Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Beautifully designed with a small footprint and simple-to-use controls, this coffee and espresso combination unit provides an array of convenient features. The coffeemaker side of the machine quickly brews up to 10 cups of great-tasting coffee. The coffeemaker's water-level indicator clearly shows how much water is in the tank, while its swing-out filter holder makes it easy to add coffee grounds. For added convenience, removing the carafe from its warming plate mid brew pauses the brewing process to allow for a quick pour. Other handy extras include an illuminated on/off switch, a handy coffee scoop, and a nonstick warming tray that keeps coffee hot for hours. The other side of the unit functions as an espresso/cappuccino machine with a four-bar steam system that makes espresso, cappuccino, and lattes quickly and easily. Its glass carafe with a convenient handle holds up to 4 cups of freshly made espresso, while the convenient steam nozzle easily produces rich, creamy froth. In addition, the espresso machine's removable drip tray with a stainless-steel grid is designed for quick cleanup. The 900-watt coffee and espresso combination unit measures 14-3/4 by 12-1/4 by 13-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee, good espresso-a little tricky though..., December 2, 2005

By	E. kim "hotmamagrace" (pope afb, nc) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a self-confessed coffee junkie. With or w/o the caffeine (pregnancy and such) I love the taste; and the taste of the coffee that I've brewed with this machine was great. Loved it, loved it, loved it. The machine was easy to use and looked pretty darn cool sitting there on my counter. The only issue that i have is that the espresso side seems to need some encouragement. The knobs need to be fiddled with a bit in order to get the espresso to start dripping (even after 10 minutes during a holiday party full of thirsty coffee drinkers). Thought that was just b/c my machine was so new, but it's been doing that ever since the first use. Still, it's not terribly difficult, and the coffee is oh-so-yummy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad product, worst customer support, January 23, 2006

By	Jeff Chandler "Jeff" (VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The second time I used this machine the handle broke off the espresso pot. My wife called into customer service and they said that was unfortunate and as a 1 time courtesy they would replace the espresso pot if we sent a copy of the receipt. We faxed in the receipt showing that the machine was less than a month old. Now 3 months have gone by and I still don't have the replacement. We emailed Krups a week ago but they haven't responded. Buy some other espresso machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars We love this machine, December 29, 2008

By	J. T. Kooiker (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We love this machine. We have limited space and need to have both a coffee maker and a cappucino maker in that space. We have had none of the difficulties that others mention. But we did take the black plastic sleeve off of the frother and that has made a huge difference. With it on we got bubbles. Now we get great froth. And if we pack the espresso well we get an excellent crema. It is a $100 machine that makes both coffee and espresso. It is not going to be like a $1000 Starbucks machine. We set our expectations appropriately and were delighted.
