Siemens EQ.8 300
Equipped with water filter
Coffee, espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino are tried. Milk froth there were again specially because the milk in tetra pack was all before the machine had finished foam.
Over coffee and espresso nothing to complain.
Cappuccino is but usually prepared as an espresso and then poured the milk foam. This makes the fully automatic andersrum and consequently builds more or less a small latte macchiato together, at least goes milk foam in the cup of coffee and then comes over the top.
I then started searching for the best coffee and buy different varieties. Since it is cumbersome to fill for direct comparison, the beans one by one and it also no clean separation but rather a blend of coffees from around the world, I would have taken with a coffee grinder and ground the beans by hand.
With the prepared coffee I have 2 spoons filled into the chamber and voted an espresso. It worked.
Same freeness, other beans,
Task is simple: Take a latte macchiato.
Filled milk and milk foam is no problem, the setting great, + 20ml, 2 tablespoons of powder and started. Unfortunately, no coffee came out of the spout.
With 1 1/2 spoons I had more then color in the glass. Perhaps it is also because of the variety. Had unfortunately then the coffee in the drip tray float instead in glass.
It may be necessary range for a small serving spoon.
Volume machine marc: 17.4 g 16.5 g (30min) loosened, 16.2 g (1h)
Amount manually marc: 11.8g, not compact, more of a heap
Input was 1 spoon
2 spoons filled, coarser degree of grinding was too fine, 21,4g
Even more, the expected form in the pulp container
Result: too fine grinding degree. After the first attempt, I had adjusted the too much of good.
Designed so unhappy I'll find the size of the spoon. The times do not fit horizontally held in the chamber, you have to turn him in. If one above simply drop out of the air, a lot especially in the drawer at the edge of a 4-5mm wide gap could fall next to it, is where you can see through from top to bottom.
The spoon is the correct size, painted it betw. 11 and 12g of ground coffee.
After some time of usage I am now off and must replace the filter. Am satisfied with the device. It is nice that the drip tray is compact and flat that they can if necessary also times in the dishwasher. The panel front is engaged not as before but simply inserted and can be easily removed.
Something ugly, you really need a permanent tabs which splashes that remain when flushing on the cup warmer by the coffee spout are happening at the cappuccino maker also from and for that you have to clean the front panel.
It is good that I stay no deposits in the actual milk nozzle for the simple Renigung of Milchsysystems. The one can indeed lose weight and disassemble. There was nothing in it. One is reminded regularly to clean the milk system, only flushes the machine when the coffee spout is pivoted on the milk nozzle and simple switches only. This area of the drip tray is located and would then run mercilessly.
The machine offers so this flavor Double Shot. But you should keep in mind that this 2x the portions are ground, instead of 30 cents for the cup with a correspondingly expensive beans same time 60 Cent and more. In the long run that is really expensive.
