Italian coffee experience at a fair price

When I got to thinking about a possible purchase, a lot of my first decision on a machine out of the house Saeco (now Philips Saeco). My girlfriend has probably heard the request and it was a wonderful birthday gift.

The Talea is actually from the outside completely of silver / gray held plastic, which nevertheless also in this price range leaves a very visually appealing and high-quality impression. It is not square and therefore runs with round beautiful lines to the rear. There she is also held around. Very good, I like the fact that it is light silver and anthracite sold on the sides. The operating element is held in black and equipped with illuminated buttons. The bean container is clearly visible through a clear plastic cover above. Before him two cups have problems Course, next to all the other plastic parts, such as the Ausströhmer for the coffee, the Aromaversteller and the steam nozzle in chrome and operation were gehlaten. There is the machine again a beautiful accent.

The Talea is owbohl it has no fully automatic menu operation, ie with pre-installed and stored beverage types, such as a cappuccino at your fingertips, very easy to use. After the water tank, the same as the grinder, the Brühgrppe, the pulp container and abundance container behind a door on the left and rechtsbefindlichen is itself filled verbiergt, it goes straight to the point. When starting the machine, it performs first a self-cleaning program so that is durchgespühlt the Kaffeeausgeber. Using the control button allows the coffee quantity of Mild adjust over half Mild to strong, then to fix by means of the central rotary adjustment the filling amount in the cup. Then set the personal flavor nor via the patented tiereen Special distillation column and already comes at the touch of the desired coffee.

Disorders, small quantities of water and coffee beans appear like a crowded coffee grounds container and drip tray. If the machine is to be vented, this can also be seen on glowing buttons. Hot water or frothed milk for a Lattemachiato generated over the appropriate frother. All I can perönlich put only the Milky Iceland, which is also vertieben Saeco warmly. This is established by means of a steam pipe next to the Talea and filled with milk. On request created this gorgeous hot milk or perfect milk foam. Cleaning is indeed a little bit awkward, but the result is worth it.

What I love about this machine like very much and I also like very much is the fact that even very large cups, large latte macchiato glasses, or even very small espresso cups or very large cups can be easily used with this machine. The cup rack is adjustable in height, so that almost every vessel fits underneath. I think this is an advantage of this wircklich machine.

The coffee tastes very good and can via. adjustable grinder be set individually. The Chill is not too hot nor too cold. I feel very comfortable as a preset. Smell and taste, which of course by the proper selection of bean dependent (fully automatic suited), is even in this price range simply very good. Cappuccino is using the Milky Iceland a real pleasure and the bar to a feast for the eyes.

Very good, I find the easy cleaning of the fully removable brewing unit, which can be easily ausgespühlt under running water. All maintenance intervals are clearly indicated on the machine and in the manual.

I want to complete the contribution honestly say that after about 8 cups of coffee grounds container is full and thus needs to be emptied. Even the overflow tank is relatively fast full According to the five cups of it is empty. I personally do not find it disturbing because so also no mold or bacteria can find a home.
