Mispurchase
Pro
- Makes coffee (at least that)
Contra
- Makes many problems
- Unit jams many times
- Poor documentation on problem solving
- Display promises more than it really offers
- Drip tray often full - lots of leaking water
Fine coffee
Does what it must, fine coffee. Very easy to use and really good coffee enjoyment, that's what I wanted and that's what I got.
Pro
- Grinder
- Easy to clean
- Good coffee taste
- Easy to use
Contra
- Drip tray must be emptied frequently
Super price performance ratio
Super machine that prepares ingenious coffee experiences. We have every day joy of the machine and the lattes. The drip tray is more often to empty, because the machine rinses after each coffee. But the brewing unit is always clean. Once a week we rinse the brewing unit and throw the other parts in the dishwasher. The type of coffee is crucial for a delicious coffee.
Pro
- Many coffee variations
- Milk froth like from a barista
- Easy to clean
- Very quiet
- Rinses everything after each use
- Large water tank incl. filter
- Large bean compartment
- Powder compartment for alternative coffees, e.g. decaffeinated
Contra
- No storable user profiles
- "Only" 3 steps grinder

Overall good with some minor flaws
I am not sure whether this is only my machine or all of those have the issue of releasing water with the first drops of coffee. Makes the coffee in return taste a little bit watery, hence I try to place the cup once the first drops are out.
Pro
- water tank large enough
- easy to maintain
- menu
- choice of available products
Contra
- a little loud
- the first drops of coffee products are basically water
- cleaning set (tabs) only for one round
Mostly Good
Pro
- Makes a great coffee
- Very flexible settings
Contra
- Slow to pour
- Drip tray fills very quickly

Good machine, annoying maintenance
Actually a good device, runs reliably, looks good. Unfortunately, very often messages come to necessary cleaning programs, if you ignore them too long the device is locked until you have done the cleaning.
Pro
- Good coffee
- Nice machine
Contra
- Frequent messages about cleaning and descaling
- Device locks if you do not make the cleaning / descaling.
Coffee vending machine
This is my 2nd fully automatic coffee machine of this model.
The first one did its job for 3.5 years and then water was constantly standing under the machine and the brewing unit could no longer be removed, although the machine was completely cleaned every week. (max. 20 brews per week).Pro
- -Several coffee variants are possible.
- - Easy to handle
Finger off
Pro
- Nothing
Contra
- Breaks down after 3 years at the latest
- Googles brewing unit stuck
- Throw mine in the bin after 2.5 years of average use, rep out of warranty 450 Fr
