The absence of a multi-drink function may also disappoint coffee lovers who enjoy varying their preparations. Finally, although the power of 1000 W is adequate for most users, it could be considered insufficient for those who wish to prepare large quantities quickly. In terms of evaluation, the user experience is overall positive, with a score of 85, thanks to the built-in screen and the illuminated power switch that facilitate daily use. Performance is rated at 75, reflecting quick heating, but may be insufficient for demanding users. The design receives a score of 80 for its elegance and integration capability, although space issues may arise. Features, rated at 70, show that automation simplifies preparation, but limitations in drink diversity are notable. Finally, the value for money is reasonable with a score of 78, although some limitations may disappoint the most demanding users. In summary, the Grundig KM 8680 is an elegant and practical coffee machine, ideal for users looking for a simple solution to prepare their coffee, but it may not satisfy enthusiasts wanting more variety and customization in their drinks.Score details
