Title: Broke after 1 Year
Product review: Coffee maker side works well. One gripe is that the carafe design is severely flawed so it's impossible to pour a cup of coffee without spilling everywhere. After 1 year, coffee maker side still works but espresso & frother don't. The pump turns on now and doesn't shut off when we switch on the espresso side and the reservoir that catches drips just fills with water in a matter of seconds and floods the countertop. No espresso or foam can be produced. It's a shame because this machine made an excellent cup of espresso while it worked and we really loved how easy it is to use. The frother was not as powerful as we'd hoped so we had to froth the milk at least twice to get a nice foam for cappuccinos, but in the end they tasted great. My father owns an expensive Gaggia machine and said that the espresso from my Krups actually came out better than his. I just wish it had lasted longer. I'd expected a lot more from a trusted name like Krups and for the price of the machine.
