I've bought the machine after the glass jug of the old machine broke. Now it should be a machine with thermos. Since these devices usually are anyway a bit more expensive than comparable devices with normal glass jugs + hotplate you certainly can hardly complain about the price. The device itself looks from the processing is not too high, it is almost all made of plastic. However, all parts fit for purpose and I finally bought the machine for making coffee and not to look at or demonstration. The coffee runs swiftly through (about 8 minutes for a complete pot = about 1 liter). The water tank has but one visible from the outside water level indicator is not removable, which to me, however, does not appear so important for home use. The pot keeps the heat Herrvorragend. The filled with 80 ° C water (1 liter) was after 10 hours still an acceptable drinking temperature of 60 ° C. That's certainly more than I would have expected from a pot in this price range and even more, as can be seen in much more expensive pitchers. The lid of the can can be screwed down before switching on the device. There is a check valve on the lid, can be accomplished by running the coffee in the pot. This is after cooking without immediately removing the jug near optimal insulation guaranteed. If you want to, you can press with your thumb a little switch on the lid pour coffee into the cup, so that even for this the pot must not be screwed. Now for the weaknesses: It mainly affects the lid and the drip-stop. It is recommended to first fill the water and coffee powder, then close them as the lid. This then locks easily and provides the necessary resistance for the Tropfstopppventil under the filter and the valve on the lid of the pot. If you do that, that one pushes the pot to cover the machine again and coffee can not run out of the filter. That's not really a problem, just something to which we must pay attention.
Annoyingly, the problems with the valve in the lid of the pot: After a few weeks there were several overflowing of coffee, because the valve is no longer working properly. This is of course very annoying. After some observation turned out that despite offnenem valve somehow the pressure balance in the pot is no longer working properly and no longer ran for 1-2 minutes due to the resulting pressure of the coffee therefore in the pot, but past the valve in the lid. This of course was just above it. The problem can be solved by holding down the lever with which you can pour coffee usually depressed, so that the pressure can escape at this point. I use this a small "wedge" of paper or similar, I clamp under these levers. As I said, this is quite annoying but how it works after all. The second, smaller, criticism is the spout of the jug. This is unfortunately designed so that it fairly squirts when poured into a cup. For other models from Bomann has solved this by a small "bridge" was installed in the sink, which the liquid can somehow better run out of the spout.
All in all, I find acceptable machine for the price. VLT. you would have to make a few small changes to the spout of the jug, and especially on the valve in the lid. Then the product for this price would be really unbeatable. So I had to clean the kitchen a couple of times, instead of drinking coffee. The "stop-gap" this little wedge it's off but quite good. Ic hwerde keep the machine and live with little complications. As I said, I think the value for money relatively well and give trotzd the quirks three star. A few slight changes and it would have been five.
