Title: Krups FND111 no 871
Product review: Just been using this FND111 as a replacement for a Krups 871 I've had for the last three years and I can't say I'm impressed.The main issue with this machine is the pressure. It's insufficient to the task. I like a fine grind and usually make 2 espressos at a time; one for me and one for the my SO.The 871 would spit out a full caraffe in about 3 minutes. The FND111 spits out about half a caraffe then seems to not be able to do the rest lending a burnt flavor to what does dribble out over the course of 5 - 8 minutes. Way, way to long.The second issue is the on switch. It's integral to brewing or foaming meaning there's no way to release the steam without also having the boiler on. No walking away from the machine for you!Given these two objections I'm hunting down another 871 to use for the next few years. Hope this is helpful and don't waste your cash. If I'd gotten one of these initially when I wanted to make espresso at home I'd still be going to the cafe.
