes it will be at which beans used).
The machine is very simple in principle and actually restricted to the bare minimum but it did not bother me because I drink my coffee black and my girlfriend cappuccino or tea drinking.

Many wrote that when frothing milk, the milk tastes pretty watered down or the milk is not fixed, I can only disagree Dennen.
The steam lance can initially always some water out when to use these, this course should not end up in the milk. If you previously out the water can into the drip tray and then to foam the milk tastes this wonderful. For consistency of frothed milk I have to say that this first requires some practice to be the hang out has, and for all who think the milk must be fixed properly, which should be slightly expanding foam tip into it.
The milk is creamy but not firmly what is also so accurate in my eye, you can also spoons but also drinking.

The appearance of fully automatic leaves something to be desired, plastic far as the eye.
During follow-up model has been refinished with stainless steel, but at this price that's verkkraftbar, prefer for this reason 0.5 stars from.

So far I have the machine (decalcify brewing unit, etc.) 1x completely cleaned, it has is actually quite simple if you have previously read in the instructions.

I pull off another 0.5 star because the machine is quite noisy.
But that is not the coffee mill which is really quite quietly by my standards, but the water reference.
If the machine pulls water you can hear the compressor pump extremely loud, which is a bit disturbing for me.

All together you get here much coffee for little money, but would rather the ESAM 3000 but recommend only because of the optics.
