Hello first of all to all!
I have the Cafe Celica now about 3 months and have brewed according to the display about 350 coffee with it. Due to the individual adjustment possibilities with regard to brewing temperature, water quantity (up to max. 230ml in steps of ten) and coffee quantity (4 steps), it is possible to boil HIS coffee for every coffee drinker. Water containers and coffee bean containers are sufficiently large. If, for example, the water in the tank runs out during the brewing process, the brewing process is stopped and an acoustic signal sounds. Very convenient! After refilling, the brewing process continues.
The display is simply structured and clearly arranged by symbols:
1. coffee preparation (1 cup or 2)
2. hot water preparation with selection of how much ml
3. steam function or milk foamer with selection of how many seconds duration
4. menu (basic settings, decalcifying, possibly timer, etc)
buttons or switches can be found on the device in vain - everything runs via the touch display
The milk foamer works surprisingly well. The tube is simply hung into a milk carton. After pressing the button, the sucked-in milk is foamed and filled into the cup via the tap. The quantity can be set here in seconds per duration.
The water used by the device for cleaning is filled into the drip tray. An optical indicator ('float) shows when the bowl is full. Easy handling / emptying.
At the right side is a revision flap, behind which the brewing unit and the collecting container for the used coffee grounds are located. Both are easy to remove and clean. The display also shows when the container is full. Whether the brewing unit is of high quality or just cheap stuff, I can't say, because I have no comparison. In any case, it makes a decent, stable impression.
The top of the machine has a large dimensioned and well heating warming plate.
From the outside, the machine has an appealing, decorative design.
All in all, the machine has a good price-performance ratio for almost 300, - Euronen and can compete with some highly paid coffee machines. I can't report anything negative about the device, because I haven't had a failure yet. Only one word translation error in the descaler menu ("fill the descaler into the [U]refrigerator") I noticed.
However, it does not affect the function.
Only the remote control is missing.......................................................................................................................................................
