This is my first review on Amazon.com. The machine is great, I am very excited! It makes great espresso, cappuccino and coffee (Lungo)! The aroma that produces the machine is better than any fully automatic, I know, and comes very close to an Italian café. For a morning coffee I take Pads (Tschibo Crema) and the Lungo setting. For cappuccino and espresso previously the ground coffee from Lavazza (black box). When fully automatic one has the advantage that you only have to press a button, but the flavor is not as good and you have in addition to the significantly higher price even more maintenance. The wash cycle of this machine is simple and effective, no brewing unit to be removed, not relatively quickly either full or gammliger pulp container in the machine .... and also adjusted this machine through its manageable proportions not the whole kitchen. The water tank is generous and the milk tank also sufficient. Super is that one (press the button again and the program will stop the water running) the amount can regulate itself. Therefore, you can really make a flavorful espresso or Cappucciono produce (the preset amount of water is me personally too much - too little flavor, but then by an earlier termination of the water flow all the best). Everything goes ratzfatz and in the morning I have my coffee even faster than with the conventional run coffee machine .... And all that for one-fifth of the money, what a decent coffee machine costs ... At first I had the Phillips Senseo milk tank in the eye and am very glad that I chose for the screen printing variant for the Senseo coffee ..... (any pads) that I have been drinking with acquaintances, came from the flavor not even to a fully automatic zoom. Therefore: Never again something other than screen printing with automatic espresso milk program ... the best solution for all those who have taste and coffees, want with little effort and cost !!!
