Most important seems to me the clue that the WMF coffee tastes like, as I was used to from the Petras - fantastic. Although Petras were only a very short shelf life, I had to repeatedly buy a Petra, because of the addictive fun. The WMF makes the addiction seem more bearable.
But I will not even pretend that I re EUR 67.98 paid for the WMF January 20, 2013. Today one should shell out more than 150 EUR for it? Well, if it considers 5 years, still a fair price. However, my experiences extend only to 1.5 years.
The operation is quite easy, although the manual is somewhat misleading due to unfortunate symbolism. In particular, the descaling mutates constantly to flying blind. So far, however, it has always worked. Incidentally, assume normal Supermarktentkalker but no Biogelumpe.
My mother gave me, probably because of a longer shelf life, a Philips HD7862 / 20 Senseo Quadrante Birthday. This wandered after a brief and ill-fated Intermezzo back in the box. Although their produced brown soup looked like coffee, but failed at the coffee aroma are missing. Mutti makes again filter coffee. I am ashamed today for this gift.
If there is to mention something negative, then the fact that the cover of the water tank, without attachment to the water tank, only loosely on top of it is placed. This would have almost led to the cover would be gone on the first day of use behind the kitchen cupboard, irretrievably lost. Property there such a big gap. Whoever does not have such a large gap, because its floor is straight, does not have to worry in this regard.
With pleasure I also use the separate hot water tap for tea. Although the WMF maintains relatively tight, always drop a few drops of coffee with in the teacup. The taste of tea is thus not noticeably tarnished, but it seems a bit unhygienic to. Coffee Allergy must stop watch something.
Have fun with the WMF 5!
