The Petra Padissima 2: This is the brave, well-functioning, not particularly attractive "workhorse" among the pad machines. But not the only reason why I have been patiently waiting for the Petra-successor to the complex name "KM 42.17 Artenso latte". Although it costs simply double sees it but really good, guests staying at previously missing functionality (!): Finally you can for example continuously adjusted the amount of water according to taste. When Padissima had only the choice between a half-full cup (symbol with a cup) or an overflowing cup (symbol with two cups). Very good solved the different colored status indicators in the key: you can see immediately whether as water is lacking or needs to be descaled. Simply breathtaking but the very short heating time - since buying the comparatively still inexpensive Artenso latte expensive machine with grinder from the cutting: so fast you can not get at all the expensive Jura and Saeco's a good cup of coffee. And even if it now shudder (self-proclaimed) expert: I taste no difference to the freshly ground coffee, at least if you use the dosing with ground espresso. But even with pads it tastes and you get you a fine crema (exception: the highly acclaimed Aldi purse: I take as a burned-bitter aftertaste true). From major Entkalkungsorgien with overpriced tablets like the semiprofessional machine can also take distance. Attention supplement:'ve tasted the milk froth function with the included accessories but now and it works much better than expected; they would not want to miss out now! And so there are flatly 5 stars for Artenso latte.
