Good Points

15 millibars!!
Did I say 15 millibars?
15 MILLIBARS!!
Oh yeah, and a relatively decent milk frother too.
Also very reliable (I know of two other people with one, no problems whatsoever)
...errr... and 15 millibars.


Bad Points

No bad points. None. No really, it works, I've had one for years and it does everything it claims to far better than the competition in it's price range!


General Comments

The Krups F88041 Vivo is one of the best value coffee makers I have ever seen if you are an espresso lover! You need high pressure (to push the steam through the ground coffee) and get those wonderful oils out of the coffee (those lighter coloured surface oils you get on the top of a great espresso) and this is the only coffee maker at this price range to offer a whopping 15 millibars - compare that to competition of around 2-3.8 millibars (from what I've seen) - and therefore can properly acheive this! Really, if you are considering another coffeemaker (unless you are forking out a real lot of cash...) you aren't thinking straight!

The graphite/silver one looks better than the black one in my opinion :)

(Service and Support rating is assumed - never had to use it :D)
