Professionally, I've a lot to do with customers.
Once the HORECA (hotel-restaurant-catering consultants) and, secondly, as a freelance photographer.
I've already seen many coffee machines in operation or out of operation, so I know the return rate of some brands very well.
Even I've been using for 6 years AEG CaFamosa 2 .. which is adopted more recently, more and more.
The coffee was even at the highest level is no longer really hot, the cups were only half full and much more ...
It needed a new machine, 6 years for the AEG is a good term although at this every six months of the seal had to be changed in the brewing unit, despite regular cleaning and greasing with the repair grease what the package always has by lying. Therefore no new AEG.
Have seen a lot of my customers use what so many have the appliances, since it is precisely small businesses do not have as large coffee run.
When friends were always looked what the use and so are like the experience here.
Jura is used here very rarely, these devices must be returned to clean the brewing unit regularly to service, the self-cleaning m.it tablets is not enough after a certain duration of which is annoying and expensive addition, the devices also do not happen to be low
Saeco is a big name but also a brand devices with quite high repair portion.
Siemens, AEG, Bosch ..... here I did not have time and again some detail or there was too much gimmick on it, but consistently good equipment.
Melitta is known to me as a very good manufacturer of commercial kitchen coffee machines with high reliability and very good service.
This did I not have to use.
Caffeo Bistro II:
+ Simple and easy-to-use
+ 2x 135gr. Coffee bean container and additional compartment for supply of ground coffee
so you can choose 3 coffees. I prefer coffee beans from a private roasting in Hamburg (1x vigorously; 1x special mix) and ground espresso from this roaster.
+ Milchaufschäumquirl - (Heat whorls simultaneously and with steam) extremely well and quickly without splashing
Super easy to clean + Milchaufschäumquirl, turn off and running water rinse, completed, or give in the dishwasher!
+ Heiswasserzufuhr for tea
+ Vorwärmmöglichkeit for cups is really good and effective as long as the machine is in operation, of course, energy-saving feature turns even from this.
+ Sleep mode (and more important at the present time)
+ Very smooth height adjustment for coffee inflow
+ Use of up to 13cm high Latte Macchiato glasses, as well as small espresso cups
+ Rinse at the switching on and off (very hygienic)
+ Easily removable and to clean the brewing unit
+ Self-explanatory icon display for all conditions
+ Water filter is packaged for sale in
+ Water hardness setting fineness of grind, coffee temperature in three steps (87 ° C / 90 ° C / 93 ° C), Sleep Timer, Standby - these are the automatic settings
+ Elegant design, here on one can of course argue
- Quite a large device, nothing for small kitchens
- Coffee inflow unfortunately very difficult to clean, does not take apart, to get ran only with a very fine brush.
- If you like a lot of presets and automatics is out of place, equipment is simple and easy to operate with no frills
