Now I have the last few days and am MiniMe far fairly satisfied. Although there are criticisms, but they are somewhat attributable to the system itself and not the device. Because there is so far nothing to complain about. The housing is made of plastic, as well as other kitchen utensils are made of this material. Although MiniMe is something like the new Dolce Gusto Billi prospers, all look very sophisticated: The magnetic capsule holder, the shelf that can be mounted at different heights and is stuck in the holder; Nothing wobbles, and also use the passes without any problems. The design is already used to, ever so many Dolce Gusto machines have a strange idiom. But quite as inclined as ducks form of Melody I do not find the MiniMe, this should probably be modeled on a robot, but reminds me more like a penguin. The 0.6 ml water tank is integrated into the sensual round shape of the device and can be easily removed and put back. As dosage knob, this machine has no "scroll wheel" like the other models, but a dosage slide, with the selected amount of water can comprehend and tactile.
So much for the device. But now to the system that already brings a significant minus of comfort with yourself, if you come from the Nespresso ago. It begins with the fact that you can not just throw in the capsule, but cumbersome remove the holder and must push down the locking lever at fairly stiff capsule holder inserted again. After the brewing process is, as I have read it many times before, the capsule actually still full of fluid and I have to watch it possible to transport without dripping into the garbage. I had tried to pierce the capsule with a fork and let the liquid run out, but either are my forks to blunt or I do not have enough power, because the plastic cover of the way fairly large capsule can pierce not so simple. Once I had done it, but because the broth was just trickled out of the capsule. As a consequence, this means that I am doing the full filled capsule just in the waste - so it should not be, however, the plastic caps are actually intended for the yellow bag and recycling. Especially with the dairy beverages which is a real nuisance, because just milk residue collected in the garbage quickly to smell musty - yes, the experience I already have to do in these days few. In the future I will probably solve it so that I'm doing the capsules daily in the dustbin.
After all, One is compensated by the excellent coffee - I think as a former Nespresso customer;) - and of course the other delicious hot beverages, "Choco Caramel" cocoa with Karamelmilchschaum, and also the Chococino were real highlights for me - a pity that just is not the time. Also Chai Latte and more recently mint tea there for Dolce Gusto. The Eisteesorten available not irritate me so much as to get well really cheaper if you just buy a bottle of iced tea. And the comfort you need as make no concessions.
So who can befriend a whole by Dolce Gusto system, gets the MiniMe an inexpensive machine with "Flow-Stop" in Penguin design that makes nevertheless a high-quality impression. After all, even the more expensive devices 'Circolo', 'Melody', etc. are indeed apart from lever and handle of capsule holder made of plastic. And if you prefer to adjust with the mouse wheel or with the slider, the amount of water is a matter of taste.
