Since we were already the predecessor Severin SM 9685 (the model example!) Have, I am sorry to say that it has become much worse compared to this, in terms of quality.
The foam is still great, but compared to its predecessor, the Black Severin has some drawbacks:
1. The Black frother has only one socket for the attachment used instead of two as its predecessor, so always a must remain in the vessel.
2. The Black frother has no seal on the cover above, which leads to much higher noise levels, and especially to rattle the lid! While the other is completely quiet!
3. The lid has no Einfüllungsloch as its predecessor, so what you want to add to his sparkling, you always have to remove the cover Fully Operational!
4. Variable temperature control in my opinion is meaningless and is used only to PR because you always just cold, medium or very hot used and you can select these settings in the predecessor much faster than the new model, it is also the predecessor at a disadvantage.
The only thing that is a selling point, is the color, which is why we have this ordered separately.
Had we but known that he is as much "worse" than its predecessor, we would have preferred the other ordered.
Nevertheless super foam, but if you have to choose, I would repays the wise predecessor 700ml know, not the black!
Clear step backwards from Severin and it is a like a cheapening of the predecessor before!
