Bottom Line: The Krups Model XP4050 is attractive with the blue indicator lights set against the stainless steel, but not a reliable machine.

Bottom Line: Horrible machine for the $150 price it carries. More water than steam comes out of the steaming pipe.

Bottom Line: If you have a small budget consider this machine, Its worth the $150 I spent. I prefer it over the 800ESXL

Bottom Line: Loud? Yes. Vibrate Enough to Make the Shot Glasses Dance Right Off the Drip Tray Cover? You Bet. But, oh, how sweet it is...

Bottom Line: What I thought might be an extravagance is now an everyday part of my life. How did I ever live without an expresso maker?

Bottom Line: bad technical quality and reliability. Do not buy.
Ian McTavish (quality: 6.7) 07.06.2006 Rating: 3.2

Bottom Line: I would NEVER buy a Krups product again based on the "head in the sand" attitude of the NZ Krups agent (especially any that are manufactured in China)

Bottom Line: A risky purchase, but maybe worth it to get the free Krups grinder? When it works, the machine makes great coffee and froth, but it will let you down when you are dying for a coffee!

Bottom Line: Great design & functionality. Good domestic espresso machine for the price.
