Very good, fast and reliable machine.

I have gained this machine because I had of the whole capsule coffee enough (costs and waste) and I'm completely satisfied with it. For me, the clear benefits that the coffee from my feeling of taste is significantly better than that of the capsule machine, I just can regulate the amount and I to also save costs and do something for the environment.

This machine is fast, much quieter than my previous Krups Dolce Gusto, the coffee is hot and the absolute advantage is the adjustable timer. Those who prefer to sleep five minutes longer in the morning and buy a capsule machine, because they are usually faster, will be very pleased with the timer. Just set it, the coffee in the evening to prepare (water, filter coffee), activate timer and the next morning happy about it, that there is already right after you come out of the shower, gorgeous smells of coffee.
For this also provides the machine a hotplate (actually more "hot plate") whose timer is set by default to 30 minutes. However, this timer can be up to 4 hours warming phase set (for the real coffee lovers is of course almost a small crime, but they are in any case hardly a filter machine purchase). Here there is only one small drawback, which I believe would be worth but after not even the withdrawal of half a star: the drip-stop. Basically, reliable and practical, but it happens every now and then, but that a drop when removing the pot falls on the hotplate. This burns itself then of course immediately, but when cleaning I had no problems. Once the plate has cooled, it is easily removed when damp. In addition, the drip-stop on the removable filter insert has the advantage that you can promote the use filter direction dustbin so easy to drop without anything.

Another advantage is the removable water tank, which allows an easy cleaning also here. The descaling program is also very practical, short: one could also say that apart from a few keystrokes this coffeemaker does everything automatically. You just have to "say" when. A strong buy recommendation from me, more coffee at this price hardly goes well.
