Property now since 16 March 2010, the Inventum HK20S in daily operation!
And I'm very happy with it!
Previously I had a Tassimo by Bosch but had me in "maintenance" too expensive!
First of all, my opinion contrasts with the product description:
-> Design + Processing: Inventum HK20S may look noble even at second glance from but now times simply made of plastic with stainless steel look!
It fits with their slim design much better in my kitchen as a Senseo (Quadrante) or Tassimo!
The dimensions are as follows: B = 35.5cm x 20.5cm x T = H = 34cm
The upper edges of HK20S are not processed 100% clean, but this falls only the very critical viewer on!
In daily operation, the slight drawback is forgotten very quickly (see pictures)!
The Maximum cup height is 11cm incidentally could not be better!
The water tank has to be removed quickly and easily and filling goes also very easy!
All moving parts are easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
Quote Product description: "Individual taste experience by regulating the amount of water"
To set the "taste" there are 2 small soft-touch buttons on the screen which you have a choice between 4 different amounts of water for each festgelegeten 1 or 2 cups!
Quote Product description: "Thus, the consumer has only one pad holder" -> There is still a long tea-pad holder provided!
The thick Senseo Cappucino pad fits the way only once in!
Taste: How does it taste comes naturally to the pads on the one buys!
The machine makes coffee and the good and no lumps!
Well, the choice is huge! While cheap pads of discounters (of the penny in the logo) and completely fail to complete Senseo Pads taste with me the pads of Mellitta "Up and Awake" or Lavazza or Tchibo are really good !!!
All in all I would repeat my Inventum HK20S until now in any case!
Although I was initially critical!
Once there are problems with the machine of course I'll note it here!

I'm still very pleased with the coffee!
Only the water tank can not be so easy to clean because you walk only with a stick brush.
Update 09.08.2011
Still goes without any problems!
