Krups Orchestro 889 Espresso Machine Reviews & Tests

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Great machine when it works.

I received my Orchestro 2 years ago as a retirement gift. It worked well, producing great tasting coffee whenever a cup of coffee was desired. One complaint is that the coffee was warm, not hot, and it was necessary to warm the cups before making the ...

Easy to use, great tasting coffee, easy to clean.

Broke twice. Sending it to New Jersey for repair a major expense. Poor customer support.

Industrial strength Krups.

I used to be a big fan or Krups until I started looks at espresso machines outside of department stores. After that they all seemed to be good looking, yet poorly working appliances for the kitchen. The Orechestro made me rethink things a bit.

Slick industrial design, fully automatic.

Better values out there, another relabeled machine.

Espresso ... Easy & Express

When traveling in Switzerland a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon an incredible thing at a client's office... the Jura E50 Super-Automatic espresso machine. I was impressed- not just with the stylish looks, but with the ease, quickness, and zero clean-up....

Easy, stylish, automatic, excellent quality beverage, perfect froth

Expensive (but worth it, imho)
