The machine makes a very good coffee. Sorry, no German instruction was delivered, on the homepage of Easter, I was not able to find. Amazon could not be put in a position a guide available in German, rather the machine is put back. Actually, I wanted to also give back, then I have an identical machine of the manual concerned (this tip I received due to my questions about the machine) and lo and behold, the machine does what it should and that very well. From the pictures you can already derive some, but I prefer to play it safe and read everything exactly. Of course, everything is in English, but I am 70 years old and have never learned English. Although my language skills are sufficient for a trip but not for reading an instruction manual. Due to the value for money I would recommend the machine with a clear conscience. A comparison to other machines I can not do, because this is the first machine of its kind. One point deduction there because the manual does not exist in German.
