Customer Review: mediocre coffee maker
While this is a fast brewer, it doesn’t make very good coffee and the programmable features are cheap and awkward to use
Customer Review: New to Krups
My wife and I are medical students and therefore avid coffee drinkers. Having recently gotten married, we were looking for a coffee maker that would be perfect! We thought we had found it in this Krups model. Below I am going to share the Pros and Cons about this model in hopes that it will help others make a good decision. Trust us, we realize how important coffee is in the morning and throughout the day!

Pros: Good strong coffee, fast brewing time, coffee comes out hot, and the heating unit works very well at keeping the coffee hot.

Cons: As some have mentioned the carafe drips almost every time it is poured (frustrating!). Also, after pouring water into the back of the unit several times a bubble formed in the tube that measures the water level rendering it unusable (not a huge deal but annoying). Finally, the back of the unit that one lifts to pour in the water now doesn’t fit flush with the back. I think it most likely bowed from the heat (again, annoying).

In summary, I like this coffee maker. It really does make good coffee! I have thoroughly enjoyed the important qualities of this coffee maker…namely hot, strong, good tasting coffee. The few cons, though, make this a good coffee maker and not a great one.

Customer Review: Wish I’d read these reviews first!
I wish I had taken the time to read these reviews as I probably would not have bought this machine. I am experiencing many of the issues outlined in the reviews such as the poor frothing ability and tendency for the wand to fire itself into a jug of hot milk resulting in minor scalding and a huge mess. In addition the whole machine regularly disappears into a cloud of steam after using the espresso function and sometimes the drip side too. The filter gasket for pods leaks steam (thus losing pressure crucial for good espresso shots) no matter how small I cut down the pod.

Basically I have been persevering with this item for months now such that I am unlikely to be able to return it. It is fatally flawed. I would give it away but for fear that someone will burn themselves using it! I’m severely disappointed that Krups would manufacture such a poor piece of equipment.

I almost never write reviews so please: take heed! Pick a different machine - this one is terrible!
Customer Review: XP2010 Combination Coffee Maker Expresso
Am very satisfied with this product. Makes great coffee and expresso. The frothing is a little weak. You must run the cycle twice to get milk warm enough to froth. Easy cleanup. Makes coffee in about 3 to 4 minutes.
