hello, having had several automatic machines and a lot of disappointments, I finally opt for this percolator which certainly does that coffee (no steam nozzle, no hot water outlet ...), but the do well. My previous experiences with more expensive coffee makers saeco whether or delonghi taught me that the more complicated a machine is more likely it is to fail. the latter is less flashy than its predecessors, it has a naked look even spartan, but is rather a simple and intuitive use. it has the essential settings, namely strength and length of espresso and a choice between 1 or 2 cups. the fineness of the grind will also rule. maintenance (cleaning of the group and the various grounds of receiving elements) is simple and fast less restrictive than the afore-mentioned models. the water tank is easy to remove and put back making some forget its small capacity. emptying the sewage tank was incompatible with Parkinson's disease, I personally suction until the LED is lit, it avoids spilling coffee on the sink path. these details set apart, with a great coffee machine that hangs svelte little space on the worktop relative to the competition. in terms of longevity: that will live ... good espresso at all. cordially.
