Service
The operation of the machine is quite simple and also for preparing coffee instead of powder may be used. That was one of the reasons to buy the machine if I want to use it later in the office or otherwise for me. So far I have pads but not tried in the machine, I prefer self-ground coffee powder, if only because of the smell. A little more work is required for the espresso tastes then almost like I know him from Kaffeevollautomaten ago and Beem machine costs only a fraction of it.
The spoon to fill the screen inserts I find very convenient, making it possible to dispense the powder very well and at the end he has a pusher to push it to properly fixed. I initially had concerns that some could spill over, but so far nothing has happened in this type and the stakes have markings to wherever they max. to be filled with powder.
The water tank has a decent capacity and the machine takes only a short time to heat up. After about 15 minutes it switches off automatically.
Taste
To find out the correct mixture for me, I did some tests needed. Allowing little to adjust on the machine itself, so you have to experiment with the preset buttons and the amount of coffee something. With little cups I do not think of me, I prefer large cup. That's easily by pressing the corresponding coffee button 2x. The double bar is huge and no longer fits in my dedicated glasses, but the water supply can be even during the preparation of a button stop. Bigger latte macchiato glasses to slide under the spout or for cleaning, can be completely remove the drip tray.
The milk foam works well, at the bar M. setting the machine produces but almost too much of it. Temperature settings do not exist, but the coffee is very hot.
Cleaning
However, the milk jug together with cap is dishwasher safe, the water tank and the filter holder Part no. I think that's not so bad, because the filter holder essays must anyway be freed after each brewed coffee from the powder, since they can also be equal to flush properly.
For the milk lines, there is a special cleaning program. However, a descaling missing, depending on the water hardness is by 80-150 brewing operations are decalcified with mild descaling product for coffee machines.
Conclusion
An easy-to-use machine, ideal for (Single) -Kaffeegenießer and Milchschaumschlürfer. Anyone who takes a little time for preparation, is given a very delicious espresso, cappuccino, latte or hot chocolate.
