The machine gave it a try for under 300, but really good. Meanwhile (after 2 months) and the initially somewhat lukewarm therefore coming coffee is prepared really hot. Annoying is the complete conversion to sensors. Constantly on the machine from: Water tank empty, absorber full, descaling. You have to remove the container every time (the old Saeco could refill in operation), the annoying. Especially when you stand on large cups. Also descaling can not be postponed, no more coffee from now on equal. Even if one has descaler at hand, almost an hour is no more. Addendum: After three years, we still curse on the thing (after all, it has long held). Every now and then you have to dry some sensor, so that it runs. Apparently they do not like water in the water tank or receptacle, there's only by wiping with a paper towel. Meanwhile, the seal is broken the water tank; at night they must therefore remain empty. The often required descaling we pass with minimal water flow, the machine does not notice ;-)
