Qualitatively not outstanding

We have in September 2009 gained us this coffee maker in our own store here Melitta in Minden. The removable heat plate is a fine thing, if you take the coffee with out takes or the machine does not have all the time in operation.
At the weekend now the whole electrics has adopted.
No heating function of the board, no Brühfunktion - nothing.
Only the power button lights up peacefully in front of him.
My wife has the machine today dropped off at Melitta and described the failure.
With regard to the time elapsed since 3 months warranty, you can "naturally" do nothing.
Score one for the heating plate, a point for the safe recycling of the good piece directly from Melitta.

Conclusion:
Dear ne cheap hardware store number, the last as long and costs half.
Even a well-sounding name does not change anything ...
