Krups XP 5210 Espresso Machine Piano 15 bar, 1 L water tank for pads, black - stainless steel (houseware)

Customer Review

Since I had prepared many years with one of the predecessors of Krups espresso my / latte, I have spontaneously decided to perform an "Update".
Handling and operation are comfortable. The automatic proof and also the ejection system are a fine thing. The Espresso is pretty hot and tastes great!

Unfortunately, the Milchschaumdüse can not act as usual. This has far too great a discharge opening which causes the milk to be fast-foamed with very large bubbles without really hot. (Is like a famiy in the milk blow) for a small amount (Cappuccino) suitable for larger cup / glass latte a cruelty (previously made loose a quarter liter of milk really hot when Aufschäumbehäter where and excellent foam was produced ,
I can not say that cleaning is in any case done in a few steps over the life of the nozzle at this time.

The preheat the cup by a blank run is unfortunately not as expected. The water needs through the empty portafilter felt as long as through the coffee. After switching off the filter holder is still full of water, which drips through slowly. In the subsequent coffee making so little caution, because even can be hot water in the carrier.

It remains to be seen how the machine proved itself in further operation. Currently, I am very satisfied with small drawbacks.

UPDATE

Now, after more than 5 months in the daily operation of the assessment must be clearly revised downwards.
I find it very annoying to receive no uniform Espresso pass through both processes. The preparation of two cups is not possible simultaneously.

However, the more important and crucial reason is the lack of foam die. This is, as already written a few other reviews, is now defective.
The plastic parts keep the pressure and the temperature was not! (Plastic on metal thread)

I'll return the machine.
