This small coffee is just right if you eg. Work-related often times have to change the location or when a certain compactness beneficial general. But also for the typical 1-person household or for seniors it is ideally suited. Requirement that is those people are not much coffee drinkers, because otherwise it is with 0.6 liter cans content a little tight. One must realize that more than 2 medium cups (about 0.3 liters or as they say in Bavaria: "a mug") is just not in it are without which one would be right back to broths. At least makes the small machine a the taste was quite acceptable and hot filter coffee, moreover, it is also quite fast (about 4-5 minutes) and very noisy it is not. Thus, you need not wait long. The hot plate keeps the coffee on the half hour of the automatic shutoff good hot. I for example. I turn the machine (no matter what) always when I get in the morning in the shower. And then, after drying and tightening same time a fresh coffee ready to enjoy cozy before the stress of everyday life starts.
The machine consists of - apart from the glass jug (with lid), the heating plate and the stainless steel cover of the swivel filter (the filter holder is removable and dishwasher safe) - completely out of the typical coffee machines plastic of at this but still slightly thicker fails than usual. The water tank can not be removed and must be filled by jug - which does not at all times Surprised at this small size.
Drip-stop, automatic shut-off after 30 min. and an easy to read level indicator are present (Nowadays eh Standard). In addition, a simple A - / - off switch and a 1 meter cable. The state of the machine - spread over 6 feet - is stable and surprisingly non-slip
All around, although not great coffee, but by far not a bad and at the price - / - performance possible you can not complain. Therefore 4 stars.
