As usual the Amazon description sorely lacking in detail. There is always the manufacturer's web site.
As a nice surprise we discovered that the coffee maker is programmable! (For against the beep, beeps which as its name suggests, is not really nice)
Also the coffee is kept warm by the electrical system that does not cut immediately after preparation
It should do some testing water volume, amount of coffee to get a result that will suit everyone's taste.
It has nothing to do with espresso, coffee filter texture is obtained but rather with great flavors.
The six Italian cups match 3 small or 2 cups French mugs.
So well over our expectations and our use, easy to use, easy to maintain and fairly compact.
Only flat aluminum body is very hot immediately after use ... normal is metal! (Handle covered with plastic rubberized grip very well heated, unfortunately.
Edict of 16 October 2013:
Here the road well in time. Only the small end up and bakelite is quickly gone, and the inscriptions on the buttons were quickly erased
The ringer is bipbip just awful, but good.
