The first machine is quality. Robust, well finished, it inspires confidence! Its design is ingenious, not very wide but deep enough it integrates smoothly on a work plan.
Note that the water supply is on the left when looking at the face of the machine, which can complicate its positioning against a wall to the left!
However, there is a kind of optional pedestal to place the machine on it to rotate. Clever.
In use it is really perfect. The heating time is short, the use of very simple functions. The coffee is ready quickly and the preparation of a cappuccino is bluffing!
Steam nozzle is effective, it is not a gimmick. One can also get hot water or warm milk with her.
Maintenance is fast enough. We must think of drain water overflow fairly regularly. Otherwise the machine indicates what to do and when. Scaling is done about every two months and it is possible to add a filter cartridge in the machine, but this is not an obligation (good point).
Finally I conclude with the cost ... While the machine is quite expensive, but the use of a coffee beans remains more economical than buying pods (not to mention the taste ...).
DAfter my findings coffee is two to three times cheaper than a coffee pod. On a year over my average consumption the machine is amortized! A calculation to make.
In short, beautiful machine, good coffee. In a word, perfect.
