Description of ☕ Krups XP3208 Opio Carob Coffee Maker in Sleek Black - Elevate Your Coffee Experience!
- The main advantage is the price. It works quite quietly, usually cheap machines make noise louder. Coffee brews quite well. Includes 2 metal inserts in the horn (for 1 or 2 cups of espresso). The cappuccino is also good, no complaints.
- For the first couple of weeks, there were puddles under the coffee machine, and not just pure water, but with an admixture of coffee (that is, the option "a tank of water is leaking" disappears). I tried for a long time to find where the leak came from, but I could not find it. The problem solved itself, no more leaks. Of the minuses of the design - a left-handed horn.
- large water tank, easy to refill
- not very convenient / logical switching coffee-cappuccino and vice versa. The coffee itself turns out to be watery, it strongly depends on the degree of grinding - you need to catch the moment when grinding, and most often it is either liquid or does not cook at all. The pump is rather weak, the grinding is a little finer - and does not spill through the horn at all.)
- Simple and convenient coffee maker. No extra features. The coffee is delicious. If you grind not "to the dust" - you get an excellent foam. A single serving of heated water is 330 ml, which is enough for a decent mug or a couple of cups. If you limit the pumping of water to 20 seconds, you get an excellent ristretto. Comes with 2 strainers for 1 and 2 cups. Which for 1 cup was not even used. The capacity for water is very decent volume, enough for 5-6 mugs.
- A little low. Not every mug fits under the horn. I had to sort through all the mugs in the house to find the right one. The water tank looks flimsy, you have to be careful.
- Simple, small size, quickly heats water, quiet operation of the pump, easy to wipe the body (smooth)
- Nasty, rattling sound of the lid of the water tank and cup holder (aluminum). It is inconvenient to wash the water tank (narrow and high) flimsy plastic.
- I brewed delicious coffee from a simple magnetic chibo. Foam for half a cup. Great design, looks good. Doesn't look bulky.
- Out of the box, it smells terribly of chemistry, Drops somehow leak, be sure to put on a litter. The power button is on the side, which is inconvenient.
