Very happy with my purchase I read comments emphasizing use of coffee and high water in my case I do not think, in fact I bought this espresso due to pump problems on a machine of another brand sold on the site even machine that had been exchanged after the blocked me coffee block, so I turned to the Melitta solo and I confess that although having no steam nozzle, the machine is very good construction, Just as the maintenance is very easy compared to the Ph .... ps .... Its o. The interview is signaled with LEDs (tank of water and coffee, scaling, filling water tank etc ....) which is perfect for when one is a little head in the air, it help. Unlike the first machine, there is no need to disassemble the machine in its entirety every week and more there is very little waste coffee in coffee block (the one that makes the coffee tablet). Anyway I hesitated to remprendre this type of machine because scalded cat fears cold water, but that really I do not regret my purchase, you can adjust the coffee grind, if you want a tight or long coffee, the amount of coffee into his cup, coffee nozzles are adjustable in height, filling is done by a tray at the rear of the machine but can remove the tray without the need to extract it in its full height, machine can therefore be placed underneath a shelf without problem. In short I highly recommend this machine, for I have yet no complaints. If problem I will modify my review
