Situation
As its name implies, the Evolution is a further development of the proven model
series Ecolino and Ecopower in a standardised design.
We decided to relaunch the two coffee-machine types that have been so successful
in the market, and to combine them in a standardised design moulded on that of the
Sinfonia.
The newly developed design of the Evolution is at the core of the new entry-level and
top-level models. Although they are now similar in appearance the two models differ
in product output and consequently in their applications too (see table of features).
Even though we have now merged the Ecolino and Ecopower into one, the features
for the entry-level and top-level models remain the same compared with the Ecolino
and Ecopower.
Sales release / readiness for delivery
The list below contains the precise dates for the trade-fair presentations, sales
releases and delivery dates.
The Ecolino and Ecopower are to be phased out at the end of February 2004, which
means the Ecolino / Ecopower versions will still be available until that date, alongside
the Evolution.
