THE MACHINE:
The machine acts externally stylish and elegant.
The mounting foot for the coffee cup is held by a magnet on the machine. If you do not need it, you can simply push it to the side of the machine, where it adheres well. Between coffee spout and mounting foot is about 9 cm, without foot, so it's virtually from the countertop to the coffee spout approx 13.5 cm.
The heating time after power is extremely short, so maybe 10-15 seconds. The coffee itself is then done well in no time. The coffee selection (capsule as well as water quantity) may take place while the heating, so no need to stand beside it.
The milk frother is very high quality, elegant yet extremely robust. The Milchaufschäumvorgang only takes about 30 seconds. According to the manual actually UHT milk should be used, but I use the "ordinary" 1.5 -% - fat fresh milk version. So it works without problems even :-)
The creamer is very easy to clean, simply rinse hot and then wipe with a kitchen towel. It can withstand any problems running water, but it must not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Behind the Milchaufschäum- (or heating) tank is located on the foot of a small folding hood, under the can be the Milchheizspirale or foam generation application store, to avoid getting lost.
This DeLonghi Aeroccino3 with the actual Nespresso machine and milk frother-are not interconnected. This results in a more flexible installation while, on the other hand the milk frother is as always a little further away, thereby reducing the space required total slightly increased and the corner does not "organize" will appear, but that's a matter of taste.
Important note: When starting up the device, you should be sure of the location. For me, a lot of coffee-water from the machine ran out, as I have just easily transported diagonally on the opposite side of the kitchen. Those who regard the site also as I umentscheidet, which is strongly advised, the water previously thoroughly according to the instructions (as well as for repairs) to run. I had this need absolutely no consideration for such a minor change of location.
THE COFFEE:
After I came not only in the enjoyment of an enclosed sample capsule, but also of (almost) every variety have now acquired a pack and it tested again, I can say in general terms in any case that every single type of coffee develops an extremely high quality taste , Not all varieties meet now, especially in comparison, quite necessarily my taste Rosabaya I präferiere example neither pure nor as Macchiato but they all have something very special. Almost all Grands Crus taste absolutely irresistible. The Ristretto (like all espresso varieties I tested only in the 40 ml variant) is both neat and with milk froth my favorite. The Dulsão do Brasil is him dangerously close on his heels, though it tastes as Macchiato significantly creamier and less intense. The Linizio is very long after you and enjoys eeewig where Kaffeenachgeschmack on the tongue. The Decaffeinato Intenso brings its own or as a macchiato even in the evening delicious coffee flavor, without compromising the night's rest. The Vivalto Lungo is actually "versatile" Every sip tastes "different," and absolutely delicious
Other information:
1. The machine is a package with 16 different types of coffee capsules to sample. However, you want as I try each variety as variation with milk (foam), to get better or worse, not get around to actually buy one of each kind nor a package.
2. Lt. Description can be around 1000 (!) Scalding cups before a descaling is required.
3. None of the parts is dishwasher-safe according to the description! But the drip trays for empty capsules and nachtropfenden coffee can also be added as needed, rinse / wash times and the milk container would be needed (as Macchiato-addict like me) anyway back before the next time the dishwasher has finished. Apart from the cleaning is absolutely not costly
4. I am lucky, just 100 meters from one of the m. E. to stay away for a few Nespresso stores, but who does not share this, must order the capsules plus shipping costs. The prices, however, should consider themselves Nespresso even know if they just under the circumstances - should provide free not least for orders of 20 or 30 EUR.
CONCLUSION:
The drastic change in my coffee units now demanded even after a dishwashing conversion, but that is it worth it to me :-) all varieties taste extremely high quality, better than in any café or at least the local coffee in nothing below. Almost all varieties are a true dream in conjunction with milk (foam). Here, a macchiato saturates (up to minimum mark in the milk frother) as strong in spite of itself very low milk output quantity that you sometimes can replace a meal so that for example in time trouble. Who wonders if he now prefers to establish a Kaffeepadmaschine or a Nespresso machine, which is highly recommended for a Nespresso machine, even if the price (justified) here is slightly higher (this machine here m. E. is sold far below their value !). And whether you like now the hype surrounding Nespresso with its exclusive Club are positive or dismissive of, a better coffee in a more diverse offer is hard to imagine for me. My personal demand has leveled off at 2-3 capsules per day. The machine is Macchiato after very intensive use (14 days with so far a total of 50 coffees (about 50% pure and as still not surpass them well 40 for myself) with respect to the produced coffee and making coffee for addiction factor no regret "shot" can :-) High follow-up costs, but worth every single penny
Addendum: The coffee does somehow addicted. Now, after about 4 months I sometimes get while still with 2 capsules a day of, at the weekend there are also times of up to 7 (!): - / I thought originally, one would commit to 6-7 varieties, you then always in the house, but I enjoy still the wealth of variants, although the "Roma" in the meantime has established itself as my favorite. But the Volluto comes z. B. best when it is drunk by nougat, Capriccio and Cosi offer a milder variety, the Indriya provides a somewhat stronger alternative, the best Lungo, Vivalto, will every now and then sometimes by a Fortissio replaced and at the evening you Kaffeejieper then accesses to Decaffeinato Intenso or Dec. Lungo ... with milk then comes so each variety also different again ... So I really wonder how some people can choose to be ... 6 varieties excluded from the replacement I have only the Arpeggio, the Rosabaya and the "normal "Decaffeinato (Espresso).
