Now I have this machine almost a year and I like hardly another coffee !! The coffee is pretty hot (not too hot), a wonderful crema, the foaming milk to the intake pipe has works just fine, and if you after each frothing milk can suck like clear water, the cleaning is not a problem. For all forgetful (like me), I recommend the purchase of a milk hose brush / cleaning brush for the milk tube of fully automatic coffee machines (eg Saeco, Jura, Nivona, etc.) Cleaning / descaling the machine really is not magic, if you follow the instructions, you can also clean the brewing unit manually. A little tip: If you palm scans in the machine up, is there a tube around which is a rubber seal. This seal occasionally rub with Vaseline! A star deduction there, because this machine has 2 defects that would fix certainly easy for Siemens: As my predecessors have criticized the emptying of the water collecting container is the purest egg dance, and some beans slipping into the grinder but get stuck and you have shake slightly, so they slip through. Siemens said that was up to about greasy coffee beans, but why buy the coffee for the machine? It would be easier to construct the machine so that ALL Kaffebohnen slip ?? Meanwhile, I have found, however coffees, where that does not happen. But the most important thing is probably how the coffee is, and is in this machine just perfect!
