Conclusion: very satisfied after 3 months
On receiving the package:
I thought, I get a machine that has been returned to Amazon already times. The box was delivered pecks only with a cheap plastic adhesive tape strips. I had already filled out the form for sending back's and was on the verge submit it - because I'm short search on the Internet, look at pictures of other people that they had bought -> which saw the very exactly! So keep machine yet.
In comparison to other equipment:
- Coffee tastes incredibly good and I drink it black without exception! Compared to a Saeco around 350 euros, which was always filled only with Illy, worlds difference. The Saeco coffee I grab only enough milk and even then it tastes slightly stale. To say nothing of a Hofer (Aldi) machine.
- Coffee grounds in the discard box does not start to get moldy but dries out !!! (In a Saeco to 350 euros it starts getting in there to become moldy, just like a machine of Hofer (Aldi)) So even if you take forgets to empty, not bad at all! No pesky fruit flies ..
- Remains of containers are also _halbwegs_ large (leftovers container was never once full - only the drip pan is fast times, since after every coffee and after each flush pure water flows there - this one should have reasonably steady hands, since one pours otherwise easily) but it has its limits / is acceptable to me ...
- Cleaning very, very easy! What have I read anything other machines - here you can easily take the brewing unit (1 part) out under running water, clean. Then clean the inside of the machine with Wettex and ready.
- Many times I've read, the grinder should be very noisy - I think not. First, is as noisy as comparable machines. Secondly - probably purely subjective - now I love the sound.
General:
- Very good coffee
- The electronics, sensors and buttons seem to be OK so all. Only the on-off switch can sometimes wait until he does - I think you can not immediately after a coffee has been made, or flushing was placed off, but must wait a few seconds - but I'll keep this in mind (seems to me that it's not as if the knob partially not working - but that some other function in the machine that blocked)
- Machine makes a really nice impression
- Attention: metal grid on which one represents Heferl, scratched very very very very very easy !! I always have a Wettex it, to which I then place the Heferl because it really (as described above) very easily scratched (beyond "acceptable signs of wear")
- I can not rate frother (never used)
- Cleaning very easy!
Should this situation change what, I adapt review. But until now, very satisfied!
