Amandaj66's review of Neff C7660

“Lovely coffee, but what a faff!!”

★★★☆☆

written by Amandaj66 on 12/02/2015

My machine is built in above a warming drawer and an oven, so quite high.
It looks great and to be fair coffee is lovely, but there are too many things about this machine that irritate me!
It's always telling you something needs doing, Empty Drip Tray, Short Rinse System Required, Milk Frother not set up Correctly, Bean container almost empty, water tank almost empty etc etc etc....
This machine is not plumbed in - mistake number 1
The milk sits in a separate container, attached by a tube to the frother - mistake number 2

Despite having had the machine for almost a year, I still forget to put the milk dispenser in the fridge at night, and am therefore confronted with yoghurt filled machine parts in the morning, which are a nightmare to clean. The milk brother gets a build up of some off milk collecting through the day anyway, inspire of the machine's demands for a short rinse system! I have all but destroyed the rubber parts of the frother trying to clean it.

The double walled milk container won't keep the milk chilled for long, and I have to sniff it before I make a coffee, and even then, I'm occasionally confronted by what looks like cottage cheese on my coffee.

I live in Cornwall, and we don't get limescale at all, so the descale which takes forever is an irrelevance.

In conclusion, the water needs to be plumbed, and the milk contained within, in a refrigerated part to make me buy this again. We're about to have our dream home built, and I'll be trying to find a better machine: or I'll go back to the trusty Nespresso!
