The coffee machine is relatively small and light, so that it is at any time to transport. Packed back into the stable box it would be perfectly well able to travel when you might want to take the weekend house, in the second or holiday home, in the student accommodation etc..
The service is super easy. There are above a compartment in which one einlagt the capsule together with the charger holder and locked with the lever. The water tank on the back is very flat held and rounded outwards. For filling it can be easily removed and put back, and he holds 800 ml of water, which is in view of the delicate appearance, did not expect.
Taking the water tank from a needle is right, in a small pocket, attached, which is required for occasional cleaning of the outlet nozzle. The fact that this little cleaner is directly on the machine and can be stored there as well, I find great, because such tiny parts otherwise be easily lost.
The storage space for cups or glasses is provided with a small drip tray and can be adjusted in height, so that the distance to vessel can be optimally aligned and always at the beverage dispensing nothing bib. You can adjust the shelf triple or, for particularly high cups, quite remove.
The water supply is controlled by means of a lever. Here you can choose between cold and hot water, because the machine can not only hot drinks, but also prepare iced tea.
So you can immediately try different drinks the same, a sample pack is 6 capsules. There you can find more information and advice on how much water is needed for each drinks about to get a good result.
What the machine by some users brings criticism, I personally find more practical, namely that the amount of water is not fixed, but every time itself can be dosed. Since the preferences with regard to the strength of coffee go quite apart, this is actually useful. Some perceive it as a disadvantage, because you have to push the lever to the water issue in position and then hold it there until the required amount has been run. But the machine is so fast that it's really not a big amount of time to stand still during the preparation process it.
The Disadvantages:
-You Must hold the lever while the water issue.
-It Can only have one drink per brewing cycle are prepared (but that's most fully automatic as the case).
-The Amount of water is not preset and can not be programmed, but must be redefined themselves with each operation.
-Umgerechnet The preparation with capsules is much more expensive than the purchase of coffee beans or ground coffee.
-For Any beverage which is prepared, falling a plastic capsule as waste.
-Möchte You prepare your coffee with fresh milk, you need an extra milk frother, because there is no integrated in the device.
The Advantages:
+ The device is stylish and compact.
+ It is easy and therefore can also take well.
+ It provides decent results when it comes to the quality of the drinks.
+ The few accessories can be stored and transported on the device, so that you always have everything together.
+ Charger holder and drip tray or shelf can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.
+ The drink, which is output does not come with the capsule holder into contact (as is the case unfortunately with pad machines). Therefore, there is no flavor transfer and therefore no impairment of taste, and there is no problem to prepare quick succession coffee and tea.
+ As you determine the amount of water in each case itself, you also get an individual result and can make coffee and tea according to your own preferences.
+ Who rarely drinks coffee, is hereby be well served, because since the preparation of capsules is certainly cheaper than possibly ground coffee to buy, the rapidly loses flavor and is then discarded, because he no longer tastes.
+ There are a wide range of suitable beverage capsules, and the quality is mostly very good. This type of packaging is absolute freshness in every cup, which are prepared, guaranteed and the result is fully aromatic.
+ Unlike other capsule systems you have here is not necessarily to be a club member and is not dependent on specific shops, but get a wide range of matching drinks capsules in most supermarkets and even in some drugstores, as I have discovered.
Conclusion: For a larger household in which a lot of coffee is drunk, the machine is certainly not suitable, because that would be too expensive and would also produce a lot of waste. Here it is worthwhile to think about an alternative, because the time is for this purpose a fully automatic or a normal coffee pot thoroughly the better choice. We recommend this type of coffee maker for single households, student apartments, for travel or in general for people who rarely (maybe not every day) drink coffee, but then value a good flavor and quick and easy preparation, or the like and no flavor loss between coffee , cocoa and tea change.
