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: Never buy this machine again. The Krups 4020 is what appears a bottom of the market machine
