Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
Well, I bought this coffee maker around 3 years ago and I got some good use out of it but it just stopped working a couple of months ago.I also agree that the machine feels cheep and I guess it proved cheap since it stopped working.I never had a coffee maker just die on me and I am disappointed that I only got 3 years out of it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Piece of junk!
I would not recommend this machine. It's plastic and bulky and pretty much cheap looking. The milk frothing "wand" is short and akward to use. As soon as it hits the milk, it's a foam explosion and makes a big mess. To top it off, the espresso isn't even hot. I haven't bothered to try out the coffee side, as I'm perfectly happy with my no fuss french press. Don't waste your money on this item!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - It Krupped out!
We have only had this pot a few years, only used filtered water in it, and vinegar cleaned it regularly. The flow slowly started to diminish. We troubleshooted the machine and found a faulty heating element. Of course there is poor customer service. Krups used to be a quality product. Our "spare" $20 Mr. Coffee pot is much older than the Krups and is back in service. I will seek another espresso machine, but it will NOT be a Krups.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good coffee, bad espresso
After a year of using this we put it in the garage for the next yard sale.I didn't have a problem with the coffee, but my husband thought the espresso part was terrible.Here's our list of pros and cons:
Pros:
1.smaller and shorter so it fit easily under cabinet - however - see cons for part two of this one
2.simple and easy to use, very basic
3.good, basic coffee
Cons:
1.NO AUTO-OFF ON THE COFFEE MAKER.This is a biggie if you leave it on at least ... Read More
