Strangely, despite all possible does not require me to Amazon product review on just this. And I'm really excited. We had a Saeco XSmall with which we were very pleased. Unfortunately, the switch between normal operation and frother auszuleiern began, and a repair would probably not worth it. Actually I wanted to buy the XSmall again, the model no longer exists but so and as I the successor (of which you never know if he is just as well) looked to the alternatives, I came across this device. It confirms the old phrase "Better is the enemy of the good". Here you get the little things that XSmall missing in: adjustable output, coffee strength, regardless of the amount of water set, no "evaporation" after foaming necessary and - as I saw yesterday - descaling without "overall service" (the XSmall requires all 3 minutes of attention, the ECAM dealt a half hour all by myself). Oh yes, of course: the coffee tastes at least as good. So, who like me is just around the alternative XSmall or ECAM, which I can only recommend the ECAM.
Only the fact that the "silver" model 70 more cost I find outrageous. It would have liked more, but the extra cost is disproportionate. Finally, it is only plastic and not silver. But that has admittedly nothing to do with this model here.
