At the product itself like shape and coloring metal / black. The precious metal color fits nicely with other stainless steel fronts (eg microwave) in our kitchen, - but in contrast to this rather quickly spotted! Very useful is the - not very big and little contrast - water level indicator and the well can be filled and adjusted to the volume of thermos tank. The Thermos itself has an effective volume of about 8 normal coffee cups á 0.125 l .; the indication on the water tank (8-15 cups is as well from other cup volumes.
Very disappointed we are about the fact that the coffee in the so-called. Thermo-pot hot for a relatively short time and good heat remains (approximately 1.5 hours). Our ISMET coffee exceeds this value by far and also has a with the on / off switch controllable hotplate!
Law unsatisfactory and gewöhnungsbedürft falls from the handling of the thermal lid. (!) The narrow appearing on the black narrow edge of the thermos at each other icons for "Locked / broths" - "pouring" - "Remove cover" are very small and not very rich in contrast; the operation is quite fiddly. Not for seniors and visually impaired !! And not for the impatient and in a hurry. Before Einchenken we take now regularly the cover in order to avoid a sometimes uncontrolled leakage.
If we had not already taken the Philips machine in use, we would certainly send back. But now -. soo bad nor is it again now!
