For some time our Delonghi Magnifica brought out only a lukewarm broth off. The name coffee no longer deserved that. Replacement was needed, the cybermonday was there, Juche.
The Krups comes packaged very well, was set up and connected quickly. Then the first shock: The miserable user. Some passages I had repeatedly read to understand at all what it says. Then missing some information (such as the symbols of the cappuccino maker is not explained). When setting the grind today I'm still not sure how rum the wheel is turning. Although the text is clear, the symbols on the wheel speak another language.
Anyway, once looked at all settings, lo and behold you can adjust the temperature of the coffee. So once at maximum set (of three levels), scalded first cup and down tilted like the lukewarm soup I was used to: muzzle burned! The machine is really very very hot coffee, so it should be.
Marc container looked: the coffee residues appear dry, almost like pressed. Although sometimes these things can be a few days begins not equal to what can become moldy. In the Delonghi it flourished against Los equal.
Otherwise, the operation is simple: With the thumbwheel of coffee (coffee, espresso, espresso coffee strong and double) and choose a print you go. Incidentally, you can request two cups with most types of coffee by double-equal. Unlike as with other machines we also milled here twice and scalded and not simply produced only a "prolonged" by just more water is forced through the same amount of ground coffee.
Even Super is the quality of the milk froth. Simply the hose into a container of cold milk and the button for steam press twice (in between leave some time for heat). Then ordered the cup under the machine and a coffee and you've seen how clean the coffee between hot milk and milk froth settles selective.
However, there are deficiencies in serviceability. The pulp container can be drawn only left out, what does it mean to be sufficient space must or the machine must be crazy every time the left of the machine. Next drawback is the water tank, which sits behind and needs to be lifted over the machine when you have ran. Annoying when the machine is designed to fit into a shelf. In Delonghi to get comfortably ran from the front of everything. Annoying the power cord is also then that provides for the IEC power connector that the machine does not press comes against the wall ran. And evil is with us to all the outlet above the machine that makes the occasional use of the water tank for a trapped power cable. And ultimately, the indicator is on frothers difficult to read (hot milk or milk foam). So you have to go get close properly.
But as I said, in essence makes the machine really good coffee. When I see how the Delonghis with identical inner life as my old Magnifica here with nearly 5 stars it comes ... I think the Krups for better than Delonghigeräte, but I can not review the lower to the proper sequence to produce.
