Super Espresso, "weaknesses" must always be assessed in itself

I had an AEG before 100 Crema, where
- The coffee never got hot,
- The cappuccino foam never properly fixed
- The crema was available, but probably only a fake (it must not compress the coffee in the filter, otherwise the part is leaking and the water is forced past the part on screen)
- But the price / performance ratio was acceptable (about 90)

The machine was now getting old -> search for a new one with the following requirements:
- Real espresso flavor with real Crema
- Hot Coffee
- Good cappuccino foam
- Not much more expensive (limit 150), as we drink coffee only on weekends

EC 330S ordered on reviews only partly trusts ("when the cups fall off, then right stop using sieve ..."), built on and as he was the pandemonium. The disappointment was great, but I persevered. Lo and behold, as soon as the machine had completely pulled out of water, it was just a little louder than my old machine! Overall ok

Then the second, often identified point of criticism: the vibration. The pump of the EC330 S is really strong, clearly shaking that thing. Lightweight Hiking cups actually on the grid. By contrast, hold helps take heavier cups or grid provided with small rubber pads that lift the front slightly (reduced still equal the noise). I hold firmly if necessary (only necessary in the beginning with espresso cups to the first coffee runs).

But what you get for less than 120 euros?
- Insanely great coffee: taste, Crema (Italian pressed powder together is not a problem), ideal temperature
- Gigantic professional cappuccino foam
- Cup warming (for cappuccino preparation really handy)
- Appealing design

Who wants to have the same wiggle in quietly and without perhaps needs to look at more expensive machines. But I have never gotten out of more expensive machines in private homes as a coffee ....
