5.0 out of 5 stars Great cappuccino maker with little upkeep!, January 26, 2006

I was shopping around for lower priced machines and my boyfriend told me that Santa would get me one. This happened to be the machine I received for xmas of 2005 and so far it's still going strong. It is cheap black plastic but it's insanely easy to clean. We make cappuccinos every morning and so far the frothing has been just fine with no problems though at the beginning, we didn't really understand how to use it and there was a lot of splattered milk! The instructions aren't very clear on how to do this--you gotta make sure you insert the frother into the milk before you turn the knob to steam! This makes enough for 2 people to have one large 4 oz. espresso so if you have more people, you want to get a different machine. Cleaning the milk frother is easy, just wet a paper towel and vigorously go over the metal. I think this is the most important step to not having a clogged frother, which breaks on many cheaper machines. We've gone to our local independent coffee shop recently and discovered that our cappuccino tasted better. Plus, it's a lot cheaper, though I do like to get out of the house and support local business once in a while!! So far, I have no complaints except for the poorly written instruction manual so just read up on how to make espresso elsewheres!

1.0 out of 5 stars Good while it lasted, October 19, 2006

This review is from: Krups FND112 Allegro Espresso Maker, Black and Copper (Kitchen)

Suited my needs for reasonable coffee and milk steamer for about 8 months. Cheapie knob for switching from coffee to steamer is a bugger. Steam is now leaking inside somewhere in steamer mode causing serious heating of the top of the unit, nasty noises, and fear of explosion. I descale it every month so I don't think I mistreated it. Did get daily use and was only $[...] but I think it should still last more than 8 months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great expresso machine for the money, coffee fast, December 26, 2006

This is a great expresso maker. My wife recieved this at christmas and we have used it several times since opening it, and it works really well. Set up is easy, easy to clean, potent coffee. The price was good (on sale around 40 dollars, down from 65), and the quality of construction is good if not better when compared to comperable competators. Only fault is that this does not steam the milk with the expresso, but that is ok. Usually that means spending much more on a unit (into the 100's of dollars). This is fine for myself and my wife, because we both preferr cooler coffee. I hope you enjoy this as well. There is an attachment to steam separately though, so for those who like the steamed milk, you have it all in this small machine. Good machine
