Very satisfactory if it were not were a thing

+ Looks chic
+ Since built up, the machine on the ground is more compact than the Senseos. Marginally higher than other pad machines
+ Easy to clean
+ Now for 3 years in daily use, no dropouts or other (but was always on time decalcified)
+ Replaceable activated carbon water filter. Have to try a little sand in the water reservoir in past pure. Everything is collected in the cup and nothing remains from dirt. In any case, an argument against the competition.
+ The water tank with 1.8 liters is correct "g'scheit".
+ Easy to learn and operate
+ All parts are dishwasher safe.
+ Coffee tastes marginally better than the Senseos (may also have been wrong, because everyone has a different taste)

0 head height not adjustable, but is sufficient for tall glasses grad still sufficient. Problemastisch espresso cups are then since the fall of the first drops not everything stays in there but injected facilitated. Here you should hold the cup up very briefly, after that it's no longer an issue.
0 water filters are a bit cheap and long lasting (about 12 for 4 pieces, exchange after 5-6 months), these are spare parts and Originalentkalker schweineteuer (Descaler 750ml ca 15 in the store, descaling every 3-4 weeks overdue)
Although 0 piano lacquer looks beautiful, after 3 years but flips the paint and shines generally no longer as before. I love that but nothing of that machine is to make coffee and that is not poses at an exhibition

- 2 STARS deduction due to the outrageously poor processing. The machine is indeed robust and nothing is broken or ähnliches.ABER:
-man have to be careful in the drawer with 2 pads. You have to place the pads with surgical precision the exact center. Not doing so, caught the shit regulator or is slightly stiff. And if you overlook the latter, then the drawer is leaking and the coffee runs from 4-5 holes out, and in the cup remains about 20% of the set amount.
Very annoying when you are in a hurry.
-In The drawer with a pad touches the pad occasionally the upper edge of the drawer opening. This is usually not a big deal, just pull out and reinsert the center with increased fine motor skills. If you previously performs the operation some researchers, then a hole is drilled in the pad and has a pigsty in the opening and an unusable Pad
-The Knob was probably inserted wrong during installation. When turning namely stands out a half (ca 15mm), similar to a wrong inserted bolt when screwing.

Generally I see that WMF since 4-5 years has in its products a much worse processing and quality, which earlier this is not the case. The 80 mixer rod, its engine for 2 (in words two !,) days gave up the ghost. The 50 Toaster whose plastic odor itself over creeps on the toasts. The 100 crusher whose disks are after 1 month either be bent or even unusable chipped !!! Related Links: coffee is for 6 months in the office kitchen, but still works properly. Unfortunately, this will be my last WMF device. For a coffee maker of the upper middle class, I find the process simply unacceptable
