I'm not being a specialist in beer machines, I must admit that I was impressed with this Krups machine. Upon unpacking, it is a feeling of solidity and quality that prevails (aluminum-based design, the machine also displays a nice weight). It not only makes an excellent effect in the kitchen (spacious), but in addition it accomplishes its mission without problems: deliver very fresh and well frothy beers. The use is quite intuitive, even for me who knew nothing about beer cartridges say "Torps". The drain pan is well thought out, as is the entire machine: Krups we feel that looked at the ergonomics as well as on features. Of course, the price of the machine is a little high, like that beer cartridges: it is a choice that beer lovers will weigh. But when you're an amateur, so do not deny it, and all the beer lovers should find their account. Recommended.
