Negatives:
- The form of the water reservoir (a sliding when filled easily from the hand, connected the water tank cover is not fixed with container, flying fast out times when one removes the water tank.
- Marking on the instrument blurred after half a year, now completely gone (blind operation)
- Steam nozzle has to be removed for cleaning, has an unusual shape, is too short for Creamer and not swivel
(Milk foam is the same produce in the cup, but then you have no temperature controls just like the stainless steel container that does not fit under it.)
- Steam valve closes after six months not completely -> nozzle drips
- Filter holder Aluminium -> not in the dishwasher!
- Duschsieb can unscrew and clean though, but but you need a very short Phillips screwdriver or wrench special.
- Plastic Tamper unfit to exercise proper pressure, despite fear not canceled, difficult to clean, as not removable.
- Getampert Too fine grinding degree, too much powder or too tight, the pump pressure is not enough!
- Pump makes squeaky noises when reference?
- Difficult to find exactly the freeness, in which the pump is still creating, otherwise the espresso flows too quickly.
reference time per Espresso recommended 20 sec. for the most part well below.
Positives:
- Good espresso, with freshly ground beans (best from the nearest roasting) and proper freeness
- However, good crema, if you tampert properly the powder before, (is not "real" Crema, which is caused by the release of the oils in the coffee, but only by crema sieve You can also give tea in the filter holder and receives with tea. Crema. So unfortunately Fake Crema, but delicious.)
- Very good in particular, consistent results with different ESE pads (eg Lavazza), while the right lead time is achieved
(Approx. 20 seconds for 25ml)
- Price / performance (if available / discount)
- Cleaning the drip tray: very easy to grip, good capacity
- Good results in frothy milk if gone about the right [...]
more "drag" as "roles" -> is more firmly (expanding foam); more "roles" than "pulling" rather large pores (liquid). Important also the protein content of milk (eg Frischli cappuccino milk 2.5% 1L) is to make it work, for example, very good.
As I said, if offered at a reasonable price somewhere definitely try to learn a great entry-level device.
But will soon acquire a high-quality device.
