Sporadic every second or third cup of a beverage was only lukewarm. The workshop in Bielefeld could not find anything supposedly, there was not apparently considered intense enough. The unit came by the way still soaking wet back. That can not be. In the spare machine the same error. So unfortunately back and from my side: Stay away !!! I now expect the refund. To notice would be even that I have a similar machine from Krups in use. Since September 2014 came with this device such a thing before not.
