 Great coffemaker for the price March 20, 2006

I love this coffeemaker. It is quiet while it brews and takes only a few minutes to make an entire pot. I don't use the cappacino portion too often, but I like having only one machine on my counter instead of a coffemaker AND a cappacino machine. This is a very nice product. I would highly recommend it.

I'm new to making espresso and lattes, so lots of trial and error was required. Out of the box, the machine performed well and true to other feedback, the frother worked extremely well. The steam control knob was required to throttle steam flow to achieve micro-froth. After using every day for 2 months, it now takes 20 minutes to make a latte and there is barely enough steam to froth. If you're serious about making espresso, pay a little more and get a more robust unit.
 Krups XP1500 Coffee and Espresso Combination Machine April 4, 2007

Normally the machine is good. However, the one I purchased leaked badly. It had to be sent back for repair, and Krups does not pay for the shipping. It has not yet returned, so whether or not it has been repaired properly is not known.

We replaced a Krup coffee/espresso combo which we purchased about 12 years ago. What a wonderful machine! Unfortunately, this model was no longer available. The model #985 was the recommended replacement. However, it doesn't even come close.
1) The basket for the coffee filter is too small in diameter for the filter, causeing grounds to fall into the brew. The basket also leaks, giving you a countertop lake to start your morning.
2) The espresso is okay provided you don't want a cappuccino. The froth attachment is so low and it is difficult to get the milk pitcher under the spigot. The milk froths very quickly, and your container is overflowing with foam while the milk is still cold. It's okay only if you froth enough milk for 1, maybe 2 shots, but if you need milk for the full pot (4 shots), you'll need to froth milk one-half at a time.
The pot is will soon be available for sale at our local Goodwill.
Stay away from this one! February 26, 2007

I've had Krups before, but this one will insure that I never buy another. It makes fair coffee, but luke warm expresso (if you can call that expresso). The handle on the espresso pot broke off after approximately 12 uses. Also, note that his unit does not have an automatic shut off.
