Before I purchased this Krups XP2000 coffee machine, I did lots of research on similar priced models. Quite a lot of reviews commented on how poor the milk frother is, well, I actually find it's more than adequate. I use ice cold semi skimmed milk and get really good results. I have owned my machine for about 4 months and use it most days. The coffee it makes, whether espresso or filter, is wonderful (make sure you buy decent coffee in the first place though!). My Krups came with a free grinder too; you can't beat the flavour of freshly ground coffee.
It may have a couple of relatively minor faults, but overall I love this machine.
