I ordered this model recently and I am extremely disappointed (I mean it). - Flow of coffee very long time -1 minutes 40 for 2 small cups ("normal" times estimated at 45 seconds) - and poor flow-a small net, and when the drip! -. I called the customer service Krups, who confirmed that the flow time seemed unusually long. So I asked the exchange to Amazon. Even topo unfortunately for receiving the second espresso machine. This model obviously has a big problem with the coffee flow time and the quality of flow. I always had coffee makers Krups and I had never been disappointed before. But there, it is a total disaster. And considering the price (179 euros), it is a shame. I suggest you to go your way on this model. The quality Krups, apparently, changed over the years. I do not even know to what brand I going to turn to for an espresso machine worthy of the name.
