This was our third AND FINAL Krups machine. The original and best died when the bottom of the box we were moving it in fell out and it smashed on the floor :(. This one leaked into the bottom tray from new and the extent of the leakage increased over time until finally, it must have blown its gasket (see other reviews) and leaked 100%, no longer capable of producing coffee or steam. It would not have been so bad had the float in the tray actually worked and given us imminent warning that a... (read more)

I bought my Krups XP4020 Espresso Machine & Coffee Maker a couple of years ago and for a while I loved it. I only use it for espresso and it seemed to do a good job. But now the filter basket leaks steam and hot water badly; and although I've changed the gasket it remains unusable. I've read around the internet and this seems to be a common problem.
So never again Krups...

Sorry but my Krups XP4020 Espresso Machine & Coffee Maker was a complete disaster. I think it might have been the gasket that went (the main brewing area?) It only lasted under a year and when I contacted Krups they said I had no comeback because I bought it from Ebay beware! Am a bit peeved. (read more)
“Avoid this Krups XP4020 if you like good cappuccinos,...”
Written on: 14/01/2009 by rbrooks (2 reviews written)
Avoid this Krups XP4020 if you like good cappuccinos, as the milk frother loses steam flow part way through the frothing process. This is due to the delayed response of the thermostat, so boiler is late switching on as the temperatue falls. The milk froth consistency is therefore poor - not a dense creamy froth. But good for espresso coffees. I took mine straight back to Lewis's. (read more)

This is my second Krups XP4020 (the first one went back to the shop within a week as the gasket died!) and the last! It's slow to heat up, you have to sit and watch it, whilst turning the knob various times in order to get to the heat stage you want; the frother nozzle pops off into the milk jug often, because it over-pressurises, sometimes it 'thinks' it's at temperature, then it changes its mind and just delivers brown water.
Spend a few quid extra, I wish I would have done in the first...

Like other reviews i agree its noisy but so is a kettle or the tefal quick cup. To produce boiling water that fast i think that its going to be noisy. I wouldn't say it vibrates like other review stated and you certainly don't need to hold the cup! I think for the price this is a very nice piece of kit that does the job in hand. (read more)

I find my Krups XP4020 is noisy - leaks - very poor mat producing creamy frothy milk. No warning when out of water. Switching from Steam mode to coffee mode producers alarming amount of noise and steam! Not recommended (read more)

“The pump makes a horrible noise. ”
Written on: 30/12/2007
The pump makes a horrible noise.
- Worst than that, I would argue the machine vibrates so badly that one must hold the coffee cup.
- It doesn't warn you that the water reservatoir is empty, and it continues to work.
