I had been a manual Essenza office. The switch provides many new features sinvolle. positively - Very fast in the Ready Creates - On heating can already make the decision Lungo / Espresso - No overflow - Indication of insufficient water quantity - Very good standby automatic - Large cups / glasses fit underneath - Easier to clean - Large opening water tank allows for filling the machine - Of very good taste has not suffered
negative - A little more drip is not really bad
I would buy again at any time and consider home to be replaced also my Automatic.
