Krups FNC Novo Coffee Maker

As with every coffee machine I've had and learned lessons from, I use filtered water in the Krups FNCI Novo coffee machine, and I always turn the froth nozzle on for a quick clear-out blast after I've made my coffee, to prevent old milk clogging inside. I don't think that the Krups Novo is any more prone to clogging than any other machine.

When my Krups FNCI Novo Coffee Maker machine worked, it worked well, although it was challenging to find coffee that produced the best taste. The milk frother was excellent, again when it worked. I had to keep poking a pin up into the nozzle as it occasionally got blocked due to dried milk. Often the water filtered through too quickly, not absorbing the flavour of the granules, but I guess that may be in part due to incorrect type of Coffee?

It only lasted 14 months, then died. It was then past its guarantee, so pointless to spend as much money as it cost in the first place to repair it. Had it repaired once during the first 12 months due to the frother stopping working.

I wouldn't recommend this machine, unless you were happy to risk having to buy a new one each year.
