KRUPS XP7260 Compact Automatic Espresso Machine w/Cappuccino Silver Reviews & Tests

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Overpriced, underperforming

Grinds and then brews

Grinds only certain coffees well... this list is limited to Dunkin Donuts coffee. All other coffees require you to help the beans keep going into the grinder. ANY dark blend roast will not grind well. The cappuccino/steamer attachment is a joke at...

Great coffee, great service, iffy reliability

Although it hasn't been that reliable I give it 4 stars because I drink about 10 times the average coffee drinker )after 5 months the machine recorded 2300 coffee cycles) have to admit service was better than average and espresso is good (nice crema)

Makes great coffee, 4 settings - small espresso or strong espresso, 4 ounce coffee or double 4 once cycle (8 once). Auot wake and Sleep. Better than average service Courier picks it up and delivers it back to your home

Annoyed that it broke down twice. Leaking from the bottom. Sent in twice for what they call consierge service. 7-10 day turnaround on service

Makes a decent cup of coffee ; Convenient (much less messy than dealing with your own grinder) ; Small footprint (about the same as a plain espresso machine, but with a grinder included) ; Good customer service, very friendly and prompt with their...

Expensive ; Durability is questionable ; A known problem that requires fixing ; The glue that is used to hold the flowmeter on does not stand up to the cold. I found this out after sending the machine in for repair 3 times in the first month of...

Excellent Espresso

Maintenance nightmare! Defective due to grinder clogging issues.

I was in love with this machine for the first 18 mos. Then after a routine cleaning process, the entire machine had a melt down. Water leaked from the bottom, the grinder stopped, no espresso came out the spigots. This (of course) all happened after...
