Title: Not nearly as good as its predecessor!
Product review: Our trusty 16-year-old Krups machine was getting elderly so we bought this one to replace it, and returned it the next day. The construction is cheesy: the coffee holder has a two-flange lock rather than the previous three-flange, so water and steam leaked out around the seal. Also, the steam pipe is now positioned in such a way that even Krups' own steaming pitcher doesn't fit easily under it. Why would Krups decide to offer a new model that doesn't work nearly as well as the previous one?
