I use the Tier 2 default taste (1 to 3) and is perfect
2 cups if I want, I do not use the function as two cups a little heavy (see more not) but I put 2 cups underneath and possibly put a dosage 3
Ergonomics: the good and the very bad
The good:
- Coffee you can stop when you want by making the drive 0 / length potentiometer. Very handy for coffee at desired length, for example to fill a large cup or for 2 small cups of a sudden
- Simple cleaning
- Easy water filling
worst: the management of water !!! and it is a disaster
It is not consumption, but what she has to fait.Il Cleaning ignition, after coffee, to extinction. That sounds good, but you:
- The recovery tank is very, very lousy: very long, very flat. If you wait for the signal that it is full, I hope your sink is at least 1 m, otherwise hello sport. The walls are not high enough and as it is very long, the slightest jolt or devers made a 'coup swell' that reverses everything. The moral: you do not expect it to be full, so you have to empty it every 3 or 4 coffees. It's getting heavy!
- To each cleaning, there 1/4 glass of water that comes out of the nozzles, or the one puts the cup. For example, I programmed extinction after one hour of inactivity. and so in one hour, there will be 1/4 glass of water to be released! So, it is imperative to have * always * a container at this place if you splash it all. Far aesthetic BE !!
(I have a friend who has a model of another brand, it seems he has the same problem as I saw a bowl hang on his coffee. Is there coffee makers without this?)
CONCLUSION:
great coffee but it deserves maintenance term. If M.Melitta reviews the design of the recovery tank, it will already be better. as is, and considering the price, I wonder if coffee pad systems are not better
PS: And thank Melitta refusing me the 50 special coupon for Father's Day sent too late. If I had not returned from the first model due to water leak (internal drain plug missing) I would certainly have been on time
PS2: And congratulations to Amazon for an exchange without any problems
