Capable of making Filter, Espresso and frothy Cappucino at under £200. Apparently...
Started to disintegrate within months, died at 13 months. While it was working, the frothing nozzle was useless anyway.
Bought originally from John Lewis in December 2006, it made good filter coffee, and espresso, but the froth making nozzle always seems a bit pathetic, failing to froth milk to any discernable degree.
In fact, shaking the milk container did a better job...
After a few months, the fascia around the hotplate started flaking away in chunks, and then the on/off button LED failed, so it was hard to tell if it was on or off.
The coffee jug always dribbled as I poured, unless I was very very careful. What a pain, as my last machine, a £29 Morphy Richards didn't do this unless I was very hasty.
Overall, I was very underwhelmed with the longevity of this machine and would never buy another Krups again. I understand the later version was no better according to other 'net reviews, and mine was typical too.
A £29 machine would have done a better job (My old one still is...)
