After it has now adopted in our seven year old Senseo 7820 unfortunately the water tank and no new spare parts more available, we have decided for the 7870 Twist. A Senseo it should be definitely be back and the decisive factor for choosing this machine gave the capacity of the water tank, the design and especially the possibility of influencing the coffee strength with a single keystroke. I am passionate espresso drinkers and used alternately for four different machines. And the sleek espresso use (sold separately) and the key for small amount of water conjures up this machine really an Italian coffee out of a picture book. That I've never known of a good pad machine not sooo. RESPECT! and five points. The issue heating up to brewing: runs ever quite nice there, but does not bother me because I can do something else with the possible delay in the meantime. The fastest is the machine but definitely not.
