KRUPS XP3208 Espresso Cappuccino 1 5 Liter Review

Was very good for 8 months but now it flows constantly. Apparently the seal no longer seals and cannot be replaced. Coffee splashes from a metal cup. Also, four months ago, the small bottom hole in the bottom of the metal cup holder got clogged and the coffee didn't flow out. I had to break the screen and use a pen to erase it. Please note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to clean the metal cup holder without completely disassembling it. And that requires removing three tiny screws.

This is a nice little espresso machine. My old Krups espresso machine has finally given up (after over ten years) and Krups is a trusted brand. I make espresso every day, so reliability is important to me. Small enough to sit on a small counter, this one is easy to use. There is a fountain with water, which is good. Makes a lot of foam (cream for you fans). I am very happy with it. Nothing special, just espresso and steam nozzle. Two small niggles that don't bother me - you have to stand by the

My first espresso resulted in an empty cup and a bad pump. I used Trader Joe's pre-ground espresso, which was standard finely ground espresso. When it was packed in a filter cup, it just couldn't push water through. Then I tried a standard coffee with a medium grind, and the espresso flowed like a waterfall. To my great surprise, it had an incredibly thick, rich crema and the espresso tasted great! The secret is to use a coarser grind than you think and it will turn out great. I have previously

This review is for the KrupsXP3208. First, follow all the instructions in the user manual carefully. Before first use, make sure clean water is running through the machine, do not overfill the ground coffee, and make sure the port filter is securely attached to the basket before brewing. I've watched several YouTube videos on how to brew the perfect cup of espresso, evenly and compactly (25-28 seconds per brew). While I'm not a big barista, in these videos I point out many things that aren't so

This is a test of the KRUPS XP3208 espresso machine. Anyway, I'm not a big espresso snob. I used to use a Krups steam espresso machine and hated the consistency of it. Decided to give it a try because of the price. I'm not going to be a barista, I just want espresso. And having said that, I think it's fantastic. Heats up quickly and fires consistently. There is no pressure setting, nothing special. Honestly, who cares. This works great. It is pump driven, heated and has a storage tank. In fact,

All I wanted to do was replace my KRUPS Espresso Mini which finally met its death after over twenty years of faithful brewing. I'm a brand loyalist so the XP33208 seemed to be sticking with KRUPS and a logical replacement. It is well designed, convenient to use and easy to clean. Not sure why the KRUPS engineers equipped it with such a large water tank as it can only brew two cups at a time and has NO auto shut off. So if you're not pouring in the exact amount of water you need, this baby…

Have been drinking Krups espresso since the 1990's. Bought to replace a machine I've been using for about 8-10 years. There were problems with brewing - too much foam/foam with the simple espresso preparation (WITHOUT frother). The manual didn't help, neither did the online support. Krups has NO customer service! Couldn't call her. They said no customer service reps due to Covid which is ABSURD for a large company 6 months into this pandemic. (Even small businesses have human customer service…

Great espresso machine from a great manufacturer! After doing some research I decided to give this a try based on the good reviews and previous experience with the Krups brand. They also have one of the best manufacturer warranties in the business! My only complaint about the machine is that the brew cup holds very little ground espresso; only enough for two small espressos. Unfortunately I had to make a double espresso for two every morning to make cafe con leche'. Unfortunately, the machine…
