New Krups coffee machine

Postby [DRuG]NikT on Sat Mar 07, 2009 3:09 pm

Well I gotta say, I've bought a lot of coffee machines, but I keep coming back to this model, so far I've bought 3... Eventually they start to screw up after a year or so, but the parts are available, for instance, you have to replace the rubber seal every 6 months... but at least it is self serviceable.. and the part is like $2. A lot of the others don't brew hot enough, so you end up with no crema on your coffee - just dark water right to the top. Main problem with this model is it doesn't steam fast enough, so it really takes some practice to get the milk frothy enough.

Price (I paid full retail, no time to shop around): $249 (you can get them commonly on special @ around $149)
Where: Harris Scarfe - Airport West
Rating **** (4 out of a possible 5 gooches)

I used to be a fanatic latte head but got slack after coming back from Thailand and have gone back to Ye Old stovetop.. but now I have a GOOD stovetop its OK:

One thing I like about this one is it is COMPLETELY steel.. no alumium. no plastic.. the only bit that isnt steel is the replacable rubber seal, so it should last forever.

I should get one of those stovetop steel latte makers though, it was cool.

I can understand that...

So the burning question is.. when are you getting the commercial grade coffee machine and what type/why???

OMFG you gotta be kidding me? You're targetting a gaming clan in your marketing pursuits.. I'm concerned.

Or are you a gamer, as well?
