12/2013 - Bottom line:This is a small/sleek, 15 bar, fully automatic espresso machine that makes good coffee (good crema). But buy it on sale only (less than $275), and before the end of the 2 yr warranty make sure you replace the things that will be braking (as noted in the reviews). The machine may not last a long time, but I've had positive experiences with customer service. They make good so you'll get your money's worth.10/2013 - I'm writing after 2 yrs of purchase to say this machine has fallen apart! 1)The function switch that selects the shots and the frothing, has broken. Either the plastic switch or the rubber coated "axle" that it's supposed to turn is stripped! Also, 2)the filter holder handle just cracked completely, rendering this machine useless. If yours even starts to crack, quickly ask for a new one because it will eventually crack in pieces!I called Krups customer service to ask what could be done (as my user's book said I only have a 2 year warranty, which is about over). The rep said not to worry and she'd send me a prepaid shipping label for me to ship my coffee maker to a service center for repair. She also sent me a new filter holder within a few days.It took a full month but I got my repaired coffee maker back. Aside from the inconvenience, my machine is fixed like new and I think they even recalibrated the boiler. (BTW, the new frother they sent me a year ago has worked perfectly.)5/2012 - The original steamer wand broke. It had 3 thin plastic tines that were supposed to snap onto a metal tube. The tines continued to snap off from the pressure of the steam. It was a design flaw and they knew about it and I'm happy to say, fixed it! When I called to request a 2nd wand, they sent me the old flawed design (w/i a week). But another week later they sent me a 3rd wand but with the new design! This new wand, though still with plastic parts, screws onto the metal arm! No breakable or cheap parts on this new design! If it breaks again I'll let everyone know.Krups customer service was curtious and I got my replacements within 10 days. The rep said this machine is covered by a 5 yr warranty, which is not listed in the description on this Amazon site. But the user's book says it's only a 2 yr warranty. ?Original comment on 12/2012 (I gave it a 5)The sleek chrome look of the machine is most likely a shiny coated plastic but the rest seems of good quality. The coffee has great crema, the milk froths wonderfully, it easy to use and to clean.The water reserve tank must be filled after 4 double shots of coffee are made (including the steaming of the milk) which is no big deal. The machine lets out water (internally) into the outside tray, to cool the machine after you froth your milk, but the tray comes right out and is easy to clean.Tips: 1)Read the manual before using. 2)Before making the 1st cup of coffee each day, after the machine says it's ready/hot, set the machine to make a single cup but don't put the filter with the coffee in. Let the water come out into a cup to heat the machine lines (then discard water). Then put your filter with coffee in and tighten as much as it lets you and make the shot(s). This will make a hotter cup. 3)If you like steamed milk, buy a clip-on thermometer for your milk frothing pitcher so you know when it's hot enough. 4)Experiment with the amount of coffee you put in the filter and with the grind.

I wanted to replace my recently non-working Starbucks Sirena(made by Saeco)and I did not want to spend more than I spent on the Sirena so this was one of the contenders for consideration. I chose it mostly because it said it had programmable buttons (like my Sirena, a feature that I loved)and secondly for the looks. I so dislike the looks of typical square machines. I was surprised how lightweight this machine is compared to any other espresso maker I have had. Most of the ones I had in the past weighed around 25 pounds and this was about 10! It's basically all plastic with fake wood and chromed plastic to make it look metal. I was a little dubious about that part. And, upon reading the manual, I found that the programmable buttons will not stay programmed after it is turned off! What good is that?? So, I was going through the motions of priming it and making my first espressos and steamed milk for lattes and thinking I was not happy with this machine, so far. BUT, the espresso was wonderful and had lots of crema, not bitter at all. That seems unusual for a new machine. Usually they have to be broken in for a while. The milk did foam right away, but did so so fast that it did not have time enough to get warm. The top foam was actually still cold. I tried it again and was able to figure out how to get it hot as well. It's just so different from any of the more "professional" machines that I have had that it will take some adjustments. You cannot adjust the steam because there is no knob. However, after all of this being said, I like the fact that the portafilter is all one piece and has a push-button on it to eject the puck. With other machines, I have had to bang the portafilter like hell to get the puck out (Gaggia) or it was always like soup (Sirena). This was neat and I had a bunch of nice little pucks in my garbage can. So, even though it is mostly plastic and lightweight and has no steam knob, it makes a nice beverage and I guess that is what matters!

My Starbucks bill gets high so my husband bought me this machine as a gift. I used to own De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker a while and died less than a year. It's the most beautiful looking machine, so my kitchen looks amazing for just having this unit. It's very easy to use and clean. Heats up very quickly. I'm very happy with this gorgeous item in my kitchen and start a day with a Latte which does not cost $5.
