I bought the version with aluminum front, precisely to avoid the plastic look. (399 euros) in stores (red and black sign to 5 letters) What a disappointment !!! : Malgrès all settings, changed the water, changed the quality of the coffee, the rest -C very bad - Amer acid with an unpleasant mouth persistence. The machine works well. hot coffee. It should probably sagir a design problem that I do not understand. I brought the machine after 5 days at D ... Y to make me say that we would not change me and that remboursserait me even less. Because I'd try the machine! I can not do anything to such a bad time if not to return to my home appliance purchases at D ... Y and so I stop drinking coffee. Happy ?!
