Krup's Espresso Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Krups R871-42 Espresso Bravo Boiler System Espresso/Cappuccino Machine, Black (Kitchen)
We bought this machine (retail price). It worked well for an occasional latte. However, it failed after a few month's use (after warranty). The steamer doesn't work well--either is clogged (despite cleaning) or there isn't enough steam. I bought a better machine--a pump one--at a garge sale for $20 which works much better. I don't like the technolocy of this machine. you have to measure the water to get both the coffee brewed and enough steam for the milk.. I recommend investing in a more advanced machine.

OK machine. Meant for 1-2 people, not multiple servings.,

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Krups R871-42 Espresso Bravo Boiler System Espresso/Cappuccino Machine, Black (Kitchen)
With a little practice and a routine, this machine is pretty easy to use. Others have complained about milk clogging the steamer. I found running some steam into a cup of water will adequately clean it out. For the money, I think this is a great machine.Cons: Steam wand is too close to the body and it is stationary. It is difficult to fit a container for steamed milk. The unit does not come with a metal cup for steamed milk, so this required an additional outlay of about $10. I can make about 20 oz. of cappuccino/mocha in one execution. This ends up being a single serving for myself. You are limited in the amount of espresso and steamed milk (because of wand configuration) you can make in one batch. Therefore, when making drinks for a larger group, you need to run through the routine multiple times. Quite a hassle. If you plan to use while entertaining, look for a different machine.

Best money I've ever spent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned Krups R871-42 Espresso Bravo Boiler System Espresso/Cappuccino Machine, Black (Kitchen)
I give this item 5 stars based on its price. Sure there are easier machines to use. This one took me about a month to really get in the groove with, but now it's prefection every time. My 3 year old loves to help, and even he can steam the milk (with supervision! ) so it's really not that hard. You just have to watch over the coffee as it drips down and switch the machine off before it gets too watery. I just had a second baby so I need caffeine every day! And don't have time to run downstairs to Starbucks. For the priece of just about 2 weeks worth of starbucks addiction, I have my own little coffee bar going. It's a HUGE hit at playgroups. If this machine breaks tomorrow (which i doubt since its working awesome) it will have already been worth its weight in gold. Or Lavazza. :-)
