But it doesn't really take 18 litres of water, does it?

Hello Anjabella yes the difference is only the colour. I am very satisfied with this coffee machine the previous machine was from saeco and did its employees every day for 16 years so since philips bought saeco the machines are top I recommend it to everyone 😊

Yes Dear, it's just about the Color.
I'm happy about this caffè machine, I tried to find something like what I had and so far this is great.
