We have brought us this fully automatic machines to replace the Krups EA8000, which already after 2 weeks gave up the ghost. We are very pleasantly surprised: the grinder is very quiet, the frother is almost not make out the noise! (You know what I mean in other ways) Otherwise, it holds what promises DeLonghi: -Easy filling of the water tank from the front -Easy replenishment of beans from above -Easy Emptying the pulp container from the front (integrated with the drip tray) Low maintenance -super simple control panel: coffee size is set on wheels: My espresso coffee Normal coffee Big coffee Starch is adjusted by repeated button: pre-ground-very mild mild-normal-strong-very strong -Milchaufschäumer Can produce milk froth, hot milk and hot water for tea without cream
So we are happy with herself and put this device each warmly :)
