I have purchased this machine 2 weeks ago and so far I am quite satisfied. I have not had any problems with leaking, the frother blowing off, lack of brewed coffee that the other individuals complained about. This is my second KRUPS expresso / coffee machine. The first one was a boiler unit on the expresso.
That machine lasted about 12 years.it actually still works but it needed descaling and I wanted a better machine with a pump expresso which produces the crema that I did not get with my boiler unit. I must admit the frothing was a bit better on the older unit. I am still learning with this new unit and experimenting but I have not had any problems. I can’t believe KRUPS would continue to make faulty products.that would be the death of their business. I am hoping I do not have the problems that some of the other individuals had. What sold me was the fact I owned one before and it lasted for many years. My only regret was I did not descale enough otherwise my machine would still be working like new.
Believe me I was a little hesitant by reading the bad reviews but their were good reviews as well and I guess as humans we always remember the bad ones.
