+ Removable water tank: The water tank can thereby that it is removable filling and cleaning easy. We knew so normal filter coffee machine yet, but is a positive development.
+ Thermos: Thermos us is personally very important in a filter coffee machine. Sure, the coffee should not be stored in it for hours, but just for example, at a more detailed Breakfast / Brunch we like it better when the coffee in the thermos on the table and then also really nice stays fresh-warm! When thermos can only complain that the symbols (opening, closing, etc.) are difficult to see. If you use the pot for years, of course it is no longer a problem. For guests who are rarely there, the pot a little mystery is sometimes the beginning ("How are you on?").
+ AromaSelect: A nice addition is the "AromaSelect" function with which you can set whether the coffee to be mild, normal or strong. That was not our old model and is very convenient if you still want to vary times.
+ Cleaning: The filter can be used in the dishwasher. The Thermos is according to instruction there not pure (according to instruction should hatnäckige for residues of hot water and a spoonful of baking soda can be used for cleaning). We had, however, in the dishwasher, because we do it with our predecessor, now and then to make them nice to get really clean again - and we never had problems with it.
+ Automatic shut-off: Is the coffee ready gone through, the coffee machine automatically switches off (another keeping warm is not necessary due to the thermos flask).
+ Operation: The Philips HD7697 / 90 Intense coffee can be operated very intuitively. Since I come as a little-Kaffeetrinkerin directly handle it.
+ Entkalkfunktion: With the aroma selector there is also a feature that "Calc" and called for descaling as is (to the water tank is then filled with household vinegar).
+/- Fingertapper-prone: Brushed stainless steel has of course always the disadvantage that you can see Fingertapper quickly. On the other hand looks at the combination of stainless steel and black plastic also very pretty - we personally like it very much. But I take this point even neutral, as this could possibly be a nuisance for some.
CONCLUSION: We love the development of our favorite coffee machine! The great part just got better - deserved 5 stars! (And if we could wish for what another successor model, which would be a timer function - otherwise we are really totally happy with this coffee maker!).
