The Krups Gusto was made between 2000 and 2004, and was considered one of the better Krups espresso machines during that time.

Bottom Line: Cheap POS good for 2 years, if you live near a service center.

Bottom Line: A touch of a lightweight machine, but will serve the beginner well, and first rate as a back up machine if the big momma machine croaks on ya

Bottom Line: Great for learning to make espresso. Terrible for milk-based drinks, or any kind of volume brewing.

Bottom Line: very good beginners machine, but only for pulling single short espresso shots. Just the way they should be.

Bottom Line: Good Budget Entry, but you will need to learn the tricks to get decent espresso and microfoam milk, However Gaggia Careezza are pretty cheap now on ebay
