Our 11-year-old "Jura Impressa 95" was so slow on their minds .... a new machine was due. It's not just here on the Internet to find a "up to date". Various makes and brands to compare them ... I spent the whole Christmas holidays so that for us (my wife and me) to find best that meets our expectations:
- good quality
- Wide range of options (different drinks)
- easy handling
- High quality
- Noble design (ornament for the kitchen)
- 1000 - Budget (ca)
- Removable brewing unit
- (Gadgets ... yes I admit, I like one-touch, flashing buttons, etc)
After much research and reading a variety of testimonials and reviews I (we) then found what
we are looking for: MELITTA BARISTA T black in noble piano lacquer style.
After we bought this machine yesterday, unpacked, set up, experimented and tried out, there was only one:
PURE EXCITEMENT
The structure of the KVA is easy, all necessary steps are described in detail. Everything is (also the milk container!) .... A welcome kit with cleaning products, brush, water hardness tester, spare tube and much more.
Via a display, one is led ... All settings can be individually set and save test. The predetermined reference switch (espresso, coffee, cappuccino, etc) can be stored on the desired amount of coffee, milk and heat permanently. The grind can be adjusted at will, the power saving mode (similar to the display-out to a cellular phone) can be programmed .... Absolutely everything is adjustable and one is led "foolproof" from the display.
The variety of different options is incredible ... and everything can be stored permanently in the end.
The cleaning programs are guided by the indications in the display. (You can ignore this).
Each component, each switch can be achieved easily.
I honestly do not understand what many have complaint about the short milk tube ... which is perfectly adequate for the supplied (visually beautiful) milk container. (I would but next to no clumsy Tetra-packing centers).
And with all the positives when it comes to coffee quality and technology, we must conclude indeed a factor not ignore ... the optics.
The Barista is a great (to our taste in elegant black) gem that immediately draws all eyes on you :)
We are thrilled definitely, and I honestly can not find a single negative point.
This machine is (for us) absolutely perfect.
