Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - good on the regular coffee side but...
The espresso/cappuccino side, well, it sucks.My little espresso carafe actually broke, the little plastic part holding the handle to the metal band snapped.After only using it twice.
Also, sometimes, the steamer just does not want to work.Period.Oh, the pressure will build up, and there really is no way to release the pressure, other than to remove the coffee basket and blast coffee grinds everywhere (done it, twice) or try to untwist the cap off (not easy with that pressure), and ...

Rating:  - Doesn't last long
I used to have a separate krups coffee make and espresso maker.I love the espresso maker because I can make more coffee then most.The frother works well, you just have to learn how to do it right.After six years I decided it was time to replace both when I broke the carafes to each machine.So, I decided to get this double machine.The coffee pot just stopped working.I clean it out with vinegar on a regular basis so I know it wasn't calcified water.When I turn it on, the hot plate doesn't ...

Rating:  - A good concept cheaply executed
Here's the skinny -
This is the least expensive coffee/espresso maker I could find.I use it daily.It's a steam driven machine, so if you are a serious espresso fiend, you'll be disappointed.It just doesn't crank out enough pressure to give you an authentic espresso.It does an ok job at a fast shot of really strong coffee.
The thing that really and truly is disappointing is the glassware.I'm pretty careful about how I take care of my things.But repeated heat + washing ... Read More
Rating: - Residue unacceptable, BAD design
The holes in the sieve for the espresso are too large.Using espresso grind, there is a nasty, unacceptable residue that mixes with the coffee.I called Krups customer service.Rep said my grind was too fine!If the machine can't use espresso grind for expresso, it is designed wrong.As others mentioned, the froth doesn't work correctly.There is no steam left for froth after the espresso it made.If you want froth, you have to reload more water in the machine and wait for it to heat up again! ...

Rating:  - Makes a good cup of coffee and espresso
I've had this machine for about two weeks and it works great. Granted it's not a high-end machine, but it gets the job done. After reading other reviews about the handle breaking off the espresso pitcher I've been gentle with mine and haven't run into a problem.
I'd recommend this machine if you want a combo unit and don't want to pay $100s more. It makes a great cup of coffee and an awesome latte. I might have given it a higher rating if it had a thermal caffe.
