5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected

R.r. · 29 November 2022

The media could not be loaded. I love coffee fresh beans. The smell. The taste. Everything. I had a barista machine and the old faithful tassimo for when your running late. My wife hates the mess made by the barista machine but I love the coffee so this was a compromise.After reading the reviews I wasn't sure what to expect but my machine is great.First time I used the steamer it fell off so I pushed it on properly and had no issues since.Personal I find it a little weak on the coffee but this is easily solved just make a double espresso or a triple espresso on its strongest setting and it's as strong as the barista machine.I love the easiness of using just press the button and a couple of minutes later nice fresh coffee that tastes great.I have le creuset cup which all fit under the machine with ease so don't do what I did after reading the reviews and get a small jug as cup do fit under with room to spare. Definitely worth it's money I've had it a week now and must have run 60 coffees on it without any problems other than me forgetting to put the bin back properly on the first day and spent 1 hour calling it stupid thinking it was a grinder problem to then find I'm stupid and just needed to push the waste bin in a little more....... so its now been 3 months on and my machine is still working great. Makes about 12 coffees per day or goes though 1kg of coffee per week and still going good no issues with the milk steamer. Great machine

I spent a lot of time researching and comparing before buying this machine. It was a gift for my boyfriend who like us all loves coffee.This appeared to be the cheapest machine around to do it all, without lacking quality!The machine has functions you can programme to suit your style which is a useful feature when you both have different tastes.Beans are also placed in the top, are grinder and tampered internally (a draw to the side captures the used coffee which we now use in the garden)The machine has a self cleaning function and you can purchase the correct tablets etc to ensure the machine keeps in good working order.There’s also a filter that can be purchased separately which especially if you’re in a hard water area I’d recommend is purchased to ensure your machine lasts as long as possible, not to mention the taste of the coffee.Steam wand to the side to froth your milk works perfectly.Glad with this purchase and saves a few bob on buying Starbucks across the way 👀

i had a Krups machine which lasted for 5 years and was excellent, produced lovely coffee and coped with the demands of 4 coffee drinkers in out house without missing a beat. when it finally bit the dust i automatically wanted the same again. this one was the "updated model" which was supposed to be better! - within a year it was playing up and not working properly + leaking. i had to send it back to Bolo for a "repair", came back scratched and dirty. it worked for a bit longer but kept intermittently playing up. the cleaning system never really managed to clean it properly so it gradually got worse until it was just out of warranty and packed up altogether!i will never by another Krups machine, and i will never buy any appliances from Bolo as their aftercare service for repairable items is atrocious.

Easy to operate coffee wise...Nice size for just the 2 of us.When we have guests, we have to keep filling the water tank upA bit of a pain using the milk frother, but hopefully will get used to it..And a bit on the noisy side, being in open plan living.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely brillant

Amazing coffee machine. Always wanted a bean to cup coffee machine, this little baby is total brillant and for half the price of a new one, sometime its worth checking the used sell. I was a little bit worried to purchase one that has been used after reading the defects on some of them. But on my machine you could not notice the 1inch scratch that was mentioned. Usaually I have black coffee, every now and then I have a frothy milky coffee and the froth steam is just brill.

It was a gift from my in-laws and it is a very good one. I love the quality of the coffee. The size of it is alright nothing too big, it makes a bit of noise but I wouldn't know if it is too loud as I don't know what are they supposed to sound like. The only thing I'd say is that when I make a coffee with water it doesn't really make the coffee hot. The water comes out a bit cold so I have to reheat it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coffee great, frother not so much.

Coffee wise it's brilliant, couldn't have asked for a better machine. The frother side though, it keeps popping off when I'm putting the steam into my milk and the milk ends up everywhere. I've tried making sure its dry and pushed in correctly. Still pops off. After having this machine for a while, I realised, if you blow the steam out for 30secs after you've made the coffee the steam nozzle doesn't blow off as much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Product

This was a cheap item..not full / price as damaged box..no instructions..filter install tool and a slightly damaged water tank..but worth the risk as it was to replace one just over two years old. We find any bean to cup coffee machine lasts 2.75years even using a filter in the tank. This goes for Delonghi as well..but happy if we get a bargin to replace the one that starts leaking from the boiler which seems to be on most of them

Great design, shame it leaks

I've had a krups for years, always loved the design, coffee was good. Sadly quality has dropped. Machine leaked from the bottom each time I used it. Gave up and sent back.

Not worth the money
