There is no doubt a practical part - optically not necessarily beautiful, but that's more on the design of the Senseo, who sacrificed the capacity of the standard fuel tanks of the line of the machine. Also, the hinged lid and the lower part with the two lateral guides for the "threading" of the connector are better than in the series. But an experience that made me puzzled until early today: filled water tank and put the normal rate. Pressed power button and immediately frantic warning flashing. What's happening? Tank off and back on it - the same result. Tank moved about 2-3 cm back and suddenly normal heating phase. In order for the morning coffee does not fail on my wife's birthday today of all days, I clamp after several unsuccessful inputs and Ausschaltversuchen a crumpled (unused ;-)) tissue between the tank and engine. The coffee is saved. The machine does not notice anything. Pssst! But is not a permanent condition. But the engineer .... The interior of a tank that is very manageable. Diagnosis: the float jammed, a small black portion in the lower right corner. I Hakle after him with a piece of wire and the swimmer swims again. Problem solved! I only write this review, so that no one falls in the morning in unhealthy panic when Philips Senseo degenerates for hazard warning flashers. Supplement a few weeks later: today the famous swimmer was soon back in trouble - but the accumulated knowhow gave him no chance. How aptly but whether his English skills infamous former football star Lothar Frankish M. would formulate: "It was the swimmer - again what learned!"
