The packaging is constructed before wonderfully logical and user-friendly. Only a few handles and you've got the machine in hand. It is compact and therefore takes not a tremendous amount of space in the kitchen away. Toll!
The design is appealing modern but not pretentious. Thus, the machine fits in almost any kitchen, whether rustic or modern. The surfaces of the Special-T are polished and shiny. Visible marks are therefore unfortunately everyday. But the tea is supposed to taste and the machine not only look good.
Commissioning is surprisingly quick and easy thanks to the well designed and illustrated instructions. What surprised me: the machine next to 12 capsules a matching teacup was supplied. By that I had not expected, but I think it's great.
The capsules have for me a big drawback: they are not labeled. One can only account for the colors and the legend in the package, which tea is now pushing into the machine. That's just for people with color blindness or the like is not beneficial. And also I think the colors are not meaningful enough. Here I would have found better printing of the name on the capsule.
However, the tea itself is very tasty and also brewed quickly. What amazed me: the tea comes directly into a pleasant drinkable temperature of the machine. From a professional I have then let's say that you really do not know how I've always done it, should pour boiling water tea. Therefore Nestle machine does everything right.
Since capsules and also water filters are not cheap, the Special-T is more something for the casual tea drinkers. Anyone who drinks several gallons of tea daily, should continue to prepare the traditional way of tea, because otherwise he suffocated in packaging waste and expense.
Conclusion: a fine machine that I no longer hergebe. A strong buy recommendation for occasional tea connoisseurs.
