New generation, new look, new efficiencies!

I used for 30 years, percolators and other espresso machines (all very noisy, dirty quickly, and never know what to do marc) until there are seven years ago, where, there, I ' I discovered Nespresso, for a coffee or more less better and more expensive! And besides, a little ecological system.
There are two years, I opted for a Senseo second generation, there remained the same cost of coffee with pods which themselves are recyclable and environmentally friendly!
Then, as everything is in the aptly descriptive Philips, joined the Amazon page, I will not reiterate to describe the obvious features of this new Senseo, but rather, you do some sort of comparison with my previous Senseo, of which, after all, I was already very satisfied.

- All accessories (sturdier than before) are removable (also easier to disassemble) and dishwasher-safe.
- The assembly is made entirely of plastic (for cons, know that the rust and old metal evil!), Again, the previous stainless steel drainer was noisy and slippery!
- Electronics are better thought, since it does not undergo lid hinge, and being tactile, it is completely protected from moisture (the former took the live steam from below).
- The program keeps in memory the last setting, the old was recovering from scratch.
- Best fitting lid and handle is more solid.
- Former quite noisy (and vibrating) it, we do not pay attention to it, as it is not very noisy.
- All previous functions have been postponed: seeing limestone dosage for a tight or a long, one or two cups, height adjustment cups, two filter media.
- Fuel capacity is the same, but more importantly, there is no longer a magnet water sensor (thus less risk of malfunction as with the other). Its shape is straight and not wobbly, a beautiful transparent and flare! The other, dark gray plastic and rounded Vineyard was a nightmare to clean.
- The most important is the result in the cup, and there, nothing has changed this generation is equal to the previous. For the same coffee is always good, no particular improvement in taste, which is not a concern, since I already found it very good and frothy! And with any brand.

So the three strengths of this coffee are:
1. an equally tasteful espresso served in a local bar, for an average cost (0.10 percent against 1.30 euro coffee on average).
2. the motor is somewhat noisy.
3. ease of cleaning of the assembly.

In conclusion: it is a very good compromise between quality, efficiency and speed for a quality / very reasonable price, since, by drinking three cups of coffee a day (my conso), and at 1 euro (self-service machine ) 90 euros are amortized in a month! After that, it is only 0.10 percent coffee!
