good value, NOT
By T. Cather
UPDATEI originally wrote this in June; it is now November. In all fairness, I feel compelled to drastically downgrade my opinion of this device, for one reason- the steam wand will periodically blow off the machine, blasting your hand with live steam and throwing hot liquid everywhere. If you are lucky enough to escape a good scalding, it still takes about twenty minutes to clean up- and you still don't have any coffee. The wand is not clogged- I clean it carefully prior to each use- it just explodes.I WOULD SAY THIS UNIT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.(MY ORIGINAL REVIEW)I've owned the Krups XP2010, my 4th espresso machine, for about 12 weeks now, and am quite pleased with the performance to date. Initially, it took a bit of trial-and-error before I could produce an adequate espresso, but after some practice, I am easily making some of the best I've ever made in-house. One does have to learn proper technique, though.Things I like include the built-in water filtration system, the internal storage for filters, the overall solid construction, the ease of cleaning, and the small footprint. Although I am not particularly fond of the coffee quality in the various ESE pods which I have so far sampled, the ESE holder works very well, and does the best that it can with what it has to work with. With regular espresso-ground coffee, the 1- and the 2-shot filters work brilliantly, producing copious amounts of crema, and a shot in about 15-20 seconds.On the coffee side, the XP2010 works quite well, producing a nice clean cup in a minimum of time. Operation of the unit is simplicity itself; coffee in a filter, filter in basket, water in reservoir, push the blue 'on' button. The water is dispersed evenly over the grounds, while a water filter and no-drip system add to the over-all efficiency of the machine.I have not experienced any leaking on either the coffee nor the espresso side of the machine, although the XP2010 normally does expel excess steam at certain times in its various cycles. In addition, note that the drip-tray must be emptied from time to time.In the 'room for improvement' category, the XP2010 should, but doesn't, come with a 4-shot carafe and a stainless steel frothing pitcher.The steam/frothing wand is adequate, but barely - I produced better frothed milk with my old Krups Type 963.Krups advises, and I agree, that it is important to preheat the filter, demitasse, pitchers, etc.Overall, I am very pleased with my Krups XP2010, in terns of its functionality and construction; I am especially pleased with the quality of the espresso and coffee it consistently produces.

Excellent Combo Machine For The Money
By News Mania
I was looking for a combination espresso-coffee maker to fit a specific space in the kitchen. The width and heigth of the unit had to fit within that area. There aren't too many combo machines out there, but the Krups 2010 fits the bill perfectly. It's very quick at producing a good espresso and the coffee maker works great too, filling a 10-cup pot in less than nine minutes. One reviewer claimed the espresso head leaked. I haven't had that problem. Maybe he or she didn't tighten the head enough or they're tossing ESE pods in the filter holder without properly adjusting them. Who knows? I know you can spend a lot more for a standalone espresso machine, but for a combination espresso-coffee machine the Krups works just fine.

Espresso maker leaks
By L. Bautista
Searched for a long time to find a good quality espresso machine that didn't cost over $500. We had a great workhorse Krups combo espresso coffee machine that was still working after 15 years. Was hoping this one would be the newer, more powerful, fancier model. Boy are we sorely disappointed. The coffee part works fine. Unfortunately the espresso part leaks all over from the gasket and doesn't even produce hot espresso. I exchanged this once, hoping I just got a bad one but apparently the Krups XP2010 is designed badly. Shame on Krups for releasing a premature, untested product.
