Further advantageous improvements are the soft touch keys that you can not see in the off mode and the slide of the capsule insert. This is simply moved forward or backward, and not, as the lever is pressed in my older model, up and down. These changes I like very well.
The coffee itself tasted as good as the old machine, logically. For newbies: you have to test yourself, a best taste what varieties and you will soon have his favorites. DeLonghi delivers here with a sample pack of 16 different capsules, so you can immediately begin testing. One can vary also, that if a too strong espresso brands, you can prepare them as "lungo" with more water. Because you can determine the amount of water even by pressing the "Lungo" -, "espresso" or "ristretto" button, you have the strength of its coffee in their own hands. My personal favorite is the espresso capsule "Indriya from India", a very hearty, spicy espresso.
Another tip: the catch basin under the capsule container for used capsules should be emptied frequently, depending on use, to have no adverse flooding.
Another positive note is the very short heating and pleasantly hot coffee temperature.
The Aeroccino makes perfect milk foam and comes with two attachments. The essay unneeded can I accommodate an attachment container, can not be lost and thus is always at hand. Very well thought out the whole thing. The cleaning is effortless.
Nespresso what, else?
