This device HD 8762 is identical to the HD 8761 to the milk system.
This unit is more expensive and better -> important for Capuccion & Latte Friends
So ........
commissioning:
===================
A word of advice, you should really stubborn to guide process (which could be somewhat more detailed and explanatory, and should not be limited to mere images and steps) -> it has all worked out
the operation:
============
Always rinse with water occurs roughly when turning on and off of the machine in the amount of espresso. If one assumes nothing, everything goes into the drip tray and this is very fast. One can, however, cancel this flushing.
You can adjust the grinding stages on the grinder with a screwdriver / coin. Works quite well. For this, however, the grinder must be empty. So change just once is not so easily possible.
The strength of the coffee can be controlled electronically in 5 steps on a switch. The unit always remembers the last setting. You always have to "click through" the various stages, so can not press Plus or Minus. We work for all coffee beverages with the 3rd stage.
The program Coffee and Expresso differ only in the amount of water that can be programmed
The Cappucino program enabled the good milk frother. -> Attention! You have to press stop here, otherwise the milk runs continuously.
There is also a hot water device for which the same applies.
Frankly, the programming of each variety is somehow something unsatisfactory. According to the manual should be able to program the coffee strength and amount of water, with me it works only with the amount of water. - So here little criticism.
THE COFFEE itself and the frothed milk, and tastes great.
Here I have no criticism but only positives: Expresso / coffee / cappuccino can be to their own taste and excellent cook quickly.
Clean:
========
After a certain number of preparations is in the display the symbol for "receptacle coffee empty". Whether you have the container between cleaned before.
The drip tray for excess water you have to frequently empty, especially when nothing is under the outlet during flushing. For this, however, there is no symbol in the display.
Cleaning and dusting goes but overall easy.
Descaling:
==========
Damn - that was an experience.
Please make sure exactly according to instructions, particularly with regard to the quantities of water. I had not done it, and then were given about 30 minutes from the more than 2 hours because the rinse cycle repeated over and over. (We find this a little hint in the manual).
I am of the opinion that the user-friendly could make.
Actually I wanted to pull the device a star because of this shortcoming, but ultimately decided "for the accused" ..
Résumé:
========
The device provides for a fair price quite a lot.
If you are not the absolute "Coffee & Expresso Crack", you're in good hands here, and with the two quirks can live.
