Positives:
- Easy Handling
- With a few tricks there no problems
Durable and highly reliable with low maintenance -
- We have very, very hard water! Processes the machine easily.
Negatives:
- Coffee is very very watery since the first cup! This has been largely optimized (see Tricks) was better, but still so "well"
- Problems with out migratory pomace charging, hard removable water tank, rattling cup charging, I can confirm.
- Descaling (if one can talk about something like this at all) is an odyssey!
Tricks:
- Water tank when removing, pull up slightly, then hängts not
- The bottom left corner wipe beautifully clean when you empty the grounds container inside the machine. Somehow lost his way there again ALWAYS pomace. The grounds container must be present to 100% back, however. If there are only a few crumbs no longer hold the charge. If you keep clean there, there's no problem
- In the interior, there (where the load sits pomace) is a small Pastikplättchen which mounted with 3 small Torx screws. screwed from the times! then you know why manchman her even with the best cleaning the pomace loading "Smells"
- Rattling cup load: plastic insert remove, sand lightly to the contact surface with coarse sandpaper and no longer rattle.
- Set the grinding degree principle in the finest (the turn push down otherwise not go). Unless you want to light brown soup - then goes on "gross".
- Cleaning Brühgrupper: At first hours of pennible cleaning ... now: soak in hot water, then from the dishwasher - result TOP
- Descaling:
1) beans empty (before the water tank and pomace take out from the container, otherwise it will be wet :-))
Tilt 2) descaler into the water tank
3) marc charging reintuen
Switch 4) machine
5) Turn the steam nozzle (container underneath) and were until the tank "!" shows
Refill 6) Entkalker
7) coffee press button (water setting maximum)
8) Since the machine would grind anfangt and then off (no beans) briefly open the lid and close again (during the "grinding process")
9) The machine performs "coffee without beans" - this so long repeat until the water tank is empty
10) Repeat steps 2-9, with clear water instead Entkalker
11) Damfknopf pressed until the descaling symbol disappears
Takes a maximum of 5 minutes, and it really is all in the machine again and clean lime-free!
Because you have to be some inventive to operate this machine easily to there only 2 stars:
One star deduction for the "peculiarities"
Two stars because of the deduction actually below average coffee quality. Interestingly, the coffee is better since we no longer abide by the instructions of the cleaning cycles but have found our own way ...
For this, we should actually have a star pull - but for the really good life there is a bonus!
This machine will obviously not be gently touched. :-)
