The ESAM 3200 I am so far very satisfied. Easy to use, hot coffee, incredibly quiet, great crema, stable milk foam ... and delicious coffee is also.
Water and coffee quantity and the freeness are infinitely adjustable and cover a wide range to suit all tastes. Thanks to the additional operation with ground coffee, we can also use up our ground espresso and to try other varieties parallel.
Compared to my previous machine, the water vapor is quickly ready for operation and cooling down to go back to make coffee, goes very quickly when you discharges via the steam wand a little water.
Water and coffee bean container are big enough for two people. (We drink about 6 Cappucino day). Empty the grounds container every 2-3 days, I find ok.
Is very great, that the cycle of Entkalkungsautomatik be adapted to the hardness of the water. Nothing more annoying than ever to play service fee for the machine. Cleaning is easy. The brewing unit under water rinse and possibly suck or wipe all Refit finished, the machine with a vacuum cleaner.
The manual is written clearly and include deals with a lot of contingencies.
As far as the machine can be nothing to be desired.
Is to be seen whether any quirks adjust over time. I count it, as I as yet had no machine without. This will show how the service works and how easy to use the machine really is. I'm curious.
