In addition to a fully automatic, this machine in my opinion is the best alternative for the workplace, for example. The coffee is made quickly and tasted really good.
As I said. The known system has been maintained: three buttons (Off / On, small cup, large cup), which can be operated intuitively. The first machines had no Kalkindikator but was upgraded some time ago and is to be found in this machine. Likewise, the two known Padholder in small and large.
The design is modern and compact. The color a matter of taste, but here not too intrusive, so that my colleagues do not feel disturbed.
Unfortunately fit - despite the advertised higher coffee spout - even now not all standard cups / glasses for coffee underneath. My Latte Macchiato glasses from WMF fail still. Too Bad.
Nevertheless, one can only recommend this system.
Capsules of Nespresso machines keep taste certainly good with, strain due to the high volume of waste but the bad conscience - then prefer pads.
