Curiously we particularly liked the cooperation of "Tchibo" and "Saeco" made - two brands that we know all too well and love. What came out in the end this is simply stunning: from design of the capsule machine right down to the colors and the play of colors offered by the coffee machine and thus provides an eye-catcher in the kitchen. The design is ingenious, but kept simple - just like the service that you on some morning determined could wish for: flap, capsule pure, flap, select Brühdruckstufe - done!
Selection can be made between three Brühdruckstufen which should each provide for an optimum espresso, cafe creme or filter coffee. Of course, there are now more varieties than those enumerated three piece, which is on the package, however, pointed out the perfect Brühdruckstufe. These three stages have a dedicated button located above the machine next to the on-off switch each.
It has now so the removable water tank filled with a volume of 700 ml of water, the enjoyment can also come already - but very quickly: it takes about 45 seconds, until the water is brought to a pleasant "serving temperature" with which one is true that still can burn the tongue, but just not too hot. The second cup of coffee when it is cooked immediately after the first cup, no longer takes until the water is brought to the required temperature. Of course you can see the machine with the above-mentioned button on and off, but it should nevertheless happen that you forget it, the machine switches off after about nine minutes of itself. Have we tested and it works beautifully.
Whether now Espresso, Café Creme, coffee, tea, cocoa, etc .: it tastes! Of course you can not compare with fully automatic coffee machines is when the beans are still fresh, and then served drinks directly, but it tastes very good and you can live with it. We have not noticed significant differences in contrast to the T-discs, but I would prefer this capsule machine - also due to the prices of the capsules, unlike the T-discs.
