 Coffee side broken August 28, 2008
George (Maryland)
DON'T BUY THIS MACHINE, I AM WITH THE OTHER REVIEWS AND FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN $200 AND FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET.
I bought this machine about 3 months ago, and it worked fine initially.
Made good coffee, and espresso was good, although the steamer worked fairly good. Then it developed a large leak whenever the coffee maker was filled with water. I eventually took the back and bottom off to see if it was a simple fix. Turns out the plastic outlet fitting from the bottom of the water reservoir was all cracked and in pieces. A part of the plastic fitting had worked it's way into the tubing. I am on hold now to see if I can get this repaired under warranty, but honestly, probably be worth buying something else at this point. By the time I pay for shipping this, etc.
 Broke after 1 Year August 24, 2008
Cynthia (CT)
Coffee maker side works well. One gripe is that the carafe design is severely flawed so it's impossible to pour a cup of coffee without spilling everywhere. After 1 year, coffee maker side still works but espresso & frother don't. The pump turns on now and doesn't shut off when we switch on the espresso side and the reservoir that catches drips just fills with water in a matter of seconds and floods the countertop. No espresso or foam can be produced. It's a shame because this machine made an excellent cup of espresso while it worked and we really loved how easy it is to use. The frother was not as powerful as we'd hoped so we had to froth the milk at least twice to get a nice foam for cappuccinos, but in the end they tasted great. My father owns an expensive Gaggia machine and said that the espresso from my Krups actually came out better than his. I just wish it had lasted longer. I'd expected a lot more from a trusted name like Krups and for the price of the machine.
No Repair Parts Available July 28, 2008

Sadly, Krups doesn't offer the most basic repair parts for this unit...including the plastic parts that are bound to break. They are also pretty nonresponsive, referring you to vendors that don't have the parts to offer. It works nicely for as long as it works but is quick to become a piece of junk. All they'd have to do is have a reasonable way to order a reasonable variety of repair parts...but, they simply don't.
 My experience with this machine has been excellent July 11, 2008

I bought this machine with reservation after reading the reviews, but for the money I couldn't find anything comparable. I wanted a sturdy professional looking machine for way less than the $500. and over I am used to seeing for pump driven machines. After living with this machine for a couple of months now, I have to say that my experience has been nothing but positive. The coffee carafe does seem a little fragile, but almost all of them do now for some reason - anyway I'm careful with it. This unit faithfully makes a couple of cups of perfect espresso every morning without any problems whatsoever. I can't see spending more money on another machine and I highly recommend this one.
LOVE IT! May 31, 2008

I like this product a lot, it makes good hot espresso quickly and the coffee maker works perfectly. I have not had any quality problems what so ever. You have to read the instruction booklet as the controls are not intuitive to a first time user. After you learn the how to use the machine, it becomes apparent that this is a well designed appliance and a great value for the money. I'm willing to bet that other reviewers let the pump run without water in the tank (which ruins the pump, causing leaks) and aren't preheating the espresso side before making espresso.
