Well, I have to admit, I've been dazzled by good design. Of course the inner values have to be right, but if the design is bad and the choice of materials is of bad quality, then even the best coffee can come out below... Coffee enjoyment is not only something for the mouth, but in my opinion also something for the eye.

How do you see it?

Mhh appearance yes, humans are eye animals. (sentence end)

some KVA´s are dirty finches, because the dear constructors have completely grasped into the ceramics. They already had KVA`s that they stank so they had to stay outside.
And only after a real complete cleaning I rebuild them.
With a KVA known to me this problem was not necessarily from the operator
but from the discharge of the brewing group.
So after a coffee day it had to be painted again from the inside, not to forget the brewing group.
Coffee, that doesn't taste good with the knowledge.

As you know, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder wink.gif Anyway, I first look at the technical data to see if it meets my requirements. At the end comes the design.

For me, the coffee quality, i.e. what the machine really can do, is much more important than the design. Colour fades - taste remains. cool.gif

I see it the same way. As far as colour is concerned, you can't do so much wrong with black or silver. From the general design point of view, there are machines where I also let myself be influenced more by it than by the "inner values". A friend had once ordered the http://www.ekinova.de/kaffeezubereitung/kaffeevollautomaten/ Perfecta ESAM 5400 on ekinova due to the green design. Didn't appeal to me at all but that's a good example. Even if she is convinced of the quality.

The design doesn't play an important role for me either, but nevertheless I would prefer a nice device, like this for example, as long as the device prepares a perfect latte or mocha or just normal coffee in great quality.

Surely quality plays a bigger role than design of the machine but most machines are already technically mature so far that one hardly notices a difference between the devices. The best are still the good old machines but no one can afford them anymore they have meanwhile collector value laugh.gif

Halli Hallo,

so of course one already pays attention to whether the machine fits into the living concept. Of course, silver and black fit everywhere. But the quality is more important.

You drink the coffee after all and don't look at it wink.gif>

But as a well-known saying goes "The eye eats with"

So a coffee machine is also an eye-catcher and a topic of conversation for visitors! biggrin.gif

First and foremost, the technology, quality and above all, of course, the prepared product were the deciding factors for me.


>The question about the design was only raised when I knew which machine it would be, the choice we had. black, shiny chrome or alu-matt.

The choice fell on alu-matt because it looks good and is the easiest to clean.

Hey,

>For me design is not as important as functionality and taste, but it should fit into the overall picture of the kitchen. So I wouldn't put a blue coffee machine in a green kitchen or anything.

I have a beige kitchen and my coffee machine is black/grey. I'm very happy with that. biggrin.gif

In general, the functionality of my machine is the most important thing to me. But this one also "occupies a main place" in my kitchen, I have nothing against it if also a beautiful design is added.

Straight line with screen carrier machines I like this beautiful retro touch, that fits perfectly smile.gif
