Hello everybody, I have the De Longhi now hunted by since May 2011, and quite a few beans. The machine looks High quality and runs so far without problems. The grinder is relatively quiet, only the pump is a bit noisy. Similar to the first generation of the Tassimo. By the setting of 4 different water temperatures you can even choose how hot is to be brewing the coffee. I am also interested that the INDIVIDUAL adjusting the coffee strength and the amount of water on the two knobs, so everyone can easily the perfect coffee strength and cup filling quantity (unlike other manufacturers where you have to adjust something only in programming mode) to adjust. The removable front tank's a good solution if you want to put the machine under the kitchen cabinet. One filling lasts for 6 large cups. The bean container with 200g capacity is large enough. With the milk frother can enjoy a delicious cappuccino spells where I would recommend a machine with milk tank if you drink a lot of cappuccino. The cleaning of the machine is through the removable brewing unit very easily. You can clean everything by hand and do not need the expensive purification tablets saves what money and time.
