Title: Krups Espresso Maker - newest model
Product review: I was disappointed in this product and returned it. This new model of an old standby seemed not to be as well made as earlier models. The coffee bowl did not fit tightly in the maker and steam leaked out. Also the maker recommended that the coffee not be tamped down (as I have been doing for years), and indeed when I tried to tamp the coffee down in the bowl the steam made the coffee spurt up into the coffee maker and made a big mess. When not tamped down, the espresso was weak and not as tasteful. Finally, I did not like the split between the steam function and the espresso making function. All in all, I like the older models better.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
