The Coffee Maker that Sold for £3,500 on eBay*
Review of Krups ProAroma Plus 310 by
Freespirit
Advantages: Easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: The hot plate is too hot and burns the coffee
.... The biggest problem is the hot plate which is far too hot and spoils the coffee quickly. If I want really good coffee for after dinner I prefer to use my Cona coffee maker which not only makes superb coffee but provides an interesting experience in its own right.
*The Krups ProAroma 10 cup coffee machine is very famous in certain circles due to it being the star of the very first web cam set up in 1993 in the Trojan room at Cambridge University. The boffins trained a digital camera on the coffee pot and wired up computers so they could see it from their desks – so they could see whether it was worth going to fill their up cup or not. This famous coffee maker was made even more famous when it was sold on eBay for £3,350....

KRUPS OF COFFEE.
Review of Krups GVX231 by
L0BSTER_QUADRILLE
Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use.
Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.

Here are the key features:
Capacity: 1.25 litres
Coffee type: Ground
Filter: Paper
Cup warmer: Yes
Removable reservoir: No
Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm
Wattage: 1100W
Krups is a mid-range brand in the coffee machine world. I had decided on this machine before I went out to buy one: due to the advertised features. I found it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix...
