Beautiful but poorly conceived design.

• Part stainless steel
• Less noisy
• Easy operation with 2 buttons
• Loose drip tray

Philips allowed to test the device but returned it after a few days. It's a nice device but with a poorly conceived design. That starts with the drip tray which is placed separately in front of the device. Why not a click system? The plate is made of shiny steel that already has scratches after a few days, why not brushed stainless steel? Then the operation, which is simple with only two buttons. Unfortunately, the device switches off automatically after brewing (energy saving), but inconvenient if you want to brew several cups in succession. Yes and then the biggest downside; the small water container. This is empty after 4 to 5 cups and difficult to put back (don't fill it above Max otherwise a water ballet). Even if it is in a corner of the counter, it is difficult to see how much water is left in it. Can prevent it from cutting off halfway through making a cup of coffee because you have to top up with water. There are also advantages, it is slightly quieter than previous models. Make a good cup of Senseo with an excellent crema and quite hot. Yet we stick to the quadrante, which we think is still the best Senseo.

Nice device with extra functions

• Setting options
• Saving personal settings
• Easy to use
• So much noise/vibration

Nice device with nice extra functions. Setting the desired coffee yourself, the 3 positions on which the coffee can be made and the ease of use are certainly plus points. There are a few points for improvement: - The base of the drip tray cannot be removed, making it difficult to put a bowl under when flushing. - When rinsing, the scale vibrates away from the device - some water remains in the pod holder after rinsing. (Then still drips when the lid is opened) -Not only during rinsing, also after brewing coffee
