Very nice machine for the price!Shannon On The Lakes
Remember the small steam espresso machines from Krups some 25 years ago? They really paved the way for home espresso machines. It's come a long way from the only option being stovetop (moka)pots made popular in the 1930s. This unit is perfect for those that want some of the perks of a machine costing much more, and don't care if the machine lacks some of the customization obtained by the pricey machines. I'm really happy about the universal filter holder, no more switching inserts for pods. If you are super fussy (and this is a good tip for any coffee device with plastic/rubber/silicone parts), wash the filter using only UN-scented dish soap.It has a 'Thermo-block' system, which is an insulated block chamber (as opposed to a boiler)so your temps will be more constant and it's a more 'heat on demand' process. Probably more energy efficient but that's just my guess. It has a 15 bar pump, a 'bar' is a measure of pressure...and 15 bars of pressure will force quite nicely. I think those early steam ones had only 3 or 4 bars of pressure!This is a VERY easy machine once you have a few draws under your belt.If you have any questions about this unit, please feel free to leave a comment. I love drinking and learning/talking about coffee, so ask anything or educate me!UPDATE: Every espresso machine has it's own personality, and after pulling quite a few shots and frothing gallons of milk, the XP6010, and my PARTICULAR XP6010 is no different. I've found that if down to the minimum level of water in the tank, 99% of the time it will need more water and a quick priming. If left on for a long time, it needs a quick prime before my next shot. To prime, one simply releases a bit of water from the steam nozzle, so it's not a big deal, but it is indeed one of the quirks.Read more ›
Great espresso maker for this price range!K. Henry
I previously worked as a barista for a couple of years and acquired quite a bit of espresso knowledge on the job, so I did my research before deciding on this machine. I am confident that if you know what you're doing already OR are willing to be a student of espresso machines for a little while, you can get great results with any machine. Like any other machine, this Krups took some trial and error. For example, I became quite frustrated on a couple occasions during the first week of use because I would flip the espresso dial and nothing would happen. It turned out I had used too much espresso, so that took a little finessing to get just right.First, the things I love about the machine: easy to use, easy to clean, relatively easy to understand, and gives me good-tasting espresso for americano or latte/cappuccino.Things I had to learn: don't overfill the basket/portafilter, and if you're making a latte do the espresso before the milk- the machine takes forever to heat up for espresso after doing steam.Things I was nervous about but have turned out to be fine: I was really looking for more control of the steam- I'm used to bigger machines with a knob for steam, but the one-setting steam on this machine comes out just fine. The foam is a little more bubbly than I would like, but I'm not a foam snob so it doesn't bother me. I was also nervous about the precise-tamp feature, but that's a-ok, too! The shot comes out nicely and you can see three distinct layers of color as it pulls and then settles to two colors (dark espresso and light crema). I wasn't sure exactly how much space I would have to put a mug under the portafilter, but most of my mugs fit. I also bought a little shot glass to hold the espresso if I'm using a larger mug and that is working great.Read more ›
Best machine for the price!Tanner Adam
I have been a barista for many years, so I've used quite a few machines. Although I'm familiar with espresso machines, i am on a budget, so finding a decent priced one is a bit hard. I looked up the best machines and didn't find many surveys or reports. So i set out to look. I have came across Delonghi ( very mixed reviews), Gaggia ( its okay, but not great build quality), and Nespresso (sorry i have a Keurig, pods are already stretching my budget). I then saw Krups, looks great, thats all i thought of. But i don't want a machine that expresses a social status on my counter, the real question is, does it work? I looked at reviews and there were quite a few positive ones. I looked up the company, how they held up, etc. and i went out on a limb. This machine kicks a$$! I can't believe the heat up time, the espresso taste (especially the crema!), and how GREAT it froths. The sturdiness is great, no leaks, nothing! And on top of the quality, it does look pretty freakin awesome! The cup warmer is also actually warm, almost HOT! Even some of the $16,000 machines I've worked with don't warm cups as good. If you want a quality machine on a budget, there is no other machine that is as satisfying as this one.*Please remember, read the manual, and begin with the start up procedures.***ALSO! Any machine you buy will have a plastic smell and taste. To make that completely dissipate, put about 1/4 of distilled white vinegar, and 3/4 of water in the water tank. Run it through the machine as if you were following the startup procedures. The smell and taste will be completely gone! Hope I helped!
