Strong unit at a great price

Have longer looking for a coffee machine that prepares a good hot coffee even at short notice and with little effort. So far I have always brewed by hand. I then came across the pod machines that indeed all work fairly quickly and easily. With the variety I was first flat. But since we do not have additional capsule garbage (which are also very expensive) wanted to produce, could we then but already some sort. (Eg Tassimo: Big coffee variety, but very expensive and T-discs = residual waste; Tchibo Caffissimo: Very tasty coffee, but much Alumüll) Eliminated is also the Philips Senseo, because the coffee not brew me hot enough and net compared so well tastes like from Petra.

Pro:
-Easy Handling (the trouble beforehand times the user to read (narrow issue) worth)
-Super Crema, even with discount Pads (have not tried all the providers, Penny quite ok)
-Milchschaum Succeed super (am very puzzled by the a review, which has not worked, maybe used the wrong milk? Have the impression-fat milk foam not quite as good. We have just over 3.5% and was a great solid milk foam, also on the sugar will remain longer and is not collapsed even after half an hour !! Otherwise maybe wars really a Monday machine.)
-Lobenswert The continuous adjustment of the amount of coffee (also applies to milk froth quantity and hot water)
-Heißwasserfunktion Top, need this several times a day for a cup of tea and have my kettle packed right away.
-Good To clean, the milk foam unit consists of only 4 parts and is without big effort to get clean. One should not wait too long since dried milk residues can be annoying but anyway.
-Tank Is easy to remove and fill. The lack of water level indicator does not bother us, because it is visually indicated with red Blinkllicht almost empty tank.
-Coffee Tastes really good, you just have something rumtüfteln with the amount of water until you find your personal touch. Us, for example a pad on a small cup is too strong.
-the supplied pad cartridge for their own coffee or espresso powder jumps also a time when the pad's are assumed
-Very Well I also find "Made in Germany"

Cons:
-Also, As with competing products, glasses about 11 cm no go :-( that is also the most latte glasses do not fit under it. A pity.

Otherwise I can to disadvantages (in my opinion) say nothing: Only to the criticized already by appeared reviewers "not a good espresso" etc. I wanted but add that in the product description none of stand that you buy an espresso machine here, but To use only the hint of espresso powder.
For pure espresso drinker I find the Petra KM 42.17 rather unsuitable.

Visually, I find it really ok, there are also funnier / more beautiful machines, but for NEN good coffee then mostly reichts not.

All in all a great all-rounder with no frills and recommended.
