The Krups I own since about 6 months. Previously I had a simple Saeco. The Krups consumed little coffee as opposed to Saeco. However, I tasted the coffee with the Saeco prepared better. The Krups is ok and enough for two people. If I get guests but the capacity is insufficient. The constant tutelage what should be changed once again and the display, which makes the machine just is just annoying. After four to five cups of the lower shell has to be changed - which is then also really full of water. The shell for the ground coffee is good for at least 20 cups - still the Krups reports relentlessly after a few cups and will be emptied. The milk frothing is not really good. For this I use - when I have more time the frother my Bialetti. On the milk froth can park a coin.
Otherwise, there are high not have flaws, but - less technology would have been more -. Gadgets do not make good coffee.
The machine is only for patient people. Since I have paid a great price, I give three stars. At regular price it would be only two.
