| linzjupiter's Full Review: Krups Bravo Plus 872 Espresso Machine |
I bought this for my parents' 30th wedding anniversary, as my mum had become recently addicted to lattes. I didn't want to spend too much as I figured it might be a passing fancy. So I spent $100 at Sears on the Bravo Plus.
Sure enough, my mum made no effort to learn how to use it, and I took it home with me about 6 months later.
Seven years later it still makes great espresso and lattes. I use it at least once a day... so it's made at least 2500 lattes over its lifetime. I use a certain absurdly popular coffee bar's ground espresso in it, and it turns out even better in my machine than at the store.
My glass carafe finally broke today after 7 years, and I ordered a replacement online. It should arrive in a couple of weeks. Hopefully my Bravo Plus will still be kicking it for years to come.
