good value, NOT,

UPDATE
I originally wrote this in June; it is now November. In all fairness, I feel compelled to drastically downgrade my opinion of this device, for one reason- the steam wand will periodically blow off the machine, blasting your hand with live steam and throwing hot liquid everywhere. If you are lucky enough to escape a good scalding, it still takes about twenty minutes to clean up- and you still don't have any coffee. The wand is not clogged- I clean it carefully prior to each use- it just explodes.
I WOULD SAY THIS UNIT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
(MY ORIGINAL REVIEW)
I've owned the Krups XP2010, my 4th espresso machine, for about 12 weeks now, and am quite pleased with the performance to date. Initially, it took a bit of trial-and-error before I could produce an adequate espresso, but after some practice, I am easily making some of the best I've ever made in-house. One does have to learn proper technique, though.

Excellent Combo Machine For The Money,

This review is from: Krups XP2010 Combination Unit; 10 cup Coffee Maker & 15-bar Pump Espresso (Kitchen)
I was looking for a combination espresso-coffee maker to fit a specific space in the kitchen. The width and heigth of the unit had to fit within that area. There aren't too many combo machines out there, but the Krups 2010 fits the bill perfectly. It's very quick at producing a good espresso and the coffee maker works great too, filling a 10-cup pot in less than nine minutes. One reviewer claimed the espresso head leaked. I haven't had that problem. Maybe he or she didn't tighten the head enough or they're tossing ESE pods in the filter holder without properly adjusting them. Who knows? I know you can spend a lot more for a standalone espresso machine, but for a combination espresso-coffee machine the Krups works just fine.

Espresso maker leaks,

This review is from: Krups XP2010 Combination Unit; 10 cup Coffee Maker & 15-bar Pump Espresso (Kitchen)
Searched for a long time to find a good quality espresso machine that didn't cost over $500. We had a great workhorse Krups combo espresso coffee machine that was still working after 15 years. Was hoping this one would be the newer, more powerful, fancier model. Boy are we sorely disappointed. The coffee part works fine. Unfortunately the espresso part leaks all over from the gasket and doesn't even produce hot espresso. I exchanged this once, hoping I just got a bad one but apparently the Krups XP2010 is designed badly. Shame on Krups for releasing a premature, untested product.
