The machine is compact, super processed and looks really classy! It runs for three months with no dropouts and makes excellent super hot coffee. The plot is really simple and almost self-explanatory. The machine switches off after brewing again by itself. The amount of water for espresso or lungo, you can individually set and save, but can be during the brewing process manually stop, but if you need even less water. What no longer seems possible with the new machines, is the use of "foreign-caps"! This capsule machine no problem: We have tried capsules with the net and it works! You have to push a little more gently when closing. So you need not always the expensive capsules, but can sometimes buy (especially for frequent drinkers) the slightly more favorable. However, you could tell the taste difference. If she holds a little longer now ... what more could you want!
