Disadvantages: 1. on / off button at the bottom right (automatic off / on saves, you do not need to constantly reach for it) 2. To see the volume of water in the tank, you need to look behind the coffee maker .... why they did not make the indicator of the remaining water - a riddle (helps out a large volume of the water tank) 3. It is not possible to simultaneously prepare two cups of cappuccino or latte, only espresso (as it is written in the instructions), but you will not prepare an espresso either, since two cups simply do not become ... very small platform. having to hold the second cup with your hand. 4. The instructions say that the time between making coffee is 5 minutes (we prepare one by one))) 5. There is no anti-drip system 6. Loud supply of milk foam through the pinscher (tolerable, despite the fact that this process is noisy for all machines) 7. Lack of a tray for storage of a spoon and an additional nozzle 8. The place for warming cups has a plastic coating ribbed / wave, there is a fear that over time the plastic will rub and lose its aesthetic appearance (I will order on the CNC to cut out a stainless steel overlay from the pattern)the lining for the base under the glasses are made of aluminum and are easily scratched (again, CNC and stainless steel will help out) 10.It is difficult to choose glasses in size and volume, since the declared volume in the instructions does not correspond to reality (the volume of the drink is the same, but due to the abundant milk foam, the volume A single portion cappuccino barely fits into a 500ml glass, but a double portion requires a 700-800ml glass. very voluminous foam is obtained. Manual mode saves. Height from stand to horn 120mm, but from the second stand to horn 80mm and pick up glasses for the required volume and height with abundant foam is almost impossible (you need to look for).

Comment: I got it as a present for my wife for the New Year (she loves cappuccino, and my son loves latte). After reading the instructions, only 3 pages, the assembly took 1.5 minutes, the process of the first start and rinsing was 3 minutes, after 5 minutes the finished cappuccino which pleased us very much (despite the fact that the coffee was ground jockey in Turkish, and the milk was selected from butter and cinnamon ground). He fulfills all the declared functions and promises for 5+ The wife easily prepares any coffee. Easy and quick to clean, the horn and removable parts are dishwasher safe. The house has a pleasant aroma of coffee. I can assure everyone that coffee tastes and looks no worse, and with a certain skill and ingredients even better than at McDonald's or CFS. The most delicious espresso I've had and the froth is very beautiful. Our recipe: put ground coffee to the maximum mark and ground cinnamon to taste in a cone for a double portion, prepare a double espresso and, in manual mode, make a froth about 3-4 cm, sugar 1 spoon. I would not believe any review without trying this machine (and, in vain) the foam from this device is very strong and even, the beauty is off the charts. Anyone can make awesome coffee. Even the cheapest Jockey coffee in this coffee maker is better than real elite Dominican coffee made in a Turk ... believe me, this machine squeezes out the maximum aroma from any coffee. Happy shopping to everyone.

Advantages: Price. Cappuccino maker. Auto mode. High temperature of the finished beverage.

Disadvantages: It takes a long time to warm up.

Comment: I have been using the device since March 1, 2014, that is, for almost half a year. I was looking for a model with a cappuccino function. For this money, this is the only normal option with a good rating. Before buying, I read the negative reviews, and I can say that most of them are very far-fetched. The taste of coffee is excellent (now I save on buying this drink in a cafe), before going out, I just pour it into a tube or a disposable glass and take it with me. There is no aftertaste of plastic and it is generally not clear where it comes from. The material of the filter handle is quite normal and will not break if you do not screw it in with a hangover without controlling your strength))) I personally, after some feedback, pay attention to the effort and the handle promises to serve faithfully for a long time. Regarding the volume of drinks, there are sometimes problems - overflows. I did not sit with a measuring glass and did not measure it out, but I picked up the right mugs at home, which correspond to the volume of specific drinks. Sometimes there are overflows if the milk is from the refrigerator and froth well. Pasteurized pour 2.5% buttermilk, and long-playing parmalat. In my opinion, the device has the only significant drawback - it takes a long time to warm up. I always turn on the cleaning mode before and after making drinks and sometimes in the morning it bothers me to wait for 5 minutes (2-3 minutes before cleaning and 2 minutes after cleaning) to prepare a drink. If you do not clean it before and after, then sometimes the cappuccinator will mow down for me, it may just subside for a few seconds while whipping milk, and then it will start working again. And there was one more jamb: when I put the cappuccinator by holding it by the container with water, it can move from the groove into which it enters and water can flow. I didn’t notice once and the whole kitchen floor was in water, now I hold it by the platform on which the mugs should be heated. At the moment, I am completely satisfied with the device and I hope that it will live a long time with proper care.In conclusion, a photo of a large latte: http://s020.radikal.ru/i713/1403/17/0d589c91ade0.jpg

Advantages: Simple and easy-to-use There is self-cleaning, the rest can be easily removed and washed Makes a large and thick foam In the set there is a "ramming spoon" - I don't know how to do it correctly

Disadvantages: There are no shortcomings for its cost, but I will write that I am missing, maybe someone will want to pay extra and buy another, a class higher with these functions: 1. There are no warnings and a low water level, and the tank is in the back of the car, you may not notice , I do not know how long the pump will last to drive the air. 2. The same problem when you put the cappuccino maker on cleaning, and then forget to remove it and turn it on for cooking. Also lacks some kind of "protection from fools". 3. Short cord

Comment: Again, for my money, this is an ideal option. The disadvantages are described from the point of view of everyday use, I would still buy it, I'm not ready to overpay because of them, it's better to adjust myself :) I can't write about the reliability, I use it for about a week, if I don't forget, I'll add a review in a couple of months. Bottom line: if all the functions suit you - take it, the best in your segment. ==== A little more than half a year has passed, the device is working, there were no emergency situations in its operation, I am satisfied)

Advantages: Prepares delicious espresso, latte, cappuccino.

Disadvantages: has not revealed yet.

Comment: I bought this unit recently, less than a week, and I liked it. I used Merol ME-709 before. Basically I was satisfied, the coffee was delicious, like in Jura. The same coffee maker, although it costs much less, does coffee just as well, if not better. It is bitter and black in color, hot, and quite aromatic. In my opinion, coffee should be just like that. The procedure for making coffee is the simplest, easier even than in a geyser. They poured coffee into the horn, put it in the coffee maker, pressed the expresso button. The whole process has started. Cappuccino and latte are also prepared. As for milk, I took the most ordinary powder, I think so, a house in the village 2.5%. Well, manufacturers recommend adhering to these boundaries, in terms of fat content, you can, for example, 3.2%. The main thing is that the milk is natural, but as for me, the device will cope with any. The only inconvenience is that you have to strain more when making coffee. It annoys that she is carob. Because it means that the coffee is one-time use. Then you have to do everything from the beginning. Namely, wash the filter, throw out the used coffee, add a new one. There are 2 different filters for this. One is deeper, the other, on the contrary, is less deep, this was done for making 2 cups of coffee, as I understood immediately. But to be honest, I have no idea how to do this, since there is not enough space for this. In principle, you can remove the cappuccino maker and put a second cup in its place, in general, this is a difficult task in my opinion. I also drew attention to the fact that if you make coffee with a deeper filter, the coffee turns out to be stronger, probably because of the size of the portion of the coffee itself. Now about the cappuccino. I liked it. The machine first pours milk, then a strong expresso and covers it all with a froth that really looks like froth. The device itself is not so loud, I would call it even quiet, since any coffee machine is loud. In general, I was satisfied with the purchase. What I expected was what I got. I wrote about this for you.

Advantages: With its functionality, the price. Workmanship.

Disadvantages: Have not found.

Comment: I chose for a long time, I took into account the reviews right up to the pain in my eyes. Before that there was BORK, died naturally. And I sold the capsule Nescafe, it was expensive and I sold the taste of coffee, like in vending machines.The taste of coffee is excellent, I tried ground coffee and ground the beans themselves, it turns out tastier from the beans. Before use, be sure to read the instructions, there are certain subtleties. Espresso is prepared in three dosages, cappuccino in two, latte in two, for a large portion you need a mug larger than a standard one. Remember to clean after milk. Milk is better to take more than 3.2, the foam is thicker, and generally ecstasy from melted milk. It does not leak anywhere and is not very noisy. I advise you sincerely.

Advantages: For this price, there are no other machines with an automatic cappuccino maker. Makes dense foam even from 1.5% milk. Assembly-disassembly-cleaning is the simplest, takes 20 seconds. Read complaints about plastic smell. I have no smell.

Disadvantages: From time to time, he pours a different amount of liquid. Therefore, it cannot be called a complete automatic, you still need to stand nearby and be ready to turn off the milk or coffee.

Comment: There are several things to adapt to. Since before buying a coffee maker, I brewed espresso only a couple of times at a party, I realized that the profession of a barista did not come from a breeze)) At first, I got bitter coffee. I went online, read it - I found out that I pour a lot of coffee and press it too hard in the horn. I put a little less and just straightened it out - the coffee became rich and not at all bitter. As I said, 1.5% milk makes a huge foam. Subtracted that foam does not depend on fat content, but on protein. Although, of course, protein is also removed when fat is removed from milk. But the fact remains - 1.5% milk just froths into the densest and highest foam. Oddly enough, Jockey classic coffee is also very decent. Lavazza, of course, is slightly "sharper" and more interesting, but also 4 times more expensive. In general, you need to adapt to any car.

Advantages: Nice appearance, There is the necessary: ​​espresso, cappuccino and latte. Whether a large volume or a small volume, you can control the size of the foam)) Its own cleaning system. Large water tank. A big mug comes in! And for the little ones - there is a retractable stand. Heats up pretty quickly, great for two cups. Easy to clean.

Disadvantages: No significant shortcomings have yet been found. A little frightened at first by the sharp noise when the coffee machine makes foam. Now we are used to it. For me personally, the volume of espresso is too small))) I always make 2 large portions (I like it stronger)))

Comment: We bought it in the office, we use it every day. No complaints. We figured it out quickly, the instructions are clear. At first they did not understand why it was buzzing, but did not pour, then we realized that it was just heating the water)) Once a large latte (or cappuccino) was poured into a large mug and a large amount of foam was chosen. And the milk was fresh ... In general, there was a lot of foam =) In general, it is a very useful thing, it makes coffee well and quickly.

Advantages: Makes good coffee. The foam is also good.

Disadvantages: Noisy. Crumbs and dust accumulate on the grooved surface on top of the appliance.

Comment: Quite a good unit. For those who love coffee, I can only recommend it. I, on the other hand, regretted a little about the purchase, after all, a capsule, for me personally, would fit better. Not to reproach this model, which, for my money, I think is excellent. The reason is the preparation and disassembly time of the machine. Namely, to make coffee with froth, proceed as follows: 1. Switch on the machine. It warms up for 3 minutes, at this time you can do other things 2.Pour in water (performed about once a week) 3. Insert the capsule into the cone 4. Pour coffee into it 5. Brush off excess (these two points can cause spilled coffee on the table, floor and other surfaces. Again, not a reproach to this unit , but in capsule versions, there is no such problem 6. Insert the cone into the machine itself 7. Open the cappuccino maker 8. Pour milk there (if you make coffee often, you can leave it in the refrigerator, if not, wash it after each time and then pour in new milk .Otherwise it will sour) 9. Close the cappuccino maker and insert into the machine 10. Select the desired type of coffee and portion 11. Enjoy delicious coffee 12. Put the empty cup back on the base in its place 13. Switch on the cleaning mode! (The instructions say to do it after each brewing session This mode cleans the channels through which water and milk are supplied. Quite noisy process 14. Take out the cappuccino maker and put it in the refrigerator 15. Remove the horn 16. Remove the capsule of the horn - thoroughly wash the capsule lu and horn 17. Turn off the machine This sequence, although time-consuming, should not apply to the disadvantages of the coffee machine. For those who love good coffee and know how to distinguish it from coffee in capsules, this is a compromise that must be made. I’m most likely looking for a capsule machine.

Advantages: The coffee makes an excellent, automatic cappuccinatore - also beyond praise, much more convenient than a manual one. Auto shutdown is a very useful thing, especially for absent-minded people.

Comment: Of course, this is a one-man model. Preparing, for example, a latte for three people is a whole story. When the last participant of the event just gets his cup of drink, the first one will either run out of coffee or cool down. But we bought it with such an eye, in fact, so there are no complaints.

Advantages: Price-quality combination Automatic capichunator Easy to operate Beautiful design Excellent cappuccino and latte

Disadvantages: Slightly noisy when whipping milk foam

Comment: Previously, I could not stand coffee from the Turkish - it seemed to me bitter and tasteless. And then the wife wanted a coffee maker - so he gave her for the holiday. After the first turn on, we figured out how to make cappuccino and latte without any problems. After several months of operation, I can only say one thing - this coffee maker simply has no shortcomings. Maybe there are petty ones if you find fault, but they are more than compensated by its advantages. The main advantage is the automatic cappuccino maker. I quickly fell in love with the delicious cappuccino and latte - especially sprinkled with a pinch of cinnamon. There is such a feature about milk - more fluffy foam is obtained from fresher milk (which is very logical) and when the milk container is more than half full. Maybe in Russia there are problems with milk and it does not froth, but from Belarusian milk there is always an excellent result - the froth is always fluffy and dense - I always eat with a spoon. By the speed of switching on - espresso can be prepared about 30 seconds after switching on, to make latte and cappuccino you need to wait about another minute. I have nothing to compare with, but I think this is a pretty good result. It makes noise only when milk is frothing - but this is understandable due to the release of steam, noise is created. To summarize - for those who love latte and cappuccino, this is just an excellent option! There are simply no analogues of this coffee machine in this price category (expensive coffee machines from a different price category)! Who is thinking about buying or not - definitely buy and enjoy every day with a cup of good latte ...Here's one: http://s017.radikal.ru/i423/1306/68/464e5207f331.jpg
