Super coffee with small drawbacks

_______________
Features:
The Circolo comes with a water tank, which is enough for about 7 cups. Behind the water tank a small plastic stylus is hidden, which allows you to clean the water / Kaffeedüse if it is clogged again.
It is also a container for the used capsules thereby. This is indeed thought out, it consists of 2 parts, a container and a sieve, so that the residual liquid to drip into the container. Unfortunately, this is not really appealing designed, so we did not use it, but the capsules cut and tilt the remains into the sink.
There were also two trial packs with several capsules in a box of the machine.
In the Circolo can both hot as well as cold drinks are made of hot and cold, there are several buttons.

Style:
The circular design of the Circolo like it very well, that's a matter of taste red :)
The metal grid on the are the cups, can be adjusted in 3 levels in height. Most cup match so easily under it, only for very large cups, it can be difficult in width.
Funny gimmick is the LED illumination of the cup while the coffee flows :)
The display of the quantity of water looks very nice, and you see the lines slowly fade, the more water has passed through the capsule.

Operation:
The operation of the Circolo is super easy! In the cardboard packaging of the capsules is the order in which the capsules have to run through the machine. For this purpose, you should know that some coffees perhaps - usually the "mixed varieties" as Café Latte and anything with milk - consist of 2 capsules, one for coffee and one for milk.
You put the capsule into the machine and presses down the lever that pierces the water needle in the capsule. Then adjust the control dial, the amount of water that needs to be specifically adjusted for each coffee. Also available in a box of capsules and each capsule. Then press the button for hot water and you're done :)
Since you can adjust the amount of water itself (1-7 strokes), you can also limits the strength of the coffee itself determine by to have a coffee the only 3 strokes for example increased to 5 bars, and so a greater amount of water through the capsule hunts.

The machine is ready for use in less than 3 minutes and works quite quiet. Even the coffee is gone quickly, you have to make coffee for many people, but of course it takes a while before everyone has one. Especially with coffees, which consist of 2 capsules.
____________
Taste:
We found the coffee generally very tasty!
Some varieties, such as the Vanilla Latte Macchiato not taste so much like her "extra" such as vanilla as we would wish.
Our favorite varieties are Choco Chino (also like with Espresso Barista) macchiato, chai latte and Latte.
Cold beverages like iced tea Lipton to we could not even try.

___________
Summary:

+ Compact, stylish design
+ Delicious coffee
+ Running quickly

- Unsightly collection container
- Capsules could have a tab to remove the plastic cover completely can. So you could empty them completely before they are thrown away
- Order the capsules is only available in a box of capsules, not on the capsules themselves
- Coffee with extra flavor are not intense enough for us

We love our Circolo, it's a good, high-quality coffee with thoughtful details, which only has a few minor flaws
