Espresso Machines > Krups Espresso Machines

Just like Starbucks!(ish)

Advantages: great coffee whenever you want it
Disadvantages: not the most modern

...is more box-like than newer krups versions which i see are more robot-like. But that doesn't change the taste of course just the outside design, to get an easy and tasty coffee all you have to do is load your coffee capsle into the loading arm(making sure you have put some water into the tank of course) then select whether you want a large or small cup press the appropriate button for either of these and then the start button and after a bit of ...
...Espresso blends and three Lungo blends. The coffee capsules are easily ordered over the phone or the web www.nespresso.com and usually arrive the next day, it also has a cappuccino facility to make frothy milk simply by moving the side nozzle into a cup of milk and pulling the side lever down. You can also use it to make hot water drinks such as hot chocolate, overall a handy machine that lets you enjoy a variety of coffee flavours at short notice, ...

Review of Krups Nespresso Programmatic

Move over Costa and Starbucks!!

Advantages: Easy to use and clean, compact and stylish.
Disadvantages: Drinks could stay a bit hotter.

I've been looking for a coffee machine for some time and decided on the dolce gusto as it looked quirky and compact. Lots of people have commented positively on its appearance. The colour is more cream than white. This machine is soooo easy to use. It works quickly and at first seems a bit noisy but it's in such a short blast you barely notice it after a few uses. Really easy to clean - a quick wipe and it's done. It comes with a box of mixed capsules ...
...If you log on to Nescafe site you also get bonus points which enables you to get money off capsules. The capsules are readily available in supermarkets. Only down side I've experienced - whilst the drinks are hot they do need to be drunk quickly as they do not keep the heat like a drink from a conventional kettle. The capsules are also not recyclable. Overall this is a good product. Even my husband (a lifelong non coffee drinker!) enjoys using ...

Review of Krups KP 2102 Dolce Gusto White

I love Coffee!, and this helps!!

Advantages: Yummy
Disadvantages: None

Got this as a wedding present, and boy has it had a lot of use! Didn't come with any cartridges first off, which meant I could not enjoy it for a wee while! Ordered cartridges on E-bay, got a free packet and started making lovely coffee. I always thought these types of coffee machines were a waste, but after I tried it, I was hooked. Easy and fool-proof. Versatile, in that you can make diffenerent coffees. I regularly use the espresso made for other ...

Review of Krups XN2000

Dolce Gusto...yummy coffee in an instant!

Advantages: Easy to clean and maintain. Great tasting coffee. Bit of variety in the drinks.
Disadvantages: Pods are expensive. You have to measure the water out manually.

Amazing machine!! I love it so much!!!! I have the red one, and its amazing! So so easy to use, the only thing I would say about it is that you determine how mcuh water to use, now this is good in some ways, but, if your new to the machiine and aren't sure how much to use, it can be confusing!! But you get used to it, and the booklet you get with it describes how to make each drink! You get a selection of two of each of the drinks to test and see ...
...can only be used once and are almost £4 for either 16 or 8 drinks (depending on what drink you get!!) I think the price is brilliant for what it is, its very good looking and modern and comes in a range of colours which is great as it means anyone can fit one into their kitchen! It's small and compact yet holds plenty of water!!! Makes a range of drinks, not just plain coffee which is great. ...

Review of Krups KP 2106 Dolce Gusto RED

Eccelenti! Fantastic! Molta buona!

Advantages: Brilliant, so simple to use, great value for money
Disadvantages: none at all! would really reccommend!

...were able to buy the Krups machine for £170, a much reduced price than we'd seen (some shops were selling it second hand for over £250!). So, once we had the machine in out hands it was time to test it! Appearance The machine looks so professional. It is very stylish in black and chrome, with selection buttons running down the left side, a strength indicator (use this function to make a café Americano, lattes, espressos etc). The right hand ...
...underneath the nozzle and has 2 holes for the drips to go directly into the tray beneath (rather than getting the silver plate manky!). The top of the machine is flat and has space to keep espresso cups etc. There is also a section to use pre-ground coffee. The water tank fits discreetly on the left hand side of the machine and the beans go in the right! Functions Ok, the buttons on the left hand side are the main functions for making fantastic ...
