Good Points

makes good espresso and excellent frothy milk


Bad Points

like many espresso machines its a fiddle to clean and it must be kept clean to work well.


General Comments

I have had this Krups F88041 Vivo machine a week and I am delighted with it. I bought it on price ( the cheapest machine I could find ) and on sipmplicty of functions.

The instructions are complex and the processes a little firghtening pressure water steam.....

Krupps obviously recognise that you will need to consult the instructions because the sheet is laminated! I photocopied it so I could pin up both sides at the momment the instructions are blue tacked to the kitchen wall.

The machine comes with two filter cups ( for two or one cup) a gadget for tamping down the coffee. When you need to clean the filter there is a neat thumb guard which helps hold the little filter dish in the handle.


On the box illustration there are two cute coffe cups and a little jug these do not come with the machine.

The machine is effective but a fiddle to use and to clean and I love it.

    I have been given a Krups Vivo but with no instructions, so am lost. After reading your review it seems not possible to figure out how to use it. Do you know where I may get a set of instructions please?
