Good product, more pros than cons.

As with most coffee machines, it is possible that the first cup, after switching on, may not be hot enough. This is partly solved by increasing the water temperature. Initially worth 2 out of 4.
It is noticed that an increase in temperature has a fruitful effect on the quality of frothed milk. But the quality of the milk has a big impact. Milk producer and fat content is selected empirically. I think it is advisable to purchase a cappuccinatore separately.
Due to the high cost of branded water filters (~ 1000r), I consider it appropriate, after the expiration date of the built-in one, to use a jug-filter for water purification.

Pros

Good design. Fairly quiet operation (judging by the video reviews, I expected the pump to work much louder). Easy coffee strength adjustment with front panel knob It is difficult to judge the quality of coffee (in taste and color .), it is quite rich and deep. I bribed that the teapot of this design is even in expensive ecam models. Large water tank. Taking into account the warming up of the water at the start, the rinsing at the shutdown and the discharge of water when using the cappuccinatore, the volume of 1.8 liters is very much to the point. Water filter included.

Cons

There is a slight spillage of coffee inside the machine, but the manufacturer carefully foresaw this and extended the tray to collect water. Coffee gets into it and spills are shaken out when the water tray is emptied. There is no knob for adjusting the amount of water (like in esam 2600), sometimes you want to adjust the size for a specific cup. But I think it's a matter of habit. In the first month of operation, when first turned on, an exclamation mark lit up, symbolizing the pollution of the mechanism. The teapot has stopped in the down position. Restarting solved the problem. As far as I understand, the millstones in the threshing machine are not ceramic. I would like a little more foam in a large cup.
