Krups Espresso machine type 880

Advantages: Good espresso, good pump pressure
Disadvantages: Not easy to use

...The Krups espresso machine cost £80.00 when I purchased it from a local store. It comes with a coffee holder and a frother. The coffee holder is generally good, it comes with two seperate strainers, one for 1 cup and the other for 2 cups. It has been known for the coffee holder to "pop" out of place if not secured very tightly. This causes very hot water and coffee to explode all over the immediate area. Part of the reason for the holder coming out of place is that the whole unit vibrates so much when pumping that it works its way around the worktop if not held down while it pumps. The frother that it uses is attached by means of a rubber cap that houses a small tube. The tube has a small platic part with a reduced diameter hole at the end. This part got lost down the sink in a short space of time, rendering the frother part useless...

Review of Krups F88042 VIVO

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

  Obsession and Krups Nova 2100 Espresso maker.

Advantages: Beginning to make the very best coffee in the world
Disadvantages: Instructions & pathetic warming plate

..., espresso. It may well be a quantum leap up from lowlier coffee drinks, but compared to true, well made espresso it still has a very long way to go. This will also be true of those various espresso gadgets that you put on the hob in the hope that they will gush coffee in that split second before they explode. Lets be fair, it can be very good coffee, but espresso it ain?t. Pumping it up. So finally we get to high-pressure pumped espresso machines, and in particular the Krups Novo 2100 Plus 962. Pretty and unusual name, don?t you think?.shame we?re not intending to have any more children. Half-way decent ones are unfortunately around the £100 mark and the Novo is no exception, though I bought this new, unused and boxed on eBay for £64 +£2.95 p&p. This price makes my coffee taste ever better. Similar machines seem to come up...

Review of Krups FNC2 NOVO

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...

Delonghi EC330S Espresso Machine

Advantages: well priced, very easy to use
Disadvantages: steam arm is temperamental

...I bought the Delonghi EC330S after realising I was slowly emptying my bank account paying for numerous Starbucks' every week (even more after they opened one a two minute walk from my flat). Definite plus point in its appearance, it looks stylish and fits in well in modern kitchens especially. It does make good coffee, and although you need to warm the machine up, once you're used to doing this it really isn't a hassle. Although the previous reviewer recommended stocking up on pods, I would advise anyone to either buy coffee beans and a grinder or buy fresh coffee ground for espresso machines, as pods don't really make the most of having a machine such as this. A disadvantage of having this product are the steam arm is very temperamental and sometimes just doesn't emit much steam (despite being thoroughly cleaned). Also, if...

Review of Delonghi EC330S

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

A Super Espresso Machine

Advantages: Very stylish and easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...The Delonghi EN 680 Latissima Nespresso can create a more or less perfect cup if espresso. It is completely unique with it's patented extraction to aid the flow of water through the ground coffee. Nespresso's specially designed coffee-filled capsules are used to give the unique taste you only get with Nespresso. A bit pricey at £300 but certainly a long term investment. Style The Latissima Nespresso is very stylish (see picture) and is a great add to any kitchen. The silver and black frame works very well together and the buttons make the machine very high tech when it is actually very easy to use. Ease of Use The Latissima Nespresso is very easy to use, just as easier or maybe even easier than other espresso makers - simply insert a capsule and the machine does all the work for you. After brewing is completed...

Review of Delonghi EN 680 Lattissima Nespresso

Krups yummy frothy coffee machine

Advantages: Posh coffee in your own home
Disadvantages: To get more pods you have to travel to London, or order via the internet.

...This machine along with the wide variety of nespresso coffee pods available makes superb coffee AND you can get top notch frothy milk from the machine as well!! What more could you want???!!! Making the coffee is virtually mess free and there is only a little wiping up to do afterwards. The cup size is either espresso size, or 'lungo' size which is only a little bit bigger than an espresso, so you can easily drink several cups worth in one go if you are a coffee freak like me!! This is something that nespresso, who make the pods for this machine, could perhaps work on as I find my coffee finishes before I am ready for it to finish if you know what I mean?! Anyway the different varieties available are diverse - from very strong, to very weak, and you can also get a couple of type of decaffeinated which also taste just as good...

Review of Krups F 874

Best home espresso machine I have ever had

Advantages: Looks great, heavy duty, relatively easy to use, authentic Italian, Good customer service
Disadvantages: Can be messy

...bar pump with a solenoid valve which makes a truly great espresso with a good thick cremá. You can switch the machine to the steam mode and after a short delay the steam ready light will illuminate. It will then give a powerful amount of steam which steams and froths milk very quickly and gives great results every time for cappuccino or latté. The cup warming tray on top of the machine is useful and easily accommodates 5 espresso cups. I use the machine several times every day and it performs flawlessly every time. It really is built to last. I have had Krups espresso machine previously which worked fine for about 16 months until some of the plastic parts cracked. All of the parts which receive use on this machine are heavy duty. I believe the RRP for this machine is £279 - £295 according to the Gaggia UK website. Selfridges...
