So, now to the actual product. I have now tried all the recipes, Cafe Latte macchiato, latte and cappuccino.
I am very happy with all three variations. Certainly the cappuccino is not like from a pure cappuccino machine, but that should be obvious to everyone. Here simply lack the pump pressure required.
The milk foam is, however, as has already been described here by other users very good! Although this somewhat quickly coincides despite used cold milk. But here you have to be very clear: We evaluate here a Senseo machine to an the outstanding price and no professional machine that costs many times over!
Macchiato For quick cappuccino, cafe latte or latte, this machine is more than suitable and it tastes really good! Easy you can not have it.
This is a bit bulkier than Senseo traditional Senseo machine in "banana shape", but makes in the kitchen a very good figure! They clearly requires less space than it suggests the product image.
Very nice also the Easy Clean cleaning function. Just then then the press after preparing the hose end in a glass with water, another glass under the spout and "Me" button. Even the hose is flushed. This Quick cleaning is not a substitute for naturally cleaning the milk nozzle and the other parts in the dishwasher or by hand in the sink. It's like saying a quick cleaning, which one - should carry out after preparation of a milk drink - best immediately. The remaining parts one can then do with the normal washing or in the dishwasher with.
Something disadvantageous I find the following points:
- The milk and coffee nozzles are quite far apart. This means in some cups (if they are slightly less in diameter) is it just that finds its way into the cup both me foam and the coffee. Here you would have to precisely position the cup.
- The foam sprayed me from time to time something, here you have then fine speckles on the machine itself.
- The coffee / Mich outlet itself is not height adjustable. Here the cup shelf must be adjusted even in the height (I find somewhat strange successful design, but goes). Had but can definitely solve better.
- I would have still wanted an attachment for a bottle of milk, this "dangling" namely always on the machine and is located on the countertop on. Much better, I would have found it, that you would have on the machine can somehow clipped on so he would not so "flapping around" if you do not need it, the hose end.
- Do you still bring products in piano black finish on the market? I think it's a shame, because the machine is therefore very vulnerable fingerprint and still it can not be avoided that would collect the piano lacquer surface tiny micro-scratches. Because you can be careful as you want, even with microfibre cloths can not avoid this. Much better, I would have found you had opted for a discreet matt black, but oh well.
Although these are some negative points, but these predominate now not in my eyes. Every product is somehow improved. For me, these negative points were now not decisive, not to keep this machine. Especially since I have paid only 50% of the price (hence it is not necessary that question).
All in all, I forgive here 4 points. I really vacillate 4-5 points, but I have to decide. Because of the little things I forgive then again 4 points with a tendency towards full score.
