Krups Bravo 871-42 Espresso Machine

Pros: Its having a coffee shop at your finger tips and a savings too
Cons: Nothing

No long lines to stand in or being late to work while you wait for that morning espresso,latte, cappuccino. All done at home or in your office at work. Just fix and wait for few minutes and its done. This machine does it all. Has a boiler system let ...

Pros: Makes reasonable espresso, especially for the price. Compact design.
Cons: Compact design cramps frother. Doesn't finish with rich "crema" like a pump-driven machine.

I'm a coffee addict - I've got a Melita grind 'n brew that starts every morning with a pot of fresh-ground joe to down before my commute to work each morning, and this little gem (received as a birthday gift) in my...

Pros: Easy to use. Quality espresso. Steams efficiently. Four-cup quantity. Reasonably priced.
Cons: Directional guide is confusing. The nozzle gets extremely hot and sometimes clogs.

I have relied on Starbucks and other local cafés to get my espresso fix, until my husband purchased the Krups Espresso Bravo machine for my birthday. Now, I can indulge in a great espresso or cappuccino at my every whim! The machine is small enough to...

Pros: Compact. Simple.
Cons: Clogs. Many parts are easy to misplace

I got this espresso maker for my birthday a year ago. My girlfriend and I had been drinking a lot of the stuff and I'm sure you know how much it costs. A home espresso maker is a great way to save money and experiment with different kinds of espresso...

Pros: Decent cup of capuccino, fairly inexpensive, takes up little countertop space.
Cons: Develops pressure leaks after about two years of daily use.

We've owned three of these Krups 871 espresso and capuccino machines. After about two years of twice-daily use, they tend to develop pressure leaks: then the steam nozzle no longer works very well and the coffee comes out tepid. ...

Pros: save money on coffee shops, prepare coffee as you like it not as it's sold
Cons: doubt if it builds up proper pressure, not sure if what I saw was crema

I have purchased my Krups Espresso machine about a month ago, which is not too long a time to really evaluate this product, but I am happy to announce that at least so far I've had no problems with it. Previously, I had this cheap dripping machine, which ...

Pros: Price, size, safety, effectiveness.
Cons: None, really, as I said

Highly recommended. (I wrote all this before but then saw I'd written it as a comment to some else's review (newbyitus), so I'll do it again.) I love this little masterpiece & the minds that created it. Small, cheap, sturdy, foolproof ...

Pros: Small size Great espresso simple to use easy to clean
Cons: metal parts stain easily noisy

I was looking for a relatively inexpensive pump machine because the consumers magazine said they are the only ones that make acceptable espresso. My wife bought this for my birthday so I gave it a try. I was surprised. It makes espresso equaling the...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: No crema.

Don't expect restaurant quality espresso from this machine.

Being naive in the espresso realm, I asked for an espresso machine as a gift and I got it... now I know that I should have been more specific. The machine works great, just as...

Pros: Compact,affordable,good taste
Cons: Cleaning the milk of the steamer. (Just minor)

I purchased the Espresso/Cappuccino Machine for my son for Christmas. We live in a rural area so all we have to compare the taste with is the instant machines at the local hardware and gas station. This is far superior to taste of these machine. The neighbors all think its fantastic and instead of regular coffee or tea when they drop in we now have upgraded the neighborhood to Cappuccino.
