After a pad machine, a Dolce Gusto and Nespresso machine, I just wanted a machine that provides no frills good coffee. Although the Nespresso machine, this produces a great coffee, but also to a not exactly favorable price. I think I've found it, it really delivers a good coffee, it is hot and has a great crema. I find it important to use definitely worth a good coffee, I'll buy him in a private Rösterrei in Bochum. With waste oil I get no good fries :-). Clear water consumption is slightly higher bzw.ausschalten by the individual rinses when the unit, but I would prefer that the device remains clean. The brewing unit is easy to remove and clean, the individual cleaning programs do the rest. The water filters we have not used, because we have a very soft water. The volume is normal for my feelings, I know other machines in my circle are not silent. Incidentally, the inside of the machine is identical to but considerably more expensive machines, here I only paid for more buttons and a larger display. Since I do without consciously on the possibility of Milchaufschäumens, you understand this cumbersome cleaning, I simply ordered me here an external milk frother. All in all, from me a compelling buy recommendation. So now quickly a cup .... :-) :-) :-)
