... In several points: - The steam outlet on the left side is to get over, - The steam pipe ends so just next to the base of the machine that you can not leave the milk container for foaming but it needs to hold the entire time during the foaming process. - The switch has not as indicated four positions (coffee, from, pressure build-up, vapor). Pressure build-up (heating with the valve closed) is not provided. In this respect, the result is pitiful when frothing milk. The steam pipe can be bend with hearty courage handle. The frothing can be improved significantly if, after entering the coffee to the first division line (still cold) steam nozzle for about 20-30 seconds with your fingertip zuhält (3.5 Bar - laughter) until a clear bubbling in the boiler to is heard. Caution: Only then close the valve, then remove your finger! Otherwise there is a risk of scalding, the steam is faster than the hand ;-) I am preparing for more than 30 years of cappuccino with a variety of machines and always wonder where should arise bar overpressure in a semi-open system 10 or more ?? The filter holder can be used with all machines eventually escape the pressure when the coffee flows through. I also think that at best the higher temperature in a preheated pressurized boiler for making tasty. Unfortunately I have found no other replacement for our old machine with 4-position selector switch, so this machine may temporarily serve as a stopgap measure.
