Very user-friendly machine with ingenious price / performance ratio

If you can do without the entire fashion-milk mixtures and is ready with the knobs of Cappucino of toggle bar, then the machine has a downright sensational price / performance ratio. As the new, greatly improved Milchschaumdüse and quieter grinder are already installed.
And for well below 600 euros! (Bought in December 2014 around 537 Euro at digitalversand.de under the Christmas discount promotion)
Main reason for choosing this machine was the simple and clear operation (latte macchiato, cappuccino, caffe latte) with only a clear stand-out button for milk coffee - no Winzschrift, not "a thousand" keys, no Fizzelmenus. Easy on the controller once set the milk / foam consistency and just press the button. Done. If you then yet again what needs in the Menu: Genial the "I-Drive" -artigeBedienung with the rotary / push knob.
And the bad reviews because of cold coffee at Amazon I can not understand. Even in the middle setting of coffee with or without milk is so hot that you burn your lips. For some details it is worthwhile to read the operating instructions. For example, the Vorwärmfeld for keys is in Energisparmodus never really warm, since the quick heating is moved back to save energy and thus produces little waste heat. For cappuccino drinkers no problem: As long as the milk container is inserted, the heating remains "under steam". Espresso drinkers rinse hold the flush button (yes, that's still a hot key and not selected in the hidden !!) the cups in front of the reference shortly before.

Summary: An extremely compact, sensationally affordable one-button milk (foam) -Coffee with everything the ("normal") Milchkaffeeetrinker need. No Spirenzchen, but super easy to use and hygienic to clean (sideways!) Removable brewing unit.
Perfect for the target group "Ü50" to which I of course already belong. Fleissige SMS Schreiber, Apper and touchscreen fetishists see may be slightly different ;-) and access to over 200 Euro more expensive Eletta where they Menu and buttons Moderately romp full and can prepare the latest hip Milchmixkaffees.

To each his Plaisirchen ...

Addendum after approximately 2 months of use:
Still everything was great!
Quiet operation, easy to clean, descaling works fine.
Important in daily Cappucino-operation are three things:
1) milk for the cappuccino-making quickly in the refrigerator (self-evident)
2) even let through (rotary switch to the right) before turning off the machine, the milk foamer cleaning program
3) Wipe After "cleaning up" the milk container the milk container connection on the device with the two green seals moist so there stick no milk residues.
The only annoying point: The extra-thin silicone milk tube in Cappucinatore. If you forget it once to put the milk after breakfast back in the refrigerator, the curdled milk is very difficult to remove from this hose. The only solution here is a super thin mini brush from the dealer or from a Dult.
The coffee tastes better and the milk froth when Cappuccino is much finer and creamier than the previous model.
We continue to be very satisfied with the machine.
