Krups XP2070 Programmable 10-Cup Coffeemaker/15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was and still am deeply suspicious of these combo units, but this one has been a pleasant surprise.All of the basic functions work admirably and it does a wonderful job of frothing even low fat milk.The espresso maker is a little less forgiving of your tamping skills than other machines I've used, but when you get it right the crema is beautiful.
I have only had this for 3 months, so I can't vouch for longevity of the machine, but it seems to be sturdy and well made.

The problem I have is with the computer program that operates everything.It is perhaps the most non-intuitive, least user-friendly design I have ever come across on any home appliance.The functions themselves should be fairly straightforward -- push a button -- but require you to learn the secret code of whomever designed it.
Add to that the fact that the instructions are WRONG.I can handle them being written by a non-English speaker, I'm used to that.But they can at least be accurate.Helpful tip - when frothing milk, after the steam has built up and the flashing light begins to glow continuously, DO NOT push the "steam" button again as the instructions indicate.Push the "Valid" button instead.

However, once you get the secret code down, this machine works well.Compared to other combo units I highly recommend.
