Great unit with small defects

1. Design
The design of the unit is very well done. The dark screen looks very high quality and can also be operated intuitively. The machine has a stainless steel casing (except for the service door, this is in color machines, but made of plastic).

Unfortunately, the processing of the machine (especially in this price range) to be desired in my opinion left:

The housing around the display closes when my device does not exactly match the display on, but bulges on one side about 1 mm from the screen so that there is a gap exists. This is probably because the body has been installed around the display under tension / pressure, to warp and has thus succeeded in spite of bonding the display. I hope that the display is still sealed and no additional vapor / moisture through this gap spilled into it.

The device from time to time the infected milk container does not recognize. The microswitch is very sensitive and detects the container only if this was pushed down to the last half a millimeter into the device. A slight wobble at the container leaves the contact open again, so you really need to pay meticulous attention to the established contact here.

2. Preparation / Taste
Here I have to experiment some time with the strength of flavor or milk and coffee quantity, until everything was perfect. Especially in mixed drinks like cafe latte, latte macchiato or cappuccino it makes sense to adapt the settings to his taste. The function -My coffee you can individually adjust milk and espresso or coffee sets. If you have done this once, the unit the settings and the mixture is always perfect notes!

The milk foam succeeds very well with the engine. I tested milk with different fat contents, as I've heard that only milk would provide lowfat the best foam. However, I also at 3.5% fat very good foam - and it also tastes better.

Ideal is the cleaning of the milk container. Simply push milk respect the Clean button and you're done. It is almost impossible.

3. Conclusion
I highly recommend this device, despite the small shortcomings. The design is very good and the device looks in the kitchen very chic. The coffee and milk froth are perfect and leave nothing to be desired.
