Krups XP4020

Good – Great machine for the price. Perhaps not for the faint-hearted. Making great coffee from this machine is a bit of an art. Looks good, dirt cheap, mostly excellent coffee. Good crema.

So sad, I would pay double for something reliable looks good Can't froth milk....ever......leaks water. Three pieces of plastic broken off in a week. Drip tray stuck, takes 10 minutes to heat up. Frother doesn't work and is weak. After one espresso the drip tray is full and overflowing all over the bench.
