I own a Krups machine that is both a coffee maker and an espresso machine. It is finally starting to ‘kick the bucket’ and I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on a replacement model. While I was OK with the Krups one, the espresso side of it wasn’t all that hot, literally. I’m not looking to spend more than 0 on both things. Do you know of a good coffee/espresso machine, or should I get seperate ones? If so, are there any brands or types recommended within that price range? Thank you!

I own a Westbend combination espresso/coffee maker which has been used almost daily for the last 3 years. (I know, I’m suprised too considering its hardly high end) Its worked very well but at this point the poor machine is just worn out, and I’m looking to get a new one.
I used to be a barista and I enjoy tamping my own espresso shots. My roommates like a good pot of regular coffee in the morning. Thus my ideal combination machine would have a drip coffee function, manual espresso function (not automatic), and a steaming nozzle. Things like automatic shut off are great too.
My problem is there doesn’t seem to be a great amount of decent combination machines out there. I’m seeing alot of Deloughi and Krups combination models and they’re all getting HORRIBLE user reviews (breaking after a few months, leaking water, etc). While I can’t spend 00 on a professional model, I’d like the model I buy to not break on me after 2-3 months. And due to lack of electrical outlets and counter space, Its not an option to buy a separate espresso machine and separate coffee maker. Please no recommendations for stovetop espresso machines; they’re adorable but I don’t have that kind of time in the mornings.
Thanks!

I have a black Krups Capuccino/Espresso machine that is only about 6 months old. I have run vinegar through it multiple times, and descaled it with water, yet the steam frothing pipe will not unclog! It has reached a point where nothing comes out of the frother, and I have to release the pressure by forcefully opening the top of the coffeemaker.

Just a simple video making a cappuccino (latte style – milk first for layering) with my Dolce Gusto. I had a Tassimo, but did not like the chemical tast from the milk discs and the Dolce froths so much better and tastes great!

I dont know if this is the proper forum to be posting this.

Im in a dilemma, I wanted to purchase my brother an espresso machine for Christmas but have no clue what to look for.

How to make espresso coffee and lattes with a Krups 964 espresso machine

I have a Krups XP5020 consumer grade semi-auto Espresso Machine.

I have to say that it is pretty decent but it is still a consumer grade machine.

It has a"fool-proof" milk frother enhancer (warning! warning!).

Anyhow, sometimes (only sometimes), it CAN produce decent microfoam with half and half milk. But lately, it could not foam for nuts. I thought the rubber bung that lets the air in might be stuffed up so I used a needle to clean it. Could not see through the hole so I used a small toothpick. I think it was a mistake. Coz now it foams but it make large bubbles instead of the microfoam I need.

Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Aside from getting a new machine coz I AM working on that.

Thank you.

betterguideforyou.com — Top Choices Of Espresso Machines Excellent value for the price About a year ago I wanted an espresso machine that was easy to use, however I was unwilling to pay 1k or more for a fully automatic machine. The Capresso turned out to be an excellent value, providing ease of use with semi-automatic ground disposal and a reasonably sized water container. In fact, we have experienced only two problems with the Capresso since we bought it: a torn o-ring and clogging. The o-ring tore because I did not clean the rotation mechanism for several months. The accumulated grounds eventually tore into the o-ring, breaking the pressure seal. However, when I called the Capresso help line to discuss our broken o-ring, the help desk agent immediately sent us two replacements in the mail with no questions asked. Total down time for the machine was a mere two days. The clogging was fixed with a complete cleaning, and if truth be told, it did say in the instruction booklet not to use very finely ground coffee. Our last espresso machine, besides breaking after two years, was so difficult to use and clean we only made espresso on special occasions. The Capresso is convenient enough that we use it all the time. In fact, we have used our Mr. Coffee only twice (note the broken o-ring comment above) since we bought the Capresso. After a year of use, I can still strongly recommend this product. To get more about espresso machine, please visit : betterguideforyou.com

betterguideforyou.com — Getting The Best Coffee Machine Absolutely the best!!! Has anyone ever gone to a diner, coffee shop or convienence store and drank the coffee and wondered how you can make this excellent tasting coffee at home? Well I have and I have to say that after going through 6 or more coffee devices, percolators, drip and yes even was desperate by drinking instant, I’ve finally found the one machine that duplicates the rich and wonderful taste that you find in the diner, coffee shop etc. I’m in heaven! It’s very easy to use if you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Yes, the reservoir is always on keeping water hot, unless you don’t plan on using it for a few days. But it makes sense since it seems this is the best way to maintain that critical temperture you need to make that rich flavored cup. I’m sure there are other machines that can do this as well, but I’ve been through enough of them and almost gave up because of the disappointed flavor I was getting. I’ve had Farberware percolators which came the closest to what I was looking for but sometimes I left it on… gooey mess at the bottom of the machine and a major clean up. The last machine was a Cusinart, that stainless steel machine that basically was just to look nice on the counter. The coffee was horrible and never hot enough. I gave up at that point and went to Folgers instant, which tasted better than that Cusinart machine. I decided to give it one more try and I’m ecstatic that I did. I even used some old …

hi! I have a krups esresso machine model FND111 that i had gotten at a rummage sale but it didn’t come with any manual. could you pplease help me look at a free manual on the internet on a website that will show me how to use it. PLEASE help!!!

I bought a used Krups combination espresso and coffee machine that came with all the parts but without the instructions for use. The only numbers I can find on it at 1108HT and Krups type 171. Can you help me? Thanks.

I just bought a 4-cup coffee maker to replace my broken Krups. The directions mentioned that, before making the first cup of coffee, I should run water through the system first. I did this, but even after a month of using the coffee maker every day, the coffee tastes like plastic. I’ve been using the same filters, water, and coffee as I did in my old machine, so it has to be the new coffee maker. How do I get the plastic taste out of my coffee?

I am hoping to spend 0- 200. Some brands I have seen on eBay: DeLonghi, Nespresso, Krups, Gaggia, and Mr. Coffee.
Please help! This is an anniversary gift for my husband.

I have a simple Krups pump espresso machine. I know it needs a decalcifier, and I have found a few cleaning solutions on amazon.com, but what do I do once I get it?

I plan to purchase this one: Durgol 0296 Express Multipurpose Decalcifier
Does that one work well? If not, let me know what does. Thanks!
