Who does like pasta himself, knows the problem that it always somehow has a hand winch with too little. But not with this machine - the little engine helps to collect the dough, you can use both hands to make the plates beautifully by. And what is great too: a significantly harder and dry pasta, which is made with gluten-free flours, the machine packs easily too! The old hand machine had failed here miserably. The entire machine is meticulously crafted and is good on the table. For me, the essays are sufficient, I usually do pasta plates or noodles. Spaghetti I buy he prefers finished: o) Strong buy recommendation from me!
