This is my first coffee machine, so I can not compare, but just saying what I like or not. I am far Senseo Kaffeepadtrinkerin. The size of the machine I find fully okay, because so much space does my Senseo also, here I would have expected more, so the size fits ever good in my kitchen. This is the power switch on the back of the back, I do not like quite so, because I like to push the device to the wall, but ok, we put a little in the middle, so goes. When I read the first time the manual, I thought oh man that you know never and you'll never come to a coffee. But if you then it turns on the coffee machine with book, it is quite simple and much is also self-explanatory. One just needs to survive this program only the first time and it all goes Ruck Zuck. The machine itself is very well made and makes a stable impression. The keys must be pressed a little odd, you hear nothing and feels no real resistance, I am only sure that I had it down properly, even if the coffee is doing what. The adjustment of the strength of flavor and saving, their own quantity of coffee is easy and works well. The grinding noise is quite loud, but maybe you feel that even so, if you so not one type of machine knows, but I do not feel as disturbing. The coffee runs through very slowly, but it is also really hot. And it smells immediately so deliciously of coffee, that's really nice and wakes up the anticipation. The coffee tastes very good, so you can calm down times offer guests a cup. That with the frothing milk also works very well, you only have quite a lot of milk loss, eh, the milk is really sparkling. It must still somehow a different solution give or I have not quite understood the technique. What surprised me a bit is that when you switch the machine off and turn-ons, still out first to the rinse water and runs out, I had nowhere where read, so I was out running the water a little surprised. But now I've just always a collecting cup at a location nearby, so no problem, if you know what happens. Cleaning the coffee machine is done quickly and easily. I am very satisfied, the coffee is delicious, the operation is simple. A highly recommended coffee
