It's my first coffee machine. If I compare it with the 2000 euros device of my bosses, the coffee tastes my Automats me much better. When I use Einsteigerin Cafe Crema of Tchibo, the vollmunding, somewhat bitter taste. The machine is handy to use and has a nice design. Even I can not receive other reviews say that the Kafee would not be hot enough. One star deduction there for the volume: MEGA !!! Now, you will be awake in the morning at least equal right.
