KRUPS Arabica Digital, Automatic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine, Espresso and Cappuccino Maker, EA817040, 1.7 liters, Black

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've wanted a Krups machine since 2008 when I first came across them, but could never justify the price tag. I've had a couple of Melitta machines since then and found they made fantastic coffee, but were quite loud and a real pain to clean as there was excess coffee grounds inside the machine from every single use. The Krups machine is more compact, so much quieter, quicker to be available (even though I enabled the flush function which forces water through to clean the machine at start up), it holds more water, more beans and makes a perfect cup. It uses less beans per cup that the Melitta but produces better espresso. Haven't done a clean yet, but it looks like a much simpler process than stripping the Melitta which was required (and if you weren't quick enough the cleaning program would crash out half way). I haven't used the steam function, as I've got a Lavazza milk frother (highly recommended) which takes about the same time to make frothy milk for a cappuccino as the Krups takes to produce 2 shots of espresso. If you plan to use the steam nozzle, you would be better investing in the Krups milk frother jug than using your own jug (or trying to do it in a cup) Overall, I love this machine, it is perfect for me, and with the price being below £400 for the first time, it's worth every penny

Easy to set up , the end product is great but I wish I had known it was not new. It has a slight water leak from the corner of the tank (which I have since found out is a common fault worldwide) also the steam nozzle comes of under pressure, if these could be rectified I would be over the moon. This is the 4th m/c , of other various makes, I have had in last 3 years and problems apart this one gives me the coffee I want and like, but got a poor response from Krups customer service. Not willing to assist put blame on amason. Shame when the product output is so good

We have had this coffee maker for a couple of weeks now, it makes great coffee, and has a smallish footprint so looks good on the worktop. However, we like Latte coffee and the problem with this krups machine is the steam wand continually blows off when the pressure builds when heating the milk, you then have a mess to clear up as it blasts the milk in all directions, I have read other reviews and there seems to be a problem with the steamer wand. We now heat the milk in the microwave and use a battery-powered whisker for the milk. Did consider sending it back as it is not cheap.

Krups is an impressive coffee maker that merges contemporary design with outstanding performance, allowing you to enjoy barista-level coffee in the convenience of your own home. Its intuitive interface and cutting-edge brewing technology ensure a rich, flavorful cup of coffee with every use, making it an essential item for any coffee lover. I will rate it 10 out of 10.

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 researched long and hard to decide what machine to purchase. I am so happy that I selected this machines. It is extremely easy to set up straight out of the box. The buttons and screen on the front are easy to use and understand and most importantly it makes a great cup of coffee, consitently. the only gripe I have, and this is being overly critical and doesn't really affect me that much, is that the water container would be better if it was larger. When you compare its size with other machines it is similar but I think it is a flaw in multiple machines. Again, I am being overly critical but the main thing to take away is that this machine is excellent - I would not hesitate to recommend.

Filter missing! Water test swab missing, filter tool missing! Sure it may not be the most expensive coffee machine out there, but priced at £550 plus you would think they would supply all the parts that are needed for the initial setup instructions! Not sure how the machine works as I don’t want to use it without setting it as per the manufacturer’s guidelines/instructions. Poor quality control from KRUPS. Disappointed to say the least!

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.

Minor malfunctioning from the very beginning
