The Melitta solo followed us on a 13 year old law, which took their well-earned retirement. Despite some warnings on the Internet, we bought the machine and they worked from the beginning. The manual is good and meaningful. Commissioning should each get. The change in the basic settings is explained well and happy you try for a little. The brewing capacity is, especially considering the low price, performed flawlessly. Freeness and water quantity are easily tuned. The coffee gets a beautiful crema, especially if you use higher-quality espresso. The noise level is acceptable for a machine with grinder. For cleaning purposes, the removal of the brewing unit is very easy to do. As a hot water / steam wand is missing, also falls the usually high cleaning effort away after the milk foaming. The only drawback is the extremely high water consumption for flushing purposes in the machine. The drip tray is full to the brim again after a few cups. But since the Leeeren's no big deal, that's bearable. Overall a good and its price is more than worth the machine.
