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

  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...

Review of Krups GVX231

She gives really good head.....

Advantages: Good build quality, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Still £130 for a coffee machine!!!!

...of quality, a no nonsense espresso machine. Her name? A bit weird I thought, it?s Krups Novo 3100 ProCrema! Don;t these coffee machines have funny names. But after introductions she became just Krupsy to me. So what made her stand out from the crowd of coffee machines. Well, it?s difficult to say. She seemed classy without being overbearing and brash, a sort of subtle beauty, you know the sort, beautiful without making any real effort. She also had lots of substance, take her coffee holder for instance, on most of the other models I saw the coffee holders seemed very flimsy, all light and airy fairy, even on the most expensive machines, yet Krupsy had a very solid coffee holder, very strong and durable. She also did a neat trick with her coffee holder. Rather than just having a line to show you how much coffee to add for different...

Review of Krups FNC2 NOVO

I use a novo pen but it is not a medicine

Advantages: Easy to use, easy dial up
Disadvantages: if you dial up too much you can only change to a smaller unit by releasing excess units

...I have been diabetic for 9 years, and when I came across novo pen in here I thought "wow that's what I use" then I began to think well maybe there's a drug for something else called novo pen as It is under prescription drugs, so if I am wrong then just let me know. Well when I first got diagnosed with diabetes I had to use normal injections. I was then put on a pen but it kept braking. So the last time I was getting my check up they put me on the novo pen. I did not have to pay anything for my novo pen due to the fact that I get them free at the diabetic clinic. So I am unsure of how much they are if you need to purchase them. It comes in a great case that has a compartment for the pen, a slot to put an insulin cartridge and a slot to put spare needles. It is very easy to put things in and out of it. The pen itself is made...

Review of Novo Pen

Logitech DiNovo Edge

Advantages: Looks, feel, touch pad, orange lights, battery life
Disadvantages: Price, lack of number pad, finger-print magnert

...Been using this keyboard for a few hours now, and I am very impressed. I first saw this keyboard on the youtube channel 'Maxishine'. However, when I looked at prices of over £100, I didn't bother. The keyboard I have at the moment broke when I acidentally spilt a drink on it, and so I needed a new one. I went on Amazon.co.uk and although it was still £79.99, I bought it as a little treat for me. This keyboard would be fantastic for anyone who uses their computer with a HD tv due to it's inbuilt track pad. Some people I know have their computer plugged into their TV and they sit on the couch with wireless keyboards and mice. I could never do this comfortably and I needed to be at a desk. However, at the moment I have my PC connected to my TV and I am using the DiNovo Edge quite comfortably. Typing on this keyboard is quite nice, the key...

Review of Logitech diNovo Edge - keyboard , touchpad

Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser

Advantages: Ergonomic, rich functions, innovative
Disadvantages: High price

...I consider Logitech to be one of the best manufacturers of input devices and I have been using their products for years. So I would like to give you my own perspective as a professional and a consumer. A couple of years ago I was looking for a wireless keyboard/mouse solution with a mouse power adapter. The diNovo media desktop just came out that year and I was well impressed by its slick design and excellent features. However, its price was an issue, as it was about 3 times more expensive than other similar solutions on the market at that time. As a Logitech product fanatic I finally decided to give it a go. So I took it back to my office and I set it up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Keyboard...

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

Like Cleopatra I bathed in milk

Advantages: great if you can use it
Disadvantages: sprays walls

...I wasn't very impressed by this machine. I bought it because I love Cappuchino Coffee. There are much cheaper machines on the market and I could have got one for just £23 but I chose this one for £88, thinking it would be easier to use and with it havings the Krups brandname, I expected it to be hardwearing and efficient. The instructions aren't very clear at all. I'm not exactly stupid but I got myself in a real mess with machine. There was coffee and milk sprayed everywhere. What a mess the wall by the sink in my kitchen was. I did manage to operate the steam arm and produce a gorgeous, frothy hot chocolate, but I just couldn't get away with the rest. Yes, I could do it and make a decent cuppa, but the mess was awful and it took too long. The steam nozzle could be dangerous if you aren't careful. I got sprayed with steaming...

DiNovo Desktop Stylin...

Advantages: Sleek and sexy
Disadvantages: Hefty price

...Gone are the days of those horribly beige keyboards and mice with wires that just won't be tidied and with the introduction of this complete wireless Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse package that not only looks good but feels spectacluar, Logitech have come up trumps with the DiNovo Desktop package. This is an incredibly well designed product and its elegance does not outweigh its functionality. The package contains one Dinovo Keyboard, one Logitech MX900 Mouse and one very innovative seperate Media Pad (with an LCD display) all equiped with Bluetooth 1.2 for communication with the external USB Bluetooth Hub (the receiver). This hub also doubles up as a charger cradle for the mouse. Logitech were also kind enough to supply me the batteries needed to power all this kit, which is handy as the requirements are: Keyboard = 4 x AA Batteries...
