Review on Krups Calvi Meca XP 3440, black/silver coffee maker by Agata Zakrzewska ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I bought this miracle for a promotion for 8 thousand, it justifies the price completely, but is not without flaws. The downside is the metal cappuccinatore. Many write that this is good, because when high T is exposed to plastic, it is chemically harmful, it seems to me that this is nonsense, 90 plastic teapots. Everyone is alive and well)) Just do not buy NONAME equipment. I used a Saeco coffee maker before, there was plastic, it was wiped in 5 seconds with a rag. When preparing foam, the iron cappuccinatore heats up so much that, firstly, you can’t touch it with your hands where the metal is (well, at least they provided a plastic overlay), and secondly, the milk that remains on it dries up in a second, you can’t do without soaking in a container with water. According to the instructions, it is written that the limit switch of this device must be unscrewed and washed after use . I'm not sure that someone will do this. By the way, the key is made from a measuring spoon (base). Also included is a cleaning pin. It is necessary if you used finely ground coffee (for example, you yourself grinded "dust", and the hole with the gland of the dispenser cup was clogged). I do not recommend grinding dust, messing around and cleaning for a very long time. About the first run. I draw your attention to the fact that the sound signal that is prescribed in the instructions is just BRR (the sound of turning on the pump). I didn't have it the first time I started it, nothing at all. The light was just constantly flashing. As it turned out, the method of guesswork, due to the air lock between the water tank and the place of its installation. In general, air must be expelled from there by lowering and raising the container. See bubbles. Then the water will fill the necessary capacity in the coffee maker itself and thereby activate the pump. Then I did everything according to the instructions. ATTENTION: you will only hear the sound of the pump turning on when you have expelled all the air between the water tank and the installation site. It is better to do everything according to the instructions. Be sure to read it. : half a year the flight is excellent. For those who care about the foam, see the photo. Much depends on your hands. Rating solid 4ka with a plus.

Pros
  • + small dimensions + good build quality and a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer + great coffee + foam from 2.5% plain milk is made up to 3 cm without problems (the main milk is to be cold) + a tank of water lasts for 5 days (1 cup of coffee in the morning) + containers for draining after washing are also enough for 5 mugs + easy to maintain + cold start (heat up) time 30 seconds (just enough to load coffee) + stylish design + not easily soiled (since almost all matte plastic)
Cons
  • - freezer with cappuccinatore
