The capsules can be insert easily and be activated with the lever movement. This mechanism is easy to perform (without much resistance). The warm-up time is very short. The Brühergebnis is (has been tested: Latte Macchiato, Cocoa and Cafe Crema) to my taste very good. The Cafe Crema wurdde his name more than lives - a beautiful crema. And very important: the coffee is very hot.
There are three stages for the drip to position different cup sizes in the machine. Drip pan has sufficient capacity to absorb about remainders. For water tank I can only say that this is quite sufficient for my use (0.8 l capacity).
The machine has a special feature: it also produces soft drinks (we made iced tea). With a simple lever movement can prepare a cold drink. Small disadvantage: the drink will only be as cold as the water in the tank. This therefore means that the little machine has no cooling function.
Another big plus: after a few minutes without use, the DeLonghi switches off. This is a very useful feature, which does not exist in older models.
A little tip: as the machine in the production of coffee easily drips, I always recommend first removing the cap and then remove the cup. Otherwise, the drip tray is quite fast.
Finally a hot tip for maintenance: let at intervals through a descaler every now; significantly increases the durability of Kaffeedüse which otherwise quickly calcified (experience with an older brand of DeLonghi).
And one more thing:. Removable parts such as drip tray and capsule holder can be removed and cleaned easily.
Super - buy recommendation.
