Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It gets a 4 from me for 3 minor 1. Which is surprising with how many complaints there are.

Smaller footprint on the counter, but seems to brew similar. The pot is a great size for me and it's the only pot i've ever had that doesn't spill when you pour a cup. The carafe is well made for both the coffee and espresso sides of the machine.

Medelco #4 cone permanent coffee filter.

The expresso side works wonderfully and the steam vent puts out good pressure. The machine steams milk very well.



Cons

The carafe has a weird spout that leaks water down the side if you don't pour fast. It frequently overflows even without the filter folding over into the basket. Often if it doesn't overflow, the brew is so weak you can see through it.

There is no backlight on the recessed clock so it is very difficult to set without a flashlight. It is very easy to accidentally turn on the coffee when programming. This is a multi-hundred dollar plastic mess.

I have used my krups machine for 10 years now, until it finally died today.

Price


Not even two years ago i bought this machine for $107 from amazon.


Now amazon lists the price at $677 and up.


I'd love to get one for my daughters, but right now they are priced high and in demand.

    The water compartment lid should be ridged or textured to avoid slipping out of the hand when opening to pour in water

    My barista skills are poor however i was able to enjoy the coffee and expresso features of this combo coffee maker with ease

    Slightly disappointed with the fact the display came off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is glued on perhaps the steam function made the glue break down over time

    I drink mainly espresso whereas others in my household prefer the coffee

    It does indeed stop flow when you remove the pot and it keeps the coffee warm until i automatic shutoff

    I tried replacing it but it kept detaching so finally i used a label maker to mark the buttons

    No big deal and it does not affect functioning
