Good design, good optically processed, aromatic coffee, but ...

Krups heard as a brand name for the French Groupe SEB. Many devices are associated with the name Krups as UHU glue. The mixer 3Mix and Teatime still used by me will always remain in my memory. Produced will be in China.

This Krups coffee machine is factory-packaged very well. Everything is additionally thoroughly wrapped up and secured with Styrofoam strips. So the machine came despite angedelltem Amazon cardboard to no damage, everything worked.

The device shows up clean after unpacking, had just wiped off and the glass jug and the filter cartridge be washed.

In the picture, the machine seemed very appealing, at home you look at clean processed black plastic.

The machine has unfortunately only behind 2 small rubber feet. Front it stands on 2 lobes of the plastic housing. Here later seen mangende slip resistance when a switch is operated (see below Use).

The power cord can fortunately be hiding in a cable compartment and thus adapt to the required length.

INSTRUCTIONS
is well understood. Unfortunately, it is sometimes written again for the entire model range and as often emerges the addition depending on the model. What suits this model you need to find out for yourself.

COMMISSIONING:
Before the first coffee it should be once flushed with water.

The machine has no odor, after the first use it smells in the room but rather chemically. After several cleaning cycles is this smell that is released with the steam, though less beautiful, it is not really.

Furthermore, cooking show bubbles at the bottom of the pot, which indicates too high a hot stop temperature. Reason is the hotplate is short with 1115W! heated, then switched off again.
Tip: Set the aroma selector to 1-3 cups, then it is only 815W and there are no cooking bubbles.

THE GERAUCH:
The use of a coffee machine should be in my opinion self-explanatory, intuitive.

Anyone who uses for the first time in the company's new machine, having to explain, or to have read the manual costs useless time.
With this machine, now you might feel let off to the office and use, because it has only 2 switch.

Quite so simple it was now not. The aroma selector switch is a true switch and all the proper use immediately.

Unlike the A switch. This is only one of a button, press right, right down from. what can be seen but not immediately. So you have to get used only to this switch.
Krups has not yet become accustomed to, because in the instructions under What to do in case of a defect? Check if the On / Off switch to I see. Only he does not I position. The Amazon image incidentally does not match the current machine. In my switches are black, only the left has a LED and no label.

On my machine, the On / Off button also hooked and jumping after a short delay back into its initial position. Rework is required, and so I can then look at how the machine is processed internally.

You have to press the ON / OFF button fairly firmly right slip the machine, since only small rear rubber feet are available.
,
Fill can be easily and safely, the pot does not drip and the opening is large enough. The filling is easily visible, but differs somewhat between pot and container from.

As filters are common paper filter no. 4, a permanent filter can buy more to this, however, I do not advise.

Leaks I could not tell.

,
THE COFFEE TASTE:
Taste the machine very good aromatic coffee produced (no comparison with cheap machine).

But he should not be on the hotplate for long.
,
,
THE STAND-BY CONSUMPTION:
Since this machine has a button as a switch, one could assume that there is a standby power consumption.

This is fortunately not the case. Off there are 0,0W.
,
,
CONCLUSION:
You will receive an appropriate, well-made coffee, which, if it has been recognized as the On button is easy to use.

Disturbing the smell is the machine gives off initially.

The noise level is comparable to other machines of this type, not too loud.

The machine is easy to clean, equipped with everything you need and very important, it produces a very good tasting coffee.

Should make improvements Krups following:
!! The smell, the water heater generates must be eliminated.
Four non-slip rubber feet wide should be available.
The holding temperature is too high in the short term at certain points 4 max.
If the hooking on / off button for me an exceptional case?

++ Very good coffee aroma
++ Visually well crafted
+ Simple equipment / easy operation
++ Easy cleaning
++ Cable compartment
++ Factory packaged very well
++ Well filled, good filter opening
