Small Unteschiede to its predecessor, but still worked well

For several years I had the (silver gray) predecessor in almost daily use and was always very happy with it. Now the interesting question: Would the successor be exactly the same right? Exhibit improvements? Or perhaps "verschlimmbessert" be?
My first impression of the beautiful bright red machine: equally good. The operation is unchanged; very easy to handle (with three buttons you can really hardly do anything wrong, even if you've never had such a device), fast, not too loud, the coffee tastes just as good as before.

The following deviations from the previous model, I've found:
- The cable is slightly shorter. That's more of a plus for me because I do not need it any longer and had just had no superfluous "loop" on the kitchen counter. But you should know it.
- Now up to the screen, in which you insert the pad, all parts made of plastic (formerly was the space for the cup of metal).
- Only one water tank is included which summarizes 0,7 l. The previous model, a second, much larger tank was supplied, the one when needed as easy as possible to use the rear the standard tank. I keep well - my "old" machine I give to a friend who does not often have visitors like me and rarely more than two cups of coffee needs.
