KRUPS OF COFFEE.

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.

...In December 2006, my coffee filter machine broke, well, it was the operators? error, but I thought it was broke ? so, I bought a new one: the Krups version. For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure. 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...

Philips Senseo Coffee Maker - a coffee lovers heaven

Advantages: Perfect coffee at the press of a button
Disadvantages: Pods can be hard to find at times

...I am a complete coffee addict, I admit it. I can't function until I have had my caffine fix of the day. I drink my coffee stong,black and unweetened - because of this I like good coffee and it is one product that I will not economise on. Over my married life ( 38 years of it) I have had all sorts of coffee machines in my quest for a good cup of coffee, not just one that smells good when you walk in the kitchen but also tastes as good as it smells. I have had caffetieres, traditional expressom makers that you heat on the hob, an all singing and dancing cappuchino and espresso maker and umpteen different filter coffee machines. But I never did find the Holy Grail of coffee machines - the tatse wasn't quite right, or they were very difficult to clean or I ended up with a jug of stewed, bitter coffee. That was until six years ago...

Review of Philips Senseo Coffee maker

Senseo Coffee Maker

Advantages: Quick, easy to use, price
Disadvantages: None

...My husband bought me the Senseo coffee maker for a Christmas present 2006, I must say it was one of the best things he has ever bought me.I love my coffee and have used it most days and more than once a day since. It is still going strong! The Senseo doesn't have all the fancy bits to it that other coffee machines do, but it makes a nice cup of coffee and is very easy to use. The coffee comes out hot, but not boiling (my mum was never impressed with it when she came over as she likes her coffees scolding). I have occasionally had trouble with leaks, but not very often. All in all, I like it. Its a good price and makes nice coffee, itt is also easy to clean, which is another bonus for me. You can buy the pods easily in supermarkets or online, where you get quite a wide selection. Although, the pods can be quite expensive in...

Krups coffee maker FMD295

Advantages: Quick easy to use
Disadvantages: Short plug flex

...I received this coffee maker as a wedding pressie and after bringing back some wonderful Blue Mountain coffee from jamiaca we could not wait to try it out. We weren't disappointed This is our first coffee maker and we wanted to buy a relatviely simple one which, i think we achieved this. It is easy to work out where eveything goes etc without even looking at the instruction book, although that does give a comprehsive guide to the product. It is very easy to fill and the jug pours really well. It is also easy to clean as the filter lifts out with ease. It can make up to ten cups which is great when you have people round but there is an option to ask it to make 1-4 cups or 4 cups +, an excellent idea to save time and power if there is only two of you. One bad thing about this applicance is its very short flex length, you will...

Great Coffee Maker

Advantages: Good Coffee, Stylish, Very Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Very little

...We won tickets to the BBC Good Homes exhibition at the NEC in May, we ended up buying a Staffordshire Garden Furniture Pagoda and a Phillips Senseo Coffee Maker. Unlike the Pagoda we took the coffee maker home! My wife is the coffee lover - I personally do not like coffee at all. We got it for the show price with free coffee pods and mugs for £40. It is blue and stylish and just over 1 foot high. It uses coffee pods rather than granuals, these if you like are coffee bags. Usage is very easy, the pods go in a holder under the lid, the reservoir at the back holds enough water for 5 or 6 cups. Normal usage is wait to boil with the correct pods, put the cups under the spout and press the correct button for the number of pods (one pod button and a two pod button) To make a mug of coffee my wife uses 1 decaf. pod...

A Ga do do do, grind coffee and shake a tree

Advantages: Looks good, adjustable for fineness and servings
Disadvantages: A bit noisy

...Krups Expert Coffee Grinder, GVX2 Having recently bought a Gaggia Espresso machine I needed to get a grinder to prepare the beans to make the perfect coffee. I'd bought the espresso machine at Bluewater shopping centre and I knew that I'd want to get cracking as soon as I got home so there was no time to look around online to get the best deal. After realising that the only suitable Gaggia model would cost £150 I thought I'd nip into John Lewis to see what they had on offer. The choice there was pretty good with models starting at about £20 running up to the Gaggia model. After being given a crash course in the matter of grinding beans by the very helpful assistant I plumped for the Krups model, GVX2, at £39.95. Before I talk about the Krups model, let me try and pass on that crash course and explain the finer points of grinding...

THE coffee maker

Advantages: high quality, reliable, easy to use, easy to keep it clean
Disadvantages: makes two coffees at a time

...I love good coffee. I don't drink any kind of coffee just to get my daily caffeine dose. A good coffee can be made of good raw material which for me is 100% arabica coffee beans (I prefer freshly ground coffee) and the other important factor is the coffee maker. I don't like coffee makers that work with filter. Coffee is not a kind of tee, it needs special machine. At Saeco engineers know how a good coffee is. I have this kind of coffee maker at my work place (ours at home is very similar, but other brand for financial reasons). I use it to prepare coffee for my bosses and their guests. I receive so many compliments for my coffee, you can't imagine. I could make a decision on what coffee maker to buy. I didn't hesitated much as I heard a lot about Saeco's premium coffee makers. So I choose Saeco Vienna. I won't waste your time...

Krups Turned Into CRAPS w/ This Coffee Machine

Advantages: Filtered Coffee Does Brew Just like Any other Coffe Machine
Disadvantages: Espresso/Capicinno Portion Hard to use, Made Cheap, No Grinder

...Coffee is sort of the bane of my existance. There are days where i'll drink 2 cups, then there are days when i'll drink 12. It's an addiction really. I personally feel they need to have C.A. meetings for us Coffee Addicts. This may seem like useless information in a Coffee Machine review, but it'll give you a little backup info for the coffee snob that I am. I lived in France for about a year before moving to the U.K. In France they don't do normal "Pot" coffee. They seem to think the only coffee that exists isn't even called coffee, it's called "Espresso". After shopping at all the stores in France that have "rama" on the end of them, I FINALLY found a Machine that had a coffee pot WITH it! I was extatic! Plus it was a "Krups" which we all know that Krups Knows they're Coffee Machines. Do they even make anything OTHER than coffee...

Review of Krups Cafepresso 10 PLUS

COFFEE STAINED WORKTOPS.

Advantages: It was the right colour for my kitchen.
Disadvantages: Spills everywhere.

...?Coffee anyone?, I asked like the real hostess, proud of my new acquisition. It smelt really nice, freshly brewed and I was out to impress. No peasants instant coffee here. This was the real thing made with real coffee grains in my new Bright yellow coffee maker that blended in with my bright yellow and dark blue colour scheme. I thought it was a pretty cool gadget. It had a makers name that I trusted and I thought that I could not go far wrong with a purchase at £12.00 equivalent. Coffee makers tend to be on the cheap side in France, as they play an essential role in entertaining where instant coffee is not really an option. I took this little beastie out of its box, glanced at the instructions briefly (which were full and complete although idiots like me think they know what they are doing and tend to throw them away the first...

Review of Moulinex Solea Coffee Maker

Krups & Nescafe Make Great Coffee

Advantages: Nescafe Brand Coffee
Disadvantages: Availability Of Coffee Capsules

...Two of the biggest names in the Coffee business have joined forces again to create the Dolce Gusto coffee maker. Krups are already well known for making reliable coffee making machines, and by joining with Nescafe who, in my opinion, make the nicest tasting coffees - this machine got me interested straight away. Having opened the box - my first impression of the machine was that it was very simple in design but stylish at the same time. I went for the Black colour option, however there is also a Red and an Ivory option as well. All colour options have silver on them as well. The machine I purchased came with a FREE welcome pack which had a Latte Glass, Cappuccino cup with saucers and a variety of the coffee capsules, all in one box. Its a high pressure machine (14 bars pressure) with removable drip tray and a washable filter...
