Directly from Amazon ordered, delivered a day later, there is nothing quicker.
Packing:
As usual in sturdy cardboard, with short instructions on the inside cover for the various drinks variations. So one would have to not even look at the actual manual, it's kept really simple.
Scope of supply:
Machine, 2 pod holder (1 cup, 2 cups) water tank, Entkalkungshilfe, milk tank.
First use:
Unwrapped, films and protective covers removed. On the cup warmer, a warning and a quick start guide is attached, the machine must be flushed before initial use. Again, you can even save the view in the actual instructions in the meantime.
Set under the spout (highly recommended!) And loose-initiated flushing, sufficiently large container. Takes about 2-3 minutes, then the machine is completely ready to go.
Coffee:
There are various options available strength of the coffee: strong, medium and mild. Accordingly, the amount of coffee that is output. Here is likely to meet its flavor with the right variety at any coffee drinkers. I started with Cafe Crema, which was not so enthusiastic and I ended up with classically and Mild.
In addition, there is the possibility to brew one or two cups.
Milk Variations:
3 preset recipes are available:
Cappucino (recommended Padsorte: classically)
Latte macchiato (recommended Padsorte: Strong)
Cafe Latte (recommended Padsorte: Mild)
The milk foam is, in my opinion, entirely properly and the finished product could be also issued in coffee.
By milk froth function saves you the additional Padsorten cappuccino and latte. This can of course still be used via the normal coffee function.
It is recommended after each use to fill the milk container with clean water and briefly cleaned with a clean program.
In the evening you should take the milk container briefly apart and completely clean with water and a little detergent. Takes less than 2 minutes and saves disgusting deposits.
Cocoa:
I have both the type of Senseo tried that runs independently of the milk frother, as well as Milka version (also without milk frother).
Both taste, whereas Milka tastes better but very expensive also fails pricewise, I paid 3.30 for 7 pads, This is in the long run, of course, violently.
Is a pity that the device has no pure milk function and you have to manage yourself, with use of the Start button, for example. But you knew that before you buy, and is therefore no reason to deduct a star.
Tea:
With an additional teapadholder you can also use tea pods and adjust the strength function whose intensity similar to the coffee.
The result is satisfactory.
Cleaning:
I can not understand, that is partly spoken by consuming cleaning.
Milk tank takes approximately 1.5 minutes and pad holder and inlay are also quickly cleaned under clear water.
External options:
I have ever another pod holder for espresso and tea risen, since I both like to use and am happy with both results.
Conclusion:
Sure, a fully automated system you can get for the money is not set before, but that does not pretend to be the machine.
Nevertheless it provides sufficient capabilities and features to the standard coffee use.
Bearing in mind to be the difference in price and you yourself are not out Germanys Next Barista, you can see the Senseo Latte Select recommend without hesitation.
