!! 1) 1,1L tank (itself measured): One criticism of this Dolce Gusto machine from my side, was the small tank of just 0.6L, but after a long search I found out that this silver variant Amazon has a tank of 1,1L and already this criticism had resolved itself! =) Unfortunately, this is not the same as mentioned in the bullet points. I brought it just about the Dolce Gusto site in experience and when she arrived today, I have measured out equal.
2) VOLUME: Some criticisms concerned the third volume. Personally, I must say that I do not find it loud! Of course, she has a certain volume level due to the pump, but which is absolutely under and I have to make far ;-) not worry about my neighbors. The expensive machine my mom (who also served beans), is much louder and the morning unbearable.
3) Size and color: It has a good size and fits in my small kitchen, which I was also important. The silver is dull, only the Henkel front is glossy.
4) OPERATION: Many also have the image-guidance criticized for supposedly not well understood and poorly made. I can not understand that! I must say, if you start up front and with point 1, you can not go far wrong. Of course, one must first look at the picture carefully before you operate the machine and press START. ;-)
First, make tank full, then use (my tank has dropped at the beginning, but it has so done the same, as I had used it. Now it is no longer dripping during filling!), Then press the lever and make all bars on green, then lever press the left and the machine flushed once with cold water. Then again lever to the right, the machine rinses through with hot water. DONE! This is a matter of 5 minutes. Just great! After that I immediately made coffee and I can only say, "tastes great -!> Next time a little more water, because I do not like it so much."
5) Automatically Shutdown: After 5 minutes, the machine switches off automatically when not in use. I find great. In addition, she also hears from itself to pump water if you have set everything, so I do not need all the time to stand by.
6) XL-Filling: That is that in this setting, a nice big cup (ie 300ml) also gets full. With these machines is often the problem is that they always make only small cups. I drink but almost only large cups.
7) Preview Capsules: there was this also a sample pack of 6 capsules to my positive surprise. I also needed the same since my visit would have a coffee ;-). (1x Expresso, 1x Cafe Crema Grande, 1x Chococino (2 capsules), 1x Latte Macchiato (2 capsules))
WHAT ANY BUYER SHOULD KNOW:
1) 1,1L tank at the silver variant! (Titanium only 0.6L, others)
2) Super easy operation, good image-guidance!
3) Normal volume levels - definitely not too loud !!
4) The water is heated directly when filling the cup - the tank is so cold! (Hot and cold drinks feasible)
5) sampling capsules are in the pack there.
6) capsules cost as compared to pad or other capsule machines quite a lot, but the taste is just good !, also has a huge selection (Thai latte, latte macchiato (Vanilla, Caramel, unkoffeiniert), Expresso, Cafe Crema, Lungo (mild), Dalmeyer, Chococino, iced coffee drinks, hot and cold teas and much more)! (Cheapest I get the packs at Kaufland, approx. 4.49! Even on the Internet, they cost a few cents more, 4.66. (Based on cappuccino)
7) relative much garbage that stinks possibly prolonged time spent in the trash (mostly due to the wet-milk powder).
8) The parents of my friend have an older version of Dolce Gusto, about 3-4 years old, and have been completely satisfied. No Proleme! Of course you can in individual cases sometimes have bad luck.
PS: If something changes over time, then I'll expand or amend my review. Hope I could help you. The machine is so far worth the money!
