5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Beautiful Espresso Machine, Works Great!, September 29, 2011

My Starbucks bill gets high so my husband bought me this machine as a gift. I used to own De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker a while and died less than a year. It's the most beautiful looking machine, so my kitchen looks amazing for just having this unit. It's very easy to use and clean. Heats up very quickly. I'm very happy with this gorgeous item in my kitchen and start a day with a Latte which does not cost $5.

4.0 out of 5 stars great except coffee grinds "puck" doesn't dry out, November 13, 2011

This review is from: Krups XP4600 Silver Art Collection Espresso Machine with Precise Tamp, Stainless Steel/Chrome (Kitchen)

(I've had it almost 1 week & made 10 double shots.) The machine is beautiful (chrome and stainless w/wood trim), compact, easy to use, heats quickly and cleans up easily. It has made good crema on the coffee.

The water reserve tank must be filled after 4 double shots of coffee are made (including the steaming of the milk) which is no big deal. The machine lets out water (internally) into the outside tray, to cool the machine after you froth your milk, but the tray comes right out and is easy to clean.

Tips: 1)Read the manual before using. 2)Before making the 1st cup of coffee each day, after the machine says it's ready/hot, set the machine to make a double cup but don't put the filter with the grinds in. Let the water come out into a cup to heat the machine lines (then discard water). Then put your filter with grinds in and tighten as much as it lets you and make your coffee. This will make a hotter cup. 3)If you like steamed milk, buy a clip-on thermometer for your milk frothing pitcher so you know when it's hot enough.

The only problem I have is that I can't seem to make the grinds dry after I make the coffee. I tightened the coffee filter as much as I could like the manual said, but the grinds are still wet after. If anyone has any tips, please relay!

4.0 out of 5 stars like my rowenta silver art, January 6, 2012

hi i have a rowenta silver art, basically like this one except it doesnt have the 1 cup 2 cup in the head, all you have to do in the rowenta is swing the portafilter way to the right as far as it goes, this is to tamp the grounds.

i like this machines as it is 15bars so it has the pressure to extract the coffee and it heats up quick and the thermoblock that reheats to insure the same consistent heat is maintained while extracting.

although not a professional manual espresso machine but a way better machine to start with.

use grounds and ese pod is not a problem.
