 Another disappointed customer! February 18, 2008

My wife doesn't drink coffee, so it is appropriate to say "I" received the XP1500 as a wedding gift. Like others, the SECOND TIME I made espresso, the handle cracked on the espresso grounds holder from the normal pressure of turning it into place. Customer service assured me that they could do nothing unless I had the receipt. This was two years ago, and the machine was a brand new item, so there should have been no question to the age of the machine for warranty purposes, but I had no receipt since it was a wedding gift. They wouldn't even pay the shipping for a new holder. In short, they wouldn't budge, and if I wanted a new grounds holder, I would have to pay full cost to do so. So I kept it, being very careful over the last couple of years to not turn it too hard. Today, it broke further, rendering it useless. To be fair, I have tried to make espresso and cappucino many times, but I have never been able to get a truly good cup from this machine.
Other problems: the frother is too low. You need to angle the milk cup too much to be useful. A half cup of cold milk will turn into a counter full of frothed milk when it's done.
You're better off researching all products and choosing one that is made with better materials, has better reveiws for the quality of the resultant coffee, and going with a company that has BETTER CUSTOMER SUPPORT. There's a reason that "customers who purchased this product also purchased..." "...REPLACEMENT ITEMS!!!"
 Good coffee, disappointing machine January 15, 2008

We've been through two of these machines in five years. That may be good for some people but for $100 we thought it would work longer. Even with constant cleaning, after awhile it takes forever to brew a pot and most of the water/coffee is lost in steam. The handle also broke off of the espresso ground holder the first or second time we used it. We're going for another brand this time around.
Not a good coffee maker December 3, 2007

This is my second espresso machine. Unlike my first one, I didn't do any research before buying and have regretted it. The frother doesn't stick out all that well and makes it difficult to get a cup to froth the milk. It also stopped working after about third or fourth month. You have to use the glass contain for espresso because it is difficult to put a coffee mug under the spout. Finally, you have to buy coffee filters and is a pain.
 good buy November 5, 2007

I got this for my husband who is a coffee drinker. He loves using it - it's simple to use, cleans easily, and makes excellent coffee and espresso!

I have had this machine for 9 months. The knob never worked all settings only the top or bottom. The case cracked on the espresso side, the black handle broke off the glass carafe on the expresso side. The steam no longer works that just happened. I hate this machine and would never buy another KRUPS product, what a piece of JUNKKKK.
