Looking for an adequate replacement of our pad machine with easy handling, we stumbled upon a consideration for Senseo ratios, relatively stylish HD7873 / 50. The design with the glowing red touch display and the water tank side, spoke to us right away. The tank was in proportion to the slightly cheaper models of this series design, bigger and has primarily an integrated Brita water filter; perfect for our kalkbelasteten water! Trigger for our new purchase of a pod machine was the annoying handling of Padfachs at the WMF machine; Sitting pads not absolutely akkorat and smooth in the middle of the pod holder, you do not get the twist grip in the position to a brewing process to the first place can trigger ... annoying! Since we already have a Senseo before WMF had (but which were always ugly), we knew about the absolutely simple, Morgenmuffel suitable pad-insertion technology. The gets full marks in this model. Just as easy is the coffee dial keypad; well done. However, what deserves 2 star deduction is in proportion to the price, very cheap feel. It would have the body and the cover of the drip collector for the money like can make out in stainless steel and / or stainless steel finish. The photos gave the so not forth; even with Zoom view! Equally evaluate negative, the stops as opposed to the older Senseo models in this price range, if there is insufficient amount of water the 2-cup function starts and just after only one cup quantity. In the old Senseo choice could not even be activated when the water for 2 was not enough ... Too bad. If you do not previously noted, the 1 button must be activated after refilling again ... Otherwise you get a, as usual great-tasting, hot coffee with crema wunnderbarer! All in all not Fehllkauf! :-)
