only a 2 *, but now 4 *

Original Rev .: 2 stars
Actually, it's fine - "our Petra". The coffee tastes better than from any other machine, the operation is simple and you can have a coffee time just. I would like to just say that you look her directly that because eventually something has to go wrong on the quality of the machine itself !!!
Especially (I hope) "our Petra" but has a drawback, it is only a good year old (13 months), but already defective at the 2 times. The first time the water ran out tough anywhere, just not where it should go through. The customer service from the petra-electric GmbH is however prima: machine there sent prepaid with a copy of the bill, waited 2 weeks and she was back, fully operational ...
Unfortunately this pleasure did not last too long, because the morning when I wanted to exact a coffee "the Petra" yesterday, they went on strike so much that the same backup is kicked out and I stood in the dark. Well, now Petra is back on the road to friendly customer service.
Since I have my "old" Senseo yet, the wait is not so bad :-)
The coffee tastes great, but the instrument itself is flawed,
for that, I think the price is still too high then.

Addendum (29/11/2011): change my review from 2 stars to 4 stars
Reason: The customer has a whole new sent at the 2nd problem that now since (2008) is fully functional. I suppose I probably just had bad luck the first unit ...
