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...

Review of Magimix Nespresso M200

Nespresso is cool

Advantages: Great tasting coffe in an flash
Disadvantages: The capsules are expensive

...Our family was kindly given a Nespresso machine for christmas, and since then we have proudly become addicts. A well crafted, futuristically designed unit with good water capacity. The system is easy to use, apart from the steam heating system for the milk which requires two switches to be operated one after the other instead of just pressing one button. Apart from that, the system is a doddle to operate. Simply fill up the jug, then take one of the capsules (there are loads of different flavours you can order online), lift the lid with the cool lever at the fromt and the machine opens its "mouth" for you. Pop in the capsule upsidedown (each capsule looks like a milk-carton you get on trains, etc) and close the lid. This pierces the capsule. Next, you pull the top lever forward and the water courses through the capsule, gurgling...

Krups Kettle

Advantages: Good Looking, well built, respected German manufacturer
Disadvantages: The on/off switch can be a little stubborn at times

...This is my first Krups appliance. I bought this one in John Lewis last year for £42 when I was looking for a new kettle. I noticed that most kettles these days are chrome or white or stainless steel. My last kettle was metal and a nightmare to keep looking pristine so this time I wanted something different. Of all the models I saw, this one stood out. I always trust John Lewis as they hand pick the bottom, middle and top of the range of most appliances - this was in the middle category. The black plastic with opaque window running vertically with water guage is very sleek. There is a chrome plasic lid which locks into place (good safety feature) and a trigger on the handle which pulls back a flap of plastic in the spout so that when you pour, the water comes our evenly, and is less likely to rush out an spill (like most other...

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

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...

Review of Krups KP 2000

Boteramp talks about the Krups 897

Advantages: Ease of use, perfect coffee, great for frothing milk.
Disadvantages: Hard to use a mug for coffee

...Was looking for a "normal" coffee machine (can't spell capucinno) - see, and checked out the Nespresso macines - quite by accident. Easy to use, great coffee and great choice !! No mess either. At first I was not impressed by the cost of the capsules (64c each) but after talking about other machines / grinders / clean up / bar pressure / timing and practice I was dubious I could produce the "great coffee I enjoyed at my local shops. I knew the Nespresso tasted great and I knew I could do it myself - everytime!!! THAT WAS WORTH 64c each time. Come to think of it - at my friends houses with coffee machines - none of them are really THAT nice a cup of coffee. After a little thought over a nice skinny latte I realised it is all about the taste - Nespresso had it !!! Simple. There were several machines BUT the Krups 897 had...

Review of Krups F 897

siemens tk 70 nespresso coffee machine

Advantages: sleek design german build quality
Disadvantages: hot plate a bit small and coffee outlet cannot be adjusted

...This is a lovely coffee machine, I bought to replace an older nespresso machine I had. The nespresso system uses capsules of ground coffee so this gives an excellent quality every time, There are twelve different blends to choose from and often a few special varieties. Christmas last year they had chocolate orange scented coffee. The nespresso system may be fairly expensive compared to bean to cup but you don't get the bitterness and its consistantly good The build quality is excellent, and the steam charges up very quickly. It has an ingenious milk frothing attachment, witch can be altered to give latte or cappaccino. The coffee capsule when inserted glides into the machine and fresh hot coffee pours from the nozzle. For the amount of functions this machine is very compact and looks very good with the amber backlight...

Krups Vivo

Advantages: Simple easy to clean system, seperate water resevoir
Disadvantages: None

...with this Behemoth Computer (screen at least) I don't have much room for a big monster of a coffee machine. So I went for the Krups Vivo.. When I used to live with my folks in Costa Rica, we had a machine which was of much inferior quality and among one of the annoying things was the fact that you had to unscrew the boiler top to add more water, which meant that if you wanted to cater for more people it took an eternity to wait for the pressure and temperature to decrease enough to refill each time. The Vivo gets over this really easily by having a removable water resevoir at the back, connected by a valve. You just open the lid, take it by the handle, pull it out and fill it at the sink. Alternatively, if you are in the process of making coffee or steam, and you notice the water level is dropping (it is transparent) you can open the top...

Review of Krups FNC2 NOVO

Magimix Nespresso M150 coffee machine

Advantages: perfect cup everytime packed full of features for a low cost machine
Disadvantages: a little complicated to use to start with

...I have an earlier nespresso machine and have been very impressed with the coffee, so I bought my dad one for his birthday. I knew I wanted a reasonably priced machine which one I wasn`t sure which one. I went into my local house of fraser and found the Magimix M150 in the sale for £77 Bargain! The machine is basic looking, but very functional and simple to use. It heats up very quickly, and has a cup heater also can froth milk and produce hot water. Great for americano`s and cappuccino`s! The pod holder can be a little bit tricky to use to start with after a while it becomes second nature The pods are bought on the net from nespresso`s website you need to try a few to find your favourite, they cost about 23p each compare that to a coffee from starbucks its not bad value. Tip- Always use filtered water to prolong...
