The appearance of the machine is a matter of taste. Personally, I feel the color than fresh, without being intrusive and find that it fits very well in our kitchen (gray high gloss) and there is a small spot of color. My husband, however, she feels color even when not glaring, but cruel. Perhaps it's more of a girl or women-machine.
Otherwise, the Senseo Viva is basically no different than other Senseo machine also. She makes delicious pad Kaffee.- course depending on the pads used. Any other machine the coffee used is crucial for the Geschmack.- Operation is extremely easy and self-explanatory. Correct practice is of course that all the removable parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Absolute sense is the lime indicator. I belong to the people who those really important things, forget ever. So far I have, however, despite only sporadic decalcification, never had problems with our Senseos. However, the coffee experience after decalcification every time is a little better than just before descaling. The crema is better and also the taste is full.
I give the pretty pad machine full 5 star, although my husband in color eye cancer (quote my husband) gets.
