1. The original water tank is still quite small and quite often has to be refilled. I do not use the regular coffee cups, but already one size larger and take my 2 cups at a time to get out. Because of this I can think of 3 - 4 cups of coffee to pass through a "full tank". So if time pending visit, rather take a few bucks in his hand and buy a larger tank to.
2. The outlet is in my opinion a lot of nerve! Cheap plastic! Here I would have expected from a Senseo significantly more. Moreover, one should not take the cup to the finished brew equal out, but leave a few more seconds, the this model (or just my?!?) Tends nachzutropfen. Certainly some readers are going to say what's the point, but a drip tray underneath to catch are those drops. This may be so, but I had already other pad machines, which was produced with a significantly higher pressure of the coffee and not a drop to dripping. Therefore, everyone needs to know even if it interferes with something or not. Me personally it bothers, already, but one reason for the machine to send back there is now neither.
3. The amount can not be regulated. Should I say can not be programmed, how much water should be brewed in two cups. Every good pad machine should offer the possibility to set the batch size. After all, indeed probably almost every coffee drinker different cup sizes or maybe even a favorite cup which overflows possibly because can not be set how much water is now to be scalded. Since then remains only the solution are the brewing process to stand next to the machine and at the right moment to switch off the machine to interrupt the brewing process and to prevent overflowing the cup. Eigenlich a KO criterion, or is it? Everyone needs to know yourself.
4. The period to a cup of coffee is ready. Here the impression of each is itself also again asked if it lasts too long or not. I for myself can say that partially passes an eternity by pressing the ON button until ready to operate the machine. Previously had a Petra-pad machine, which requires a significantly shorter heating time since. Even the brewing process itself was faster. But as I said, the coffee tastes like coffee and comes out hot down, therefore .....
So! I hope I could give you a little about my experiences Eidruck to you and it might help you a bit in the decision whether it should be this pad machine or not. I personally have my pad machine not sent back, which as I said is actually however be attributed only to the optics. Also, I had a bad experience with Petra made with regard to the longevity. So I hope now time that Senseo at least once here can score and the machine its 2 least - lasts 3 years.
