Pros & Cons
Pros
Quality of construction seems excellent and melitta doesn’t have the same promotional overheads as jura. The personalisation system is also fantastic! Makes decent coffee and easy to use.
When you make a milky drink it asks you if you want to 'easy clean' which flushes the milk tube and faucet.
Bean to cup is the way forwards. I love how it handles the used bean grinds too. The coffee bean selector, it’s great to have an alternative.
If you're a coffee nut like me, then this is the machine for you.
Cons
Most information / reviews are in german (we found lots of comments about both issues in a popular german coffee forum - google translate is your friend) have arranged to return for a full refund. P&p for return £17.

This means you can slide the machine under a worktop cupboard.
The alternative it replaces was a nesspresso with milk container.

I used to put all the nespresso milk prep gear in the dishwasher but with this machine there’s a dedicated milk cleaning solution that will cost about a £1 week £5 5 x weekly cycles and then there’s anti calc fluid same as other machines and then some detergent tablets that the machine chomps to clean the mechanism etc so be prepared for these costs of the consumables

I’m sure there would be plenty of maintenance and cleaning involved with that one too along with a steep learning curve to making great coffee which unfortunately as i live in a busy real world don’t have time to partake in

I could probably get it fixed for £150 but it is quite old for a home bean to cup machine 5 12 years
