Processing:
Also is ok, but not more. Much plastic, right quality, only the front, the drip tray, and the rule of massive filter holder (which is not unimportant yes).
There is this machine even in a robust stainless steel design, but this appears not to be still on the market. Given the price, the workmanship is but OK.
Really annoying is only the entire drip tray, but the very loosely inserted in the housing, this can not be locked and ensures decent rattling during espresso cover.
Functionality:
At this price the big plus of Carezza.
It has a pre-infusion, which is really great and rare in this price range. If you have only once the correct grinding degree (with my mill quite fine) found and the powder quite strong getampt, the machine conjures up an excellent espresso, whose quality is of course still depends on the quality of the bean. The Crema has fine pores, very high, beautiful golden color and taste great. With this machine, so you can produce a real crema and not this air foamed, tasteless, coarse-pored pseudo Cremas. As important turned out, always only once to make an idle, thus heats up the filter holder. The increases earnings tremendously.
Frother:
Does what he should. Works fine. Steel nozzle can be cleaned hygienically.
Cup Warmer:
Thus this warms cups must be turned on for a long time the machine. Is thus rather useless, but this is not so bad, after all, one can keep his cups, too short under hot water.
Conclusion:
Ideal as a second machine, or as a starter machine for the small purse.
Strong buy recommendation!
