The coffee machine works and looks beautiful. However, quality is not the usual German. Why: The pot can be only with both hands out of the housing pull. It depends on the intake valve on the pot - this locks and prevents easy operation. The pot has a leak in the upper part - the transition from Metal to plastic. From the isolation of the pot I would have expected more, after about 3 hours is the coffee lukewarm. The instruction manual did not cover itself when you first turn with reality - I thought the K-machine was broken. Very annoying: the pouring of coffee is just a little Trickle out of the pot. The coffee had the good combination of thermos and Timer. Unfortunately, just the quality is not satisfactory.
