Based on a first query in the shop, which would cost a comparable machine, then stood up in room 500. Surprisingly, Saeco has since been bought by Philips, which the circumstance explained why always the Website of Philips showed up at keyword "Saeco".
As experienced already in stores and found on the website, also the smaller models have since incorporated most features my defective Incanto Deluxe:
- Pre-brewing
- Adjustable ceramic grinder
- Temperature selection
- Choice of coffee quantity
- Spühlprogramm
- Descaling
In daily use, the washing program has proven to be very useful, because the machine cleans so regularly that all hose connections. No later than the first descaling an automatic program is very useful, because then you can just to make a bowl and the machine does the rest itself.
After comparison of the different models I finally decided on the model Intelia Evo class. It has all the features you want from me. Since I already have rarely milk beverages produced with the Incanto deluxe, I could do without the automatic for milk beverages. With a price of just under 380 was clear, that should not be repaired my old machine.
For several days the new Saeco now running in my kitchen and produced diligently coffee. The commissioning was done quickly and the operation is straightforward. The symbols used are understandable and similar to its predecessor. Among the outlet even larger cups fit including what was already difficult with my predecessor. The outlet can be adjusted.
The water tank is located on the left front. Only drawback is that you can not see, such as the water level is up to date. In addition, the steam nozzle must be turned with the frother to the side, if water needs to be refilled.
The coffee grounds container is a good size and is located on the right front side.
On the right side is a flap, so that you can take out the brewing unit.
The drip tray for durchgespühle water is very shallow and long and fairly under the entire machine. They should in time empty, otherwise it will be tricky to transport the full cup.
The machine switches itself off automatically after and flushed through, if it is not used. The interval is adjustable.
The throughput rate of coffee could be a little faster. Overall, however, I am satisfied with the quality of the coffee produced, what is the main thing.
