The Caffeo Bistro is with us now for almost a year in use (6-8 cups daily) and has fully convinced us. In addition to the high reliability it is characterized by very individual operating modes that can select each user very logical and easy for themselves. From mild to strong in small espresso cup to a 200 ml cup leaves no wish unfulfilled. By combining 2 bean containers, which are very easy to switch, can also be easily distinguished between 2 coffees. Not used to date, we have the additional Füllmöglichkeit with already ground coffee. The emulsifying group we rarely use although it is working properly and is very easy to clean. We prefer the morning a powerful stimulant and treat us to the end of day one more tasty decaffeinated nightcap. The operation as a whole is very logical. Who takes into account the very clear manual will find the Bistro a good coffee-friend who can also be well-positioned because of compact dimensions and position of controls, below wall cupboards. We have to refill only the beans they pull slightly forward, but this is negligible due to the fairly large bean hopper. Something disturbing the operating noise is especially during grinding; but adheres well to all espresso machines. The experience of the previous speaker, we can not understand - maybe it would have helped a glance at the manual; which is actually understandable for everyone. Based on previous experience, we awarded a resounding "Recommended".
Supplement / 21.12.2010 Today we can after more than 2 years of operation, also of long-term experience report: It runs like the first day, we were surprised by any single failure and ensures ever increasing coffee enjoyment and consumption. But we also kept us in this period strictly to the cleaning and Entkalkungsempfehlungen. This is necessary not in vain but also probably in all other machines. We are completely satisfied!
