Poor mug warmer performance.
No anti-drip system.

Vitek VT-1522 BK

This model is the freshest for the outgoing year and is essentially a modified version of the previous three - VT-1514, VT-1516, VT-1517. The design of the device has been improved, metal elements have been added to the exterior, which makes it look more solid. The milk jug has received additional volume, but at the same time takes up less space on the front panel. Fixed a bug with the available cup height, now the tall milk container fits easily, but two still cannot be installed. For small containers for espresso, a special folding metal stand is prepared.

The water tank is made of other materials and does not have the persistent smell of plastic noted in previous models, but its volume is slightly less - 1.4 liters. Filters similar to VT-1516 and VT-1517 are used. The interface has been expanded to 7 buttons, which makes operation even easier, while you can program all portions, not just milk ones. There are also negative changes - the lack of hot water supply and quick rinsing of the cappuccinatore. There is a rinsing system, but it is different from the previous ones and supplies water to the cappuccino maker and the spout, which makes it less effective and affects the quality of the foam. In general, the model is much more successful than its predecessors.Its cost is on average 11,000 rubles.
