The decisive factor was not only the price but also the fact that Me Petra filling the milk container after each bar or cafe au lait over the Latte Select spared because the KM has 45 instead of the milk container integrates a milk hose, consisting of each x- any container draws milk!
The KM45 can operate not only with all commercially available pad, but also on normal ground coffee!
The machine makes a good impression processed and looks very classy!
Petra is the Made in Bavaria!
When unpacking the accessories can be found in the water tank of the machine!
-Kaffeefilter (For normal coffee powder)
-Kaffepulverkassette
-1 Round sealing ring!
Here CAUTION! The sealing ring is not included in the round notch on the bottom of the water tank,
but on the powder cartridge for coffee powder (the sealing ring is on only, so he can at
Have solved transport ... easy to use again)
-Druckbehälter (Is placed on the bottom of the water tank)
-Chlorfilter
Additionally there is a descaling agent there and a pack Lavazza Classico
One should read the very readable and illustrated instructions before first use, because the machine
is vented at the first start (easy to use)!
The settings are very versatile and can be applied at will!
You can choose different volume:
Espresso Cup
small cup (my experience -> 1 PAD)
large cup (my experience -> 2 pads, otherwise the drink is too thin)
2 small cups (2 pads)
Jumbo cups (2PADs)
Beverage choice:
hot water, coffee, milk froth, cappuccino, latte macchiato, latte
Once the tank is filled, (close PAD mechanism) the PAD inserted and the choice has been made on size and drink, press the green start button (until the machine has heated up, the Start button on red is ... have a couple of seconds of patience )!
For beverages with milk foam, a container with milk is simply placed next to the machine and the hose put into it!
Taste:
Now to select the pads!
First you should stir every drink again briefly, so that the taste can unfold evenly!
Well, and now it is a matter of taste!
I have a week tried many pads and too much coffee, cappuccino etc drunk :-)
I give my personal impression here again:
--PADs Of LIDL -> Bellarom Cafe Crema 100% Arabica ---> very aromatic and delicious crema
--Tchibo Fine mildness ---> mild flavor but tasty
--Tchibo Cafee Crema -> intense taste and delicious
With the milk froth and the Crema I'm happy and the cappuccino, latte or latte tastes good
at least as well as a drink in the cafe where I leave 3-4 euros!
The drinks are a bit hot when using any cold milk, but the milk a couple
Minutes from the refrigerator takes!
As I said, these reviews are my personal taste! Power yourself and you try out!
After the preparation of a beverage with milk foam should perform the short cleaning program, so that the milk nozzle not stick (quick and easy to use)
Conclusion:
After a few days of trial and error, I have my favorites PAD found and I am very happy with the result!
Only in the case of coffee with the powder cartridge I have to collect my experiences!
I would highly recommend this machine, but you should not expect miracles from the beginning, but only once PADs try different because there are big differences in the taste!
To Petra: absolute buy recommendation and thus *****
