Futura Espresso Maker

I bought a different model from Klarstein a few months ago and was so impressed I wanted another for a different property, but it had sold out. This one was more expensive, but also has more power. It is not quite as easy to use as the other model although seems to be improving with use: the coffee 'sieve' didn't seem to fit very well in the holder at first, and it was a struggle to twist the holder into the machine, but this does now seem to have eased. Otherwise, it takes very little time to get ready to pour your coffee, and makes very good espresso with excellent crema (I use a very fine ground espresso coffee). It's a bit noisy for about 10-15 seconds, but that's all it takes to push the water through the coffee. Easy to clean, especially if you leave it to cool down before removing the coffee holder. Don't forget to wipe up inside the machine where the holder goes as some grains inevitably get left there. It takes up little worktop space and looks very elegant. I haven't made use of the frother as I don't really like milky coffee, but if it works like the other model, it should froth well - just use a large container as it froths up a lot!

La machine fait le boulot mais pas de pièces de rechange. Si le filtre se bouche ,pas de solution. le chauffe tasse n 'est même pas tiède.

The machine does the job but no spare parts. If the filter becomes clogged, there is no solution. the cup warmer is not even lukewarm.

Buona macchina espresso con una pressione sufficiente per ottenere un caffè cremoso, comoda per le piccole dimensioni però a discapito del poggiatazze molto piccolo perciò scomodo se utilizzate due tazze da cappuccino. Infine per innestare la leva bisogna tenere ferma la macchina con l'altra mano altrimenti si sposta ma anche questo suppongo sia un difetto assai diffuso visto l'uso abbondante di plastiche che oramai fanno tutti i produttori e perciò il peso bassissimo dell'oggetto , per la durata nel tempo vedremo per il momento, dopo 5 mesi circa, funziona bene. Consigliata in considerazione del prezzo di circa 150 euro.

Good espresso machine with enough pressure to obtain a creamy coffee, convenient for its small size but at the expense of the very small cup holder therefore uncomfortable if you use two cappuccino cups. Finally to engage the lever you have to hold the machine still with the other hand otherwise it moves but I also suppose this is a very common defect given the abundant use of plastics that all manufacturers now make and therefore the very low weight of the object, for the duration over time we will see for the moment, after about 5 months, it works well. Recommended considering the price of about 150 euros.

Buon prodotto e assistenza eccezionale, anche a distanza di tempo.

Good product and exceptional assistance, even after a long time.

Molto bello elegante e fa un ottimo caffe

Very nice, elegant and makes excellent coffee

I brought this machine to replace my old broken one. It's a good machine and makes great coffee. Easy to use instructions and comes well packaged. Easy to use controls and looks very stylish on my work surface. Easy to clean.

Elegant looking and easy to keep clean. Makes excellent espresso or cappucino. Reheat time could be a little faster but on my own not an issue.From switch on no more than 30 seconds. First one I got had a fault but customer service exemplary and replacement perfect.

Excellent but the coffee holder handle is very stiff to turn . Makes nice coffee

I bought this machine to replace my decade old, Bialetti Moka Elettrika. I'm no hipster barista coffee snob but I really loved the espressos I drank when I worked in Italy. I wanted to buy a coffee machine that gets close to the memories of that taste. The Klarstein Futura does the job fine if you press the single cup button (modified to pour out a fluid amount of 60 ml) and fill the 2 cup basket with espresso ground aribica coffee for a rich and powerful doppio espresso. The machine heats up very quickly and prepares the coffee within a few seconds a perfect "nocciola" coloured crema is floating on top every time. The milk frother is very efficient for cappuccino too. However there are two minor problems I have encountered with this machine: 1. The tamper/spoon part is very flimsy, and the diameter is too small to be effective. 2 You can't whack out used coffee pucks from the portafilter - the inserts will always fall out first so you have to scrape out the coffee manually with a spoon or .something. Overall I'm satisfied by this purchase and the coffee it makes.

Macchina da caffè futura,mi è piaciuto il sistema con il quale si utilizza un sifone nel portafiltro per cui il caffè deve risalire nel filtro, mentre non mi è piaciuto La temperatura perché un pó troppo bassa, sui 7/8 gradi in meno,in questo modo, oltre al disagio di un caffè semifreddo l’aroma del caffè non viene completamente sfruttato. Per il resto la macchina è esteticamente bellissima, e per quanto riguarda il vapore è davvero eccezionale, monta il latte in modo straordinario e anche i cappuccini vengono bene.

Future coffee machine, I liked the system with which a siphon is used in the filter holder so the coffee must rise up into the filter, while I did not like the temperature because it is a little too low, about 7/8 degrees less, in this way, in addition to the discomfort of a semi-cold coffee, the aroma of the coffee is not fully exploited. For the rest, the machine is aesthetically beautiful, and as for the steam it is truly exceptional, it froths the milk in an extraordinary way and even the cappuccinos come out well.

Mi è piaciuto il Caffè il cappuccino devo ancora provarlo

I liked the coffee, I still have to try the cappuccino

il caffè non è proprio caldissimo, a meno che di non fare un "pre-riscaldo" senza polvere e poi fare il caffè

the coffee is not really very hot, unless you do a "pre-heating" without powder and then make the coffee

My machine arrived before the due date and was extremely well packed. Customer service are polite and friendly which is good to know. The machine is very solid and looks very smart in my kitchen. So far so good in making coffee which (unlike other machines), is nice and hot. A good milk frother too! All in all I would highly recommend this coffee machine and indeed highly recommend you purchase from Klarstein. So pleased I found them.......

La macchina è arrivata nel tempo previsto. Le istruzioni sono in tedesco e inglese comunque funziona come la precedente che avevo di altra marca. Il colore non è rosso ma un rosa acceso. Al momento funziona perfettamente e appare molto solida. È tedesca. Speriamo nella durata nel tempo...

The machine arrived on time. The instructions are in German and English, however it works like the previous one I had of another brand. The color is not red but a bright pink. At the moment it works perfectly and seems very solid. It is German. Let's hope it lasts over time...

The machine looks very good on the counter with a blue LED when switched on. Makes great coffee with a good crema everytime. It is basically semi automatic so you can press a button once you have loaded the coffee up and walk away and it will make a shot and stop once the correct volume shot is made. The milk frother works really well, better than the last two machines i have had. Now I am making good volume froth with tight firm bubbles every time. Small counter footprint with a good volume water tank

Belle cafetière qui chauffe le lait ou l'eau et qui fait d'autre part un vrai express.

Beautiful coffee maker that heats milk or water and also makes a real espresso.

Il prodotto è buono ma non fa al nostro caso.

The product is good but not for us.

Genau das was ich erwartet habe, top!

Exactly what I expected, great!

Nice unit

Ottimo Caffè,cremoso e all'altezza delle aspettative,lo consiglio a tutti gli amanti del caffè, è proprio come al bar

Excellent coffee, creamy and up to expectations, I recommend it to all coffee lovers, it's just like at the bar

Schnelle Lieferung, gut verpackt , das Disign hat mir gefallen. Heizt schnell auf. Leider hat es nicht meine Vorstellungen erfüllt, deswegen Retour, die Abwicklung ging schnell und ohne Komplikationen.

Fast delivery, well packaged, I liked the design. Heats up quickly. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations, so I returned it, the transaction went quickly and without complications.

It was a good decision!

It was a good decision!

Verhältnis Design, Qualität und Preis stimmt. Kundendienst ist super.

The relationship between design, quality and price is right. Customer service is great.

Schnelle, zuverlässige Lieferung. Die Maschine sieht stylisch aus und der Espresso ist sehr lecker.

Fast, reliable delivery. The machine looks stylish and the espresso is delicious.

Sehr schicke handliche Maschine. Nimmt nicht viel Platz und macht echt was her. Die Maschine ist schnell betriebsbereit. Sie ist mit einer Zweitassen-Automatik und einer Aufschäumdüse ausgestattet. Funktioniert alles tadellos. Bei mehreren Personen ist es sinnvoller, zunächst die jeweiligen Espressi aufbrühen zu lassen und erst dann die Milch aufzuschäumen. Sonst braucht es länger, bis wieder genügend Dampf vorhanden ist. Ein separater Tamper ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Very chic handy machine. Doesn't take up much space and really looks good. The machine is quickly ready for operation. It is equipped with a two-cup automatic and a frothing nozzle. Everything works perfectly. If there are several people, it makes more sense to let the respective espressi brew first and only then froth the milk. Otherwise it will take longer until there is enough steam again. A separate tamper is definitely recommended.

Toller Espresso, gute Anschaffung!

Great espresso, good buy!

Kompakt , sehr zufrieden

Compact , very satisfied

Schnelle Lieferung. Gute Verarbeitung und ein Qualitatives Gerät. Allerdings lässt sich die Siebhalterung sehr schwer ein-und ausrasten. Benötige richtig viel Kraft um die Halterung zu lösen. Sonst einfache Bedienung.

Fast delivery. Good workmanship and a quality device. However, the screen holder is very difficult to snap in and out. It takes a lot of force to loosen the bracket. Otherwise easy to use.

Una macchina solida, elegante e soprattutto un caffè più buono di quello del bar. Unica pecca...se così si può dire...il braccetto è un po' duro quando si deve estrarre...ma probabilmente probabilmente deve essere così per tenere bene la pressione

A solid, elegant machine and above all a better coffee than the one in the bar. The only flaw...if I may say so...the arm is a bit hard when you have to extract it...but probably it has to be like this to keep the pressure well

alles sehr gut

everything is very good

Nach drei DeLonghi, die sich alle mit defekter Pumpe verabschiedet haben, sollte es eine andere Espressomaschine sein: diese. Sie kam schnell und zweckmäßig verpackt. Sie ist nicht rot wie auf dem Bild, sondern kupfer. Mir gefällt das. Die Bedienung erfolgt mittels Drucktaster mit echtem Druckpunkt. Der Siebträger macht keinen übertrieben wertigen Eindruck, aber geht so. Er ist schwer einzusetzen, aber es geht. Der Espresso, der schmeckt nicht. Jetzt habe ich schon den feinsten Mahlgrad eingestellt und drücke das Kaffeemehl gut fest, was ich bei den DeLonghi nicht getan habe. Jetzt stimmt wenigstens die Crema. Derzeit experimentiere ich mit verschiedenen Espressosorten.

After three DeLonghi, who all said goodbye with a defective pump, it should be another espresso machine: this one. It came quickly and suitably packaged. It is not red like in the picture, but copper. I like that. It is operated using a push button with a real pressure point. The portafilter does not make an exaggerated impression, but it works. It's difficult to use, but it works. The espresso doesn't taste good. Now I have already set the finest grind and press the ground coffee well, which I didn't do with the DeLonghi. At least the crema is right now. I am currently experimenting with different types of espresso.

Lo stile e il fatto che è una macchina che lavora a 20 bar Meglio col caffè macinato. Con le cialde non viene bene.

The style and the fact that it is a machine that works at 20 bar Better with ground coffee. With pods it does not come out well.

Prima ho acquistato un modello non più in produzione della stessa casa che perdeva acqua dal serbatoio. Restituito in garanzia e sostituito con questa macchina più costosa. La differenza mi è stata resa sotto forma di rimborso. Attenzione per il cliente davvero notevole nelle varie fasi del reso. Caffè eccellente con giusta macinatura.

First I bought a discontinued model from the same company that leaked water from the tank. Returned under warranty and replaced with this more expensive machine. The difference was returned to me in the form of a refund. Really remarkable customer care in the various stages of the return. Excellent coffee with the right grind.

Sind absolut zufrieden. Hochwertige Verarbeitung, schöne Optik. Leicht zu reinigen, großer Wassertank. Espresso schmeckt super. Temperatur gut, kann direkt getrunken werden. Einziges „Manko“ ist, dass der Siebträger schwer ein- und aus zu setzen geht. Braucht man etwas Kraft und muss die Maschine gut festhalten.

Are absolutely satisfied. High-quality workmanship, beautiful appearance. Easy to clean, large water tank. Espresso tastes great. Temperature good, can be drunk directly. The only "shortcoming" is that the portafilter is difficult to put in and out. If you need some strength and have to hold the machine tightly.

Leichte Handhabung erzeugt hier ein tolles Ergebnis. Habe die Klarstein jetzt einen Monat und noch keine negativen Erfahrungen gemacht.

Easy handling produces a great result here. I've had the Klarstein for a month now and haven't had any negative experiences yet.

Jamais déçu par cette marque

Never disappointed by this brand

This is a very nic espresso machine e. With its 20 bar pressure it makes a fantastic espresso with a really thick cream. The milk frothy does a food job making a nice foth for lattes and cappuccino. Thoroughly recommended.

It is simple, easy to use, and makes good coffee. The machine is pretty stable and not noisy. The milk frother is rather short so you need to bring the glass of milk really close, but that's not a big deal.

Schöne, leistungsstarke Espressomaschine. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Beautiful, powerful espresso machine. I'm very satisfied.

Tolle Maschine für einsteiger

Great machine for beginners

Eigentlich nicht schlecht Aber die Handhabung ist etwas "anstrengend" ich finde es schwer den Kaffee einhändig in die Maschine zu machen...

Actually not bad But the handling is a bit "exhausting" I find it difficult to make the coffee in the machine with one hand...

Dieses kleine Maschienchen macht einen geschmackvollen Espresso mmmhhh. Crema Super

This little machine makes a tasty espresso mmmhhh. Cream great

superbe machine expresso. l'alu se nettoie très facilement. Le café est bon avec une petite mousse dessus. Les tasses posées sur le dessus sont bien chaudes. Petit b mol pas de notice en Français bien enlever le bouchon rouge sous le réservoir sinon elle se vide sur le plan de travail. Le changement de porte café 1 tasse ou 2 tasse est hyper difficile a enlever. Avec le couteau à beurre plus de problème. Je pense que ceci est du au fait qu'elle est neuve. A voir dans le temps. Mais plusieurs electro de cette marque et jamais déçue à ce jour

superb espresso machine. Aluminum cleans very easily. The coffee is good with a little foam on it. The cups placed on top are very hot. Small b mol no instructions in French remove the red cap under the tank otherwise it empties on the work surface. Changing the 1 cup or 2 cup coffee holder is extremely difficult to remove. No more problems with the butter knife. I think this is because it is new. To see over time. But several electro from this brand and never disappointed to date

I can see other brands like Sage or swan and other machine that look same. I had read their products and list 15 psi pressure. It outstanding and excellent coffee pressure Espresso. The product is from Berlin and had arrived in 4 working day not include Sunday. 5 day total. I’m great full with coffee and right bean had my day. I save 5 pound for going Cafe. Big result, Good researching. save the plastic and paper environment. Time to go green ages…

Le goût de l'expresso est vraiment très bon.

The taste of the espresso is really good.

Teetrinker bauen eine Espressomaschine, vielleicht ist sie deshalb recht gut. Es ist kein Riesenküchengerät und es gibt sie mal nicht nur in schwarz, sondern auch in anderen Farben. Die Funktion ist minimalistisch und deshalb einwandfrei. Richtige Taster und keine Folienmimik. Sie macht einen sehr guten Espresso, man sollte aber nicht glauben, daß jeder Kaffee in jeder Espressomaschine gleich gut schmeckt. Der mitgelieferte Portionierer/Tamper ist für die Katz' da er riesen Portionen macht. Die Machart ist jedenfalls äusserlich von sehr guter Metallqualität. Eine Augenweide. Der Siebträger geht momentan noch sehr schwer zu verriegeln, dies ist dem hohen Wasserdruck geschuldet, welchem die Dichtung wiederstehen muß. 20 bar, wenn's stimmt! Das Maschinchen muß man da halt festhalten, man kann nicht zierlich bauen und zu gleich zentnerschwer sein. Mir taugt die Maschine weil's Design und die Qualität stimmt.

Tea drinkers build an espresso machine, so maybe that's why it's quite good. It's not a giant kitchen appliance and it's not only available in black, but also in other colors. The function is minimalist and therefore impeccable. Correct buttons and no foil mimicry. It makes a very good espresso, but you shouldn't think that every coffee in every espresso machine tastes the same. The included scoop/tamper is for naught because it makes huge portions. In any case, the design is externally of very good metal quality. A feast for the eyes. The portafilter is currently still very difficult to lock, this is due to the high water pressure, which the seal has to withstand. 20 bar, if that's true! You just have to hold on to the little machine, you can't build delicate and weigh a hundred at the same time. I like the machine because the design and the quality are right.

Habe meinem Freund diese Espressomaschine zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Er liebt Kaffee und ist sehr zufrieden. Natürlich ist immer Luft nach oben für den perfekten Kaffee ;-) Aber diese Maschine macht ihren Job auf jeden Fall. Lecker.

I gave this espresso machine to my boyfriend for his birthday. He loves coffee and is very satisfied. Of course there is always room for improvement for the perfect coffee ;-) But this machine definitely does its job. Yummy.

Bella macchina, abbinamento di acciaio lucido e satinato azzeccato. La quantità di caffè in tazza è regolabile. La temperatura, invece, è fissa e troppo bassa; anche lasciando la macchina accesa per 10 minuti il caffè esce poco più che tiepido. Una soluzione è scaldare la tazzina con un'erogazione "a vuoto", senza caffè, che migliora la situazione. Pulizia semplice, rumorosità simile ad altre macchine provate. Acquisto comunque consigliabile per il rapporto qualità prezzo.

Beautiful machine, a perfect combination of polished and satin steel. The amount of coffee in the cup is adjustable. The temperature, however, is fixed and too low; even leaving the machine on for 10 minutes the coffee comes out little more than lukewarm. One solution is to heat the cup with an "empty" delivery, without coffee, which improves the situation. Easy cleaning, similar noise to other machines tested. Purchase recommended in any case for the quality/price ratio.

Il corriere pretendeva di lasciare la macchina non so dove, asserendo di non trovare il parcheggio, la consegna è stata fatta da altro corriere il giorno dopo. La scatola esterna risultava danneggiata ma l'imballo a più strati ha protetto la scatola originale del prodotto. La macchina da un ottimo caffè, inserire il braccino inizialmente è un po' duro, ma con l'uso diventa più agevole. Secondo noi fa un caffè superiore a quello del bar.

The courier wanted to leave the car somewhere, claiming he couldn't find a parking space. The delivery was made by another courier the next day. The outer box was damaged but the multi-layered packaging protected the original product box. The machine makes excellent coffee. Inserting the arm is initially a bit hard, but with use it becomes easier. In our opinion, it makes better coffee than the one you get at the bar.

Bella da vedere , compatta, necessita di un po' di pratica x inserire l asta del caffe'.Utile la possibilita di scegliere la quantita' di caffe' da erogare.Non adatta a persone anziane.Avevo segnalato la presenza di gocce d ' acqua all ' arrivo.Mai ricevuto riscontro della mia segnalazione.

Nice to look at, compact, requires a little practice to insert the coffee rod. Useful the possibility of choosing the quantity of coffee to dispense. Not suitable for elderly people. I had reported the presence of drops of water on arrival. Never received a response to my report.

Si può dire sia quasi il clone tedesco della delonghi EC680 e successive. Più o meno stesse dimensioni, arriva in un imballo a regola d'arte. In effetti l'ho acquistata proprio per sostituire tale macchina dopo 9 anni di onorato servizio. Spero questa tedesca sia altrettanto longeva. Per il momento posso dire che "sforna" espressi buonissimi, cremosi e intensi. Un pelino superiori a quelli della delonghi, forse merito della maggiore pressione di esercizio, o forse per la maggiore quantità di caffè nei filtri più capienti. Analoga la funzione per memorizzare l'erogazione del caffè della lunghezza preferita. Quello che manca é un "reminder" quando necessaria la decalcificazione. Poco male, ma bisogna ricordarsi di farla per mantenere la macchina efficiente. Il produttore suggerisce la decalcificazione ogni 80 erogazioni (con acqua poco dura). Manuale di istruzioni solo in tedesco e inglese; per me non é un problema, ma lo ritengo un aspetto negativo. Finiture molto buone (forse un pelino inferiori alla delonghi). Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Spero di poter confermare quanto scritto anche tra qualche anno.

You could say it's almost the German clone of the Delonghi EC680 and later. More or less the same size, it comes in a perfect package. In fact, I bought it to replace that machine after 9 years of honorable service. I hope this German one will last just as long. For the moment I can say that it "churns out" very good, creamy and intense espressos. A little better than the Delonghi ones, perhaps due to the higher operating pressure, or perhaps due to the greater quantity of coffee in the larger filters. The function to memorize the coffee delivery of the preferred length is similar. What is missing is a "reminder" when descaling is necessary. Not a big deal, but you have to remember to do it to keep the machine efficient. The manufacturer suggests descaling every 80 deliveries (with slightly hard water). Instruction manual only in German and English; for me it's not a problem, but I consider it a negative aspect. Very good finishing (perhaps a little inferior to the Delonghi). Excellent value for money. I hope to be able to confirm what I wrote in a few years.

Bellissima esteticamente e tutta d acciaio(satinato nelle zone più facilmente rigabili) Caffè ottimo! (Ho provato più marche,e la crema rimane in tutte) Cappuccino bello cremoso come al bar Al momento non posso che dare 5 stelle(più che meritate!!) Cordiale anche l assistenza clienti,che ha risposto subito alle mie domande. Spero solo di riuscire a trovare i ricambi quando ce ne sarà bisogno..per ora sono felicissima.

Beautiful aesthetically and all steel (satin in the most easily scratched areas) Excellent coffee! (I have tried several brands, and the cream remains in all of them) Beautiful creamy cappuccino like at the bar At the moment I can only give 5 stars (more than deserved!!) Also friendly customer service, which immediately answered my questions. I only hope to be able to find spare parts when needed..for now I am very happy.

Emballé avec soin, l'appareil sorti de sa boite semble solide (en métal), utilisation facile et dispense un café serré comme certains l'aiment. Un prix vraiment abordable, d'autres modèles peuvent grimper à plus de deux cents euros pour le même résultat. Une étoile en moins car pas de mode d'emploi en français mais si vous maitrisez l'allemand ou l'anglais...Vous n'aurez pas de soucis.

Packaged with care, the device out of its box seems solid (made of metal), easy to use and delivers a strong coffee that some people like. A really affordable price, other models can cost more than two hundred euros for the same result. One star less because there are no instructions in French, but if you speak German or English... You won't have any problems.

Aggiornamento: dopo 2 anni e 10 mesi ha iniziato a lampeggiare (tutti i tasti) anche da spenta, si accende con fatica (bisogna premere 3 o 4 volte). Ho fatto una decalficazione lasciando il liquido decalcificante per 15 minuti, come consigliato dai prodotti di questo genere. Ora è tornata a funzionare bene. Ma ancora lampeggia il segnale di "decalcificare" dopo soli 2 giorni che l'ho fatta! Mi raccomando: decalcificare sempre quando lo richiede, altrimenti smette di funzionare! Macchina da caffé, compatta e silenziosa. La uso solo con il caffé macinato. Si scalda rapidamente, ha una pressione adeguata, fa un caffé cremoso e saporito anche con caffé macinato da supermercato (provato con Coop Arabica 100%). Si spegne da sola dopo 30 minuti. Ha lunghezza del caffé singolo e doppio regolabile (ma si può fermare quando si vuole). Abbastanza facile da pulire: un po' faticoso estrarre il filtro da 1 o da 2 per il lavaggio, ma niente di complicato. Quando necessita di decalcificazione lampeggiano tutti i tasti insieme. Non ha l'assistenza in Italia, per cui in caso di riparazione potrebbero esserci tempi lunghi. Scaduta la garanzia non danno più consigli, dicono di arrangiarsi con un riparatore locale. Dopo 1 mese sono molto soddisfatto.

Update: after 2 years and 10 months it started flashing (all buttons) even when off, it turns on with difficulty (you have to press 3 or 4 times). I descaled it by leaving the descaling liquid for 15 minutes, as recommended by products of this type. Now it has started working well again. But the "descale" sign is still flashing after only 2 days that I did it! Remember: always descale when it requires it, otherwise it stops working! Compact and silent coffee machine. I only use it with ground coffee. It heats up quickly, has adequate pressure, makes a creamy and tasty coffee even with ground coffee from the supermarket (tried with Coop Arabica 100%). It turns off by itself after 30 minutes. It has adjustable single and double coffee length (but you can stop it whenever you want). Fairly easy to clean: a little tiring to remove the 1 or 2 filter for washing, but nothing complicated. When it needs descaling, all the buttons flash together. It does not have assistance in Italy, so in case of repair it could take a long time. Once the warranty expires, they no longer give advice, they say to get by with a local repairer. After 1 month I am very satisfied.

Machine parfaite pour aller dans une petite cuisine, le design est cool. Le temps de chauffe de la machine est assez rapide, donc juste quelques secondes d'attente avant le premier café du matin. Le réservoir pour l'eau est assez grand donc pas besoin de la re remplir tout le temps! Très contente de mon achat!

Perfect machine to go in a small kitchen, the design is cool. The machine's heat-up time is quite quick, so just a few seconds of waiting before the first coffee of the morning. The water tank is large enough so no need to refill it all the time! Very happy with my purchase!

Ich habe mich nach einem sehr langen Entscheidungsweg nun endlich für eine Siebträger-Kaffeemaschine entschieden. Ich war immer zufrieden mit dem Kaffee aus den Pad-Maschinen, aber hatte immer das Gefühl, dass am Kaffeegeschmack etwas fehlte. Mit der Klarstein Siebträger Espresso/Kaffeemaschine habe ich nun glaube ich das gefunden wonach ich gesucht habe. Der Kaffee (egal ob Espresso oder Latte Macchiato) schmecken sehr sehr lecker. Die Maschine lässt sich einfach und intuitiv bedienen. Das Einzige, was mich daran hindert 5 Sterne zu geben, sind der aus meiner Sicht kleine Wassertank (Das Problem hat aber fast jede Maschine meiner Meinung nach) und die Lieferzeit war etwas lang. Trotzdem top Produkt! Zaubert echt leckeren Kaffee!

After a very long decision-making process, I have finally decided on a portafilter coffee machine. I've always been happy with the coffee from the pod machines, but always felt that the taste of the coffee was lacking. With the Klarstein portafilter espresso/coffee machine, I think I've found what I was looking for. The coffee (whether espresso or latte macchiato) tasted very delicious. The machine is easy and intuitive to operate. The only thing that prevents me from giving 5 stars is the small water tank from my point of view (almost every machine has this problem in my opinion) and the delivery time was a bit long. Nevertheless great product! Makes really delicious coffee!
